had this done on Wednesday, this is straight after it with a lot of Bepanthon on it, so is still very bruised from the mist shading, this will calm down of course in the next week or so,

I had a small tattoo removed and it cost £80 per session, and needed three, but for cover up, you only need to lighten it, so the work going over it is not affected,
best idea, go get a quote

I had 5 laser treatments at £40 a time to fade my old tattoo enough for a cover-up.

St George montage. I wanted something with the george cross, but without looking BNP/EDL. The main part with George on horseback looking over a smaller dragons head, overlaid on the larger dragons head going up to the shoulder.
The main image i found of george was originally naked on horseback, so got a little chainmail added. Also had the shield a bit battle-worn.
Took about 4hrs. Not to everyones taste, but am v.happy with it. The intention is to get a large templar piece started on my back, and overwork some basic kanji i had done on my left arm about 20yrs ago, so this should all fit in nicely.

Banging work! Definitely worth the wait. The longest I've waited for an appointment is 2 years 10 months, the trick is to just forget about it!

I don't want the new design being compromised by having to cover up the old tattoo. I'm getting it lasered, so I have a nice clean canvas for the artist to work on.
I had my 1st tat done last year. Had a great design done, put it away for a few months to make sure I still liked it later on, researched for a good local studio, but my big mistake was not asking for a certain artist and ended up with the guy with less experience and the end result is awful!
So considering laser removal so I can get a cover up done. How many sessions does it take to fade enough? Mines a large, upper arm black/grey design.
It depends on a few factors, some people fade realy quickly with only 2 or 3 sessions, others need many...

Cheers. It's best to wait a few months after the last treatment otherwise the new tat will fade too is that correct?
Pity it's such a long process, I'm desperate to get rid, feeling scared for life.
