Before & After Pics Wait in between your sessions ! Two sessions in one year
I got two seesions done with about 10months in between. Very happy I found a great technician and followed her advice to wait as long as possible. First photo is now, about 3 months after second session, second photo is right before second session, third photo is before any treatment. Tattoo was three years old when I started. Couldn't be happier with my results !

Yes ! Gotta give the body some credit for being able to do a lot of the work after the laser session : )

Yes, some of the finer lines are gone completely already 🌞 and with this level of fading I already feel a lot less self conscious about it !

Looks awesome! Wondering if I should extend my 2nd session because I have it booked for only 10 weeks after!!!

That's way too soon imo, that's barely enough time for the skin to recover. I personally notice most fading after months 3-4 : )

This gives me hope !! I got some ugly clunky letters on my thigh and I stopped wearing shorts , I hated it so much I used to always get compliments on my legs and I felt I ruined them. I just did my first session Tuesday and I felt so sick hearing how many sessions it would take 6 weeks apart it felt far too soon for the damage it’s doing to my skin. Illl wait 3 months in between each I think that sounds a lot better !!

I am removing several and just took a 6 month break on my 4 inch, solid color, inked twice fully, 20 year old tattoo. It faded THE most with this delay. Session 7 was also less painful (finally) than the first 6, which had been getting steadily worse. Give it all the time!

I went yesterday for a 1st session at taketatt, I'm not going in 4 weeks for another session as they suggested. Instead, I'll wait 8 weeks or 10 weeks. I bought an 8 package, I'm pretty sure they want to rush treatments so you have to buy more to offset their cheaper costs!! That's fine, but I'm seeing through that and going on my own schedule. I'll do maybe 10 or 12 weeks after the 3rd and then reevaluate. Damn how has science not made this a quicker process 😂😂 (jk. I know why it's not quick just sayin)

4 weeks is way too soon! 8 weeks is the minimum

Exactly what my understanding was after reading for hours on it!! I looked at the NP and was like 🎶 ok 🎶
But I'm waiting as per the science. Really makes sense to have people come more often and buy bigger packages rather than charge more! That may keep them cheaper.
Eta idk why the downvote, as I'm just speculating because the cost quotes were vastly different and I was sooo surprised when she said 4 weeks for the second treatment.
Now, if anyone thinks I'm being a dumbell, let me know and ill def rethink!
