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...

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.
