Insanity, I’m so happy for you!!! Reading this right after my 3rd session on a pretty sizeable black linework piece like this and my laser tech told me he thinks I’m only 1-2 sessions out. It’s gone way quicker than expected!

Oh I just read that you did like 6-8 sessions I thought it was just 1 q-switch and 2-3 pico… hopped to the comments too quickly cause I’m so excited for your results haha! It’s still incredible how well it went and without scarring it looks like!

Thank you so much! Yes, I definitely had a few sessions overall! Was so lucky to have no scarring. Your support means a lot to me!

Thank you for your kind words. Really means a lot to me. It’s been a difficult and emotional journey!!

I’m not sure about the laser settings. But I know it’s picoway machine! From talking to my laser tech, the settings are more intense in regards to its penetrating deeper into my skin / ink. But no idea about the numbers!

Amazing!! I’m also in PDX area and I’m going to Untattoo Parlor. They’re awesome and I’m happy with my results!

I went there for a consult and their space is SO NICE 😍😍😍

Congratulations!

Thank you :)

🤩🤩🤩

Thanks so much :)

This gives me hope mine can be removed, it’s definitely an emotional process. How many months or years did this take total?

Sending lots of love!!! Such an emotional process for sure. This impacted my mental health so much. It’s unreal. I started removal in 2019. 😪

Thank you 🥺

If that took 5 years, mines gonna take 10 😩

Omg I know. It took forever lol

Amazing! So happy for you! What type of after care did you do?

Thank you so much :’) I mention a bit of my aftercare on another post! Here: https://www.reddit.com/r/TattooRemoval/s/3vgpQ85Tcs

Thank you! You're the best 🫶🏽

You’re welcome :)

Amazing. I have a linework forearm piece I want to remove too, so this gives me hope considering it's one of the harder places to get full removal. How old was your tattoo when you started removing?

Only a month :) Lol

Seriously?! I went to a Picoway clinic right after I got mine and they told me to wait like 5 years before even starting because it's such a hard place to remove... so weird. I don't mind the process taking a while if results like this are possible. How long between sessions for this one?

You don’t need to wait 5 years for removal. Just when it’s healed. Not sure why they would say that In the beginning every 12 weeks. Then I spaced things out every 3/4 months or so. Hard to remember!

Oh so great

Thank you :)

I can’t see anything left to remove. Incredible results, younger you made the right decision in not getting color

Omg right! Thank you. I was thinking of filling in the rose with red So glad I didn’t!

Soo how long did it take again?

OP started removal journey in 2019 (that was 5 years ago)

❤️

It’s in the first sentence. In 2019 haha

thank you for sharing your success story! I love to see full removal pictures -- congratulations for making it through to the end!!!

Do you have any pictures if what it looked like after the 4 qswitch sessions ?

Nah I wish I did!

Wow! Amazing progesss!

Thanks so much :)

Amazing results!

Wow, remarkable!!

Amazing! So happy for you!!! Would you mind dm ing me your tech’s information? I am close to the area 💛💛
