Anyone know how much better the Picosure new laser works in comparison to the q-switched yag? I’ve had about 3 sessions done with the q and I have certainly noticed a difference but it’s more clear now than ever just how long this process takes. Supposedly the Picosure is able to do it in less than half the time, though I hear it is much more expensive. Just wondering if anyone had any legitimate information on the new laser.

but with 3-6 sittings, i’ll still be forced to do something darker and bigger, correct? Is there any possibility of removing them all together? ..Or is it in your guesstimation that I would always have markings no matter how many times I was lasered. I realize these are just opinions, but the more the merrier, as long as they’re constructive 😉

I would say 3-6 zaps should do it good enough for a coverup. But you should have your cover up artist picked out and discuss this with them before preceding.

Thank you for the elaborated input! Yes, i have another on my forearm from a different artist and it has never itched or felt raised at all so I guess it could just be the amount of ink that is in the half sleeve. If you had to guess, how many sessions would you think it would take to completely remove or at least be able to cover it up with endless possibilities? I know this is only an estimate and i’m only taking it with a grain of salt but i’m just curious as to what kind of frame i’m looking at. I was guessing anywhere from 8-12.

It’s not particularly well-designed or executed, but it’s not awful either. It could have been far, far worse. Considering that it’s entirely in black and gray, the outlook is great for laser removal. I think the piece is too big to simply cover after a couple laser sessions, so I would recommend going for a bunch of sessions and removing as much as possible. Make sure you choose a reputable place to do it.

Regarding the itching, you’re likely to have that with any tattoo if this one bothers you. I have 3 tattoos: one in black, one in B&G, and one in color. All 3 are from highly regarded artists who use quality inks and yet the only one that doesn’t itch is the solid black one. The itching is minor and I don’t break out in rashes, though I do frequently get some stray bumps on the color one. FWIW, the two that itch are both on my upper arms like yours.
