Laser Tattoo Removal - Tenth Post

Last photo before my 5th treatment, this is taken two months after my 4th zapping.

5th Treatment, had both lasers again for this one.  Seems like there is less blistering than last time though:

Laser Tattoo Removal - Eighth Post

Had my 4th treatment today, this photo taken a couple of hours after it.  The nurse told me today that she thought that it may have been a mix of ink in the original tattoo as the bottom part of it is looking a bit blue.  So she treated me with both the usual Q-switched Nd:YAG: 1064 nm and the Q-switched Ruby: 694 nm.  There is also some blistering after this treatment, which is apparently normal after using the Ruby laser. 

Day 2:  Lots of blistering...

11th July a week after the 4th treatment:

Laser Tattoo Removal - Fifth Post

Ok so had my third treatment on the 3rd May.  I spoke to the nurse who told me that they turn the laser up one notch each treatment.  I started on level 5 and on Thursday it was my third treatment so level 7.  Apparently it goes up to 10..  Again the treatment was pretty painful, but over quickly.  There was a strange smell I noticed this time, hard to describe, almost like a chemical burning!! Nice....

This photo was taken a day after the treatment.  It really does not hurt at all but is is really really itchy..i have taken an anti-histamine which seems to work.  Also been putting on aloe vera gel and copper peptide tissue repair cream.
