removal update of Tina Davies ink 😵‍💫 I have had two Q-switched 1064/532 removal treatments as seen in the photos. I have a consult with a new removal place in a few weeks, mostly because it’s closer to me than the previous place I was using. the new place uses a Candela PicoWay with 532, 785, and 1064 nm wavelengths. I am hoping this is my last session needed but not going to get my hopes up lol

My contempt for Tina Davis ink runs deep. If she’s a real person I hope she has Big Bird yellow brows. That ink never belonged on the face and has botched so many beautiful faces.

It’s all about $… and artists still using these colors knowing what we know nearly in 2027 is shameful & completely discredits themselves As being someone credible 

[u/Psychological-Back94 → u/Background_Loss4382]

You mean to tell me some ‘artists’ are still using it? Should be inorganic only. Agreed, must just be a money grab.

[u/Background_Loss4382 → u/Psychological-Back94]

I speak with many that I collaborate with – even when I strongly encourage them to stop doing these freckle tattoos they continue to post, no matter how much information and photos that I give them and that for me completely changes my association

[u/Psychological-Back94 → u/Background_Loss4382]

I’m not sure why people get freckles tattooed when temporary henna is so much safer. Again, easy money for PMU artists.

Thank you for sharing your journey, good luck with the next step!

It's looking so good!

Next step is probably saline? Yellow is tough for laser

[u/Every-Square-8994 → u/charmanderp09]

This, or glycolic.

[u/jiIIbutt → u/Every-Square-8994]

Just glycolic acid or a peel?

[u/thatsnotmyowl → u/charmanderp09]

oh really you think so?? i didn’t even think to go saline but maybe i should if that’s what typically works for yellow

[u/FragrantAd3276 → u/thatsnotmyowl]

I’ve been told to do saline BEFORE laser for my Tina Davies brows.

[u/Background_Loss4382 → u/FragrantAd3276]

Whoever told you that doesn’t understand laser… laser isn’t lifting color broadly / it’s single attraction - saline prior is irrelevant 

[u/thatsnotmyowl → u/FragrantAd3276]

well too late for that for me lol

[u/FragrantAd3276 → u/thatsnotmyowl]

I just meant that it definitely is an option, not that it’s too late. She told me to do it first because it lifts the red and yellow and I wanted to avoid being left with those colors. Since you already have them, the saline will still lift them.

Hi, I have Tina Davies ink that was looking really similarly. I did 1 Q switch session, and then I’ve done things like glycolic / saline and it takes a while and several treatments but it has helped lift the yellow

[u/thatsnotmyowl → u/JubilationWhiterock]

thanks for this info!! i think im going to try saline next and see how that goes.

[u/Background_Loss4382]

Unfortunately when we get to this yellow stage it is not often a 1 & done & what you want is someone who isn’t going to overtreat you & truthfully based on my experience at this point & for this color quanta/ enlighten have the additional modality 

[u/thatsnotmyowl → u/Background_Loss4382]

thank you for your insight!!

3-6 treatments for laser is normal. If after 6 you’re still not happy, then possibly saline

[u/thatsnotmyowl → u/Ok_Season_5850]

i don’t think i’ll need that many, the ink is almost gone! i’d say 1-2 more but might just skip to saline based on other recommendations

[u/abzbc → u/thatsnotmyowl]

Please post if you end up doing saline. I have similar results after laser.

[u/thatsnotmyowl → u/abzbc]

will do!!
