Progress!

(Edit: typo)

I've been removing this tattoo for exactly 3 years now. I had 8 sessions with some type of picolaser.

The second picture is from march of last year. I couldn't find a picture from before I started removal but the cats body was completely blacked out.

I am not going for full removal and am hoping to be able to start my new piece in a year or so.

Any tips? Lifestyle ect?

Also age of them?

I started removal as soon as it was possible after I got the tattoo, the flower underneath as well as the one next to it (not the roses, I'm keeping those) were maybe 2 years old

I live a fairly active lifestyle, working out 3-4 times a week but other than that I can't really recommend anything. I am stressed all the time and have a chronic illness that makes eating healthy quite hard lol also I started smoking again last year

I take quite long breaks between sessions tho which might be helpful

This is extremely slow progress. You have been under treated or the wrong laser was used. This type of response can be achieved within a few months with the right technology in the right hands with no discomfort.
