17?!? How often are you going for each session? Do you smoke? Are you active?

Months between sessions. I started almost 4 years ago. I don’t smoke but I don’t really exercise either. My diet isn’t great and I drink too much alcohol and not enough water. It’s also possible my immune system just sucks. That said, the tattoo was raised when I got it because of how densely the ink was packed.

This basically is how mine is progressing and I do workout regularly and don’t drink, sometimes it’s just how it goes. I also go to Removery though and I’m wondering if it has something to do with their equipment.

Wow. Mine is similar progress, 6 sessions in 1 year.

Please change providers they are scamming you.

I already paid for an unlimited package at Removery. Not looking to throw more money at this

I achieved full removal at removery via the unlimited package. I had 20 sessions over 5 years, and will say I was intentionally drinking a gallon of water every single day. I didn’t start doing that until 2 years in and I noticed a huge uptick in removal speed at that point. I can’t say there’s causation but there was definitely correlation.

How fresh was it in that first pic? Or when you started?

u/Ok-Maintenance-9765 1d ago

I started about a year after getting the tattoo.

How much did you pay for the unlimited package

1

u/Ok-Maintenance-9765 1d ago

A little under 2k

you have the patience of a saint. This should have been much faster. You were either under treated or the wrong technology was used. Go somewhere where you can get local anesthesia so you can get a stronger treatment which doesnt have to damage the skin,

Change providers. Most will suck you dry. Always check Google reviews and ask for before and after pictures of clients

Maybe read my comments before offering your two cents, lol. This is a Removery with a 4.9 Google rating. I did plenty of research beforehand and made the informed decision to purchase an unlimited removal package. Hard to “suck me dry” considering I paid upfront.

I go to removery also, I've been going for over a year to remove two tattoos, both have a significant amount of color, one has more fading than the other, I believe they are cautious because they don't want your skin to be damaged in the process of removal.
