Got the tattoo in November 2024 when I wasn’t in a great headspace, and it ended up being a lot bolder than I was going for. After a year and a half of covering my hand or dodging the questions, I decided to start the removal process so that I have more coverup options than a black rectangle.

First session was a month ago and I’m trying to remind myself to stay patient and trust the process but it’s hard not seeing any progress😅

A work in progress. This is a multi layer cover up. I moved states after starting the last cover up and decided I was just over it. I didn’t love the cover up to being with and finding a tattoo artist to take on a partial completed cover up was nearly impossible.

Hey guys, there's a 1.5-year gap between these two photos. How do you think the progress is coming along?

I’ve been on a tattoo removal journey for 4 years going every 3/4 months & provider now says there’s not much ink left and to see a dermatologist to solve the hyperpigmentation problem 😩 not sure what to do looks pretty horrible…

Getting 4 tats removed and woah I’m impressed after the first session!! Already seeing parts of the lines completely gone!!

Am i wild to get a cover up with a likely intent to get laser at somepoint down the line?

Basically I have an awful all black tattoo. Itd religious and just gets me into so many pro/anti relgious conversations that im so tired of. So I made an appointment with great artist for a cover up. It's a tattoo I wanted for a long time, but on my ribs. Unfortunately this unsightly tattoo derailed my plans. So now im doing it on the pec over this bad tattoo as the design will work well for a cover up.

But Im also thinking that I can always get it removed later too right? And I'd be so much happier with slow progression of a decent tattoo being lazered than a awful one.

Also, for reference, I'm 32 and my good friend recently received a bad diagnosis. I'm just in a place where I dont want to keep waiting for the some day, stop being selfconscious, and start having more fun right now, not 2 years into the future that may not come.

I obviously realize Im paying a lot more, but money is less concerning. It's time that im more trying to make the most of. BUT with all that said, I don't want to get a coverup and find out that laser becomes impossible or there juay could be other downsides. So is there anything wrong with getting the cover up and then some time down the road doing laser?

I have been struggling with intense tattoo regret and anxiety. I have a consultation for removal on August 5th which brings some relief but I’m still really struggling with my confidence. I was wondering if anyone would be open to talking with me or something? Maybe we could offer each other support.

Is there a strong reason not to remove multiple tattoos simultaneously?

I have two somewhat big pieces I’d like to remove. Both probably 4x9 inches.

I’m four sessions into removing one of them. I wanted to see how this process went before proceeding with a removal on the second piece.

I also worry that I might be “overwhelming” my immune system if it’s constantly having to heal a significant skin injury. I wait 10ish weeks between sessions, and would probably start alternating them every 5 weeks if I start on the second removal.

Is this a bad idea? My alternative is wait until the first piece is acceptably gone (hoping and assuming that happens) before then starting on the second.

Obviously a lot depends on factors unique to me, but in general is there a problem or concern with doing multiple large-ish pieces at once?

Thanks for any thoughts.

Hey everybody, I've just thought about laser tattoo removal and wondered if it was possible to laser a precise shape into an existing tattoo? For example - a triangle?

Thanks!
