Hey! So on Saturday I had my first session of laser tattoo removal.
It took about five minutes to cover the whole thing, which is a lot quicker than I thought it would be. But it hurt! The guy lasering me told me a little bit more about what actually happens in the process. So they use different ‘lenses’ – one for black, one for colour, and (I’m quoting here) “it puts minor burns on your skin”. Which is reassuring at best.
So this is what it looked like immediately after. Very red, very swollen, and very painful!
About 3 hours later the redness had gone down, and the blisters started…
And they got worse…
Just a tip: try not to wear long sleeves, the blisters are really delicate. Just rolling down my sleeve was an effort…
And this is what it looks like now, 2 days later. All the blisters have gone, the bigger ones are starting to scab (ew) and it looks really disgusting but doesn’t feel too bad!
Next session is in 4 weeks time. Check back soon!
