Well here it is after the 1st treatment. Bearing in mind that i have some antibacterial vaseline like ointment over it, which is bringing it out more. I can actually see about 10% that has faded already.
Not telling the missus, see how long it takes for her to notice. Gotta get to the CC statement when it arrives before she opens it, otherwise she'll see the $600 charge.

I'm sorry...what?!?
Serious. Google "internal organ piercing" , I would throw on some links but they are all blocked at work.
Good luck with the removal, I waited until 29 to get my first one due to wanted to make sure I wouldn't regret it.
I had any done in my youth I'd most likely have got those removed myself. Really the key is taking the time to really think about the choice & ensure a suitable artist is found who is competent at the style you want.
I ended up travelling to London & had to wait 8 months to find a guy experienced enough in the style I wanted, this should be common practice if your getting inked for life. Saying that both of mine while are very large can be hidden easily by simply wearing sleeves, this again is a good idea to prevent regret (also to keep work options open).

Pain wise, again still only a 1 out of 10, as very mild sunburn... I was expecting worse TBH. Mild sunburn at worst.
The pain during the laser though was BAD though ! Glad its only a small area and not like a back piece or something. They gave me a rubber ball to squeeze. A girl in the waiting room who was on her 3rd appointment was really anxious due to the pain. Another patient offered her some hypnosis to try and calm her.. After that laser hit my leg, i knew why straight away why she was all edgy.

Interesting, how big of a tattoo did you have removed? Is it not almost all gone now that you've had 7 sessions ? I was expecting it to be almost all gone by the time i hit 7 sessions.

Going for a consultation to look at getting about 5 tats lightened by laser to cover up this weekend.
Overall size is probably about half a sleeve.
Glad to hear the after effect is mild I was more concerned about that then the pain during.

So thought I'd update this thread. Just gone past the half way thru the removal process.
Here's a pic 60days after the 4th session. As you can see the tattoo is clearly faded. It's now one treatment every two months.
And here it is after the last laser treatment (number 5 out of 8) which i had yesterday and it frickin hurt ! to say the least.. Also as i'm now discovering, they're upping the laser power. Was literally limping out the place the burning sensation was so bad. They're also are taking longer on the laser. Probably around 60secs now as appose to the 15-20 or so secs that they started on. Not looking forward to the next one.
Glad its only a small tattoo and not a big one. Also embarrased of the ghastly blistering.. Will wear trousers, long jeans (even tho i'm in the tropics) can't have anyone getting a look at this and throwing their recently eaten food up.

True, but......................................I live in the tropics, therefore i'm always in a pair of shorts. My mindset when i got it was well, if i live to regret this, i'm always in a pair of long trousers anyway (living in England !!) As I got older, the sillier it became.. Actually (not that i really minded) but it was the butt of many jokes. Mostly from DaMissus
Did feel embarrassed if i was doing a boat thing with work or something like that. I'd be conscious of it. Lets face it a Taz is pretty damn stupid thing to have tattooed on your leg. Nothing more embarrasing than a lady asking you, oh what do you have tattooed on your leg.... ummm a Taz, yeah they were in fashion back in 1989 in England. and made a joke of it.. (my 'ol excuse)
In the USA, you probably have to be a proper licensed dermatologist, before they'd let you lose with a laser. Hence not really all that many of them around.
Plus the 100k outlay for the machine. From there it's probably 10k per month running costs of the biz. Advertising, staff, etc.
I'm sure the guys running it are making a good amount of money.. It'll only grow too, as EVERYONE these days are getting tattoo's. Still too young or not had 'em long enough to regret but most will eventually regret and look at the removal options.
which basically takes a good yr, and 8 sessions of excruciating pain.
