I am finally gonna work on removing my heart tattoo! I bought this Groupon and looked at previous work from the shop. Looks legit!
I arrived for my appointment with Tom and got down to business pretty quickly. From previous experience I drove with an ice pack on my tattoo to start numbing it. Tom hooked me up with a SUPER ice cold ice pack. I told him it'd been about five years or so since my last treatment on another tattoo I'm trying to get ride of and it took about fifteen minutes previously. He said this would be really fast... OMG! He did the black outline in like ten seconds and I could just feel it a little bit. Then we iced the tattoo again and he did the red - He said it would just feel like hot water being splashed and would hurt less than the black. I didn't feel a SINGLE thing! It was AMAZING!! SUPER impressed with present laser technology! The total process probably took less than five minutes!
He said to just watch for possible blistering in the red ink but otherwise no special treatment needed to be done or anything.
I scheduled my next appointment for six weeks and was on my way!
The skin just felt a bit irritated and I didn't want clothing or my seatbelt touching the area that was treated but otherwise this was nearly a painless experience!
So if you are thinking about getting a tattoo removed, don't be a scardy cat and just DOOOO EEEEET!
(I've had about 8-10 treatments on an arm tattoo and now I am working on this one!)
I'll update with each session including pictures so fellow Yelpers can see the progress!
