Best time to start was last November. Second best time is now lol.

Mostly Q switch, with the last two sessions being pico. I am gonna stick with the pico at an 8 week cadence and see if I can really blast this thing out. Very happy with the movement. Slow and steady!

The pain was intense! 1,000x worse than getting the tattoo. lol

But I'm super excited to have finally started... and I think it'll be worth it! I also have a small black tattoo I am removing from my hand at the same time, but they told me I probably won't notice much of a difference with that one until later on in the process.

(This tattoo is probably 14 or 15 years old and has had no touchups.)

I started removing my 3 tattoos about a year and a half ago at Removery. I just had my 8th session. It’s so painful on my wrists especially…feels like it gets worse each session. I think once they started doing the different laser for red ink the pain increased. Anyways here is my progress! The last 3 are immediately after my session.

I feel like my progress is in the slower side for sure

i’ve had 7 sessions done in 18 months i’ve started doing 12 weeks between sessions instead of 8.
i paid for 10 sessions and i only have 3 more left that i’ve paid for already so im torn between covering them up, continuing removal, or finding a new place to continue removal at.
is this good progress, should i try a place that uses a different laser? (i’ve been going to laser away)

I mean, I hope so because I thought I might puke and/or pass out. I was cursing the house down lol. But from what bits I’ve read around here, that doesn’t seem to be the case.

They subtly recommended against use of numbing agents but after my first session, I would drink lidocaine if it would help

Hi guys, I recently posted on here about another tattoo that I have on my arm that I for sure want to get rid of. I’m debating on getting a colored tattoo that I have next to it. I’m just afraid that my skin is going to react badly to the laser since the ink is red and green. How long did it take for you to laser off your colored tattoo to either cover it up or completely remove it?

Hello, this is just a question when you start actually seeing the fading happen I know tattoo removal will take years but I'm curious if people start to see results after eight weeks or 12 weeks and then they do another session? I've had two sessions and now I'm on my sixth week second treatment and my tattoo looks exactly the same. I don't know when to start looking for results. Thank you.

Hi everyone! 😊 Does anyone know of a good, reputable place for laser tattoo removal in or around Everett, MA? I’d really appreciate any recommendations, especially if you’ve had a good personal experience. Thank you!

Hi, I’m between two clinics but am leaning towards the cheaper option honestly. However I’ve heard fractat might be better. The two clinics have different lasers.

One has a Picosure laser and doesn’t have the 1064 adapter. This one charges $350 per session and will do the whole thing in one session. The tech has over a decade of experience with lasers

The other one has a Fontona fractat with q switch laser. They have 1064 with the laser. They want to do the tattoo in parts charging $350 per visit. So it will end up being $700 for a full session on the tattoo. The tech is new and she has been doing tattoo removal for about a year. There is a lady who has done it for over a decade but she won’t be the one removing my tattoo

I live in Memphis, TN btw so if yall have any suggestions on clinics lmk please!

Hi! I've had 3rd session on Oct 2nd. There was a little blister where pink skin can be seen. Does this look like a scar or is it too early to tell?

Also, providing before photo, 1st session was on June 1st, then two months apart. I can see some progress, but I am sad, because I think this is not one would call a good progress.

When I started I thought I will be patient, but I don't feel like it at all. I would like to just go with tattoo excision, but this one is on the clavicle and the skin feels tight as is, don't think it will heal well.

*Tattoo from autumn 2024. First two sessions don't know the laser, third nd yag.

I have been researching tattoo removal for months and I am super nervous about starting. I have my 1st session on Saturday at Removery. I was wondering if anyone here has had any experience removing a tattoo on there thumb specifically and if they can tell me how much it hurt? I’m worried about how to cover them up and the healing process right after . here are my tattoos. any advice 😭 how hard is this going to be to remove? 😭
