Alright, well, I haven't found any personal advice thus far, just articles from who knows who, and I'd rather get more personal accounts if possible.
I got a tattoo 3 years ago, and the thing is, I still love what it is, its symbolism has gotten me through very rough times and is still very dear to me, but the artist did a pitiful job, went too deep mostly and left deposits when starting and stopping such a simple piece, and there are little dots where it pooled, like someone trying to start a fountain pen! and it's placement is very odd on my ankle and just wears more so over time. It's pretty small, about an inch wide and high and only a black outline ( just giving this info for background so that if someone's had one very similar to mine removed, that could be comforting). I don't regret the tattoo and it's symbolism, only the way it was done, even after reading so many good reviews and going to a more than reputable shop. So, I've learned my lesson.
How was your experience if you've had it done? and did you use picosure or Q switch lasers?
Lastly but most importantly, did you have internal side effects such as nausea, headaches, or other problems and long term sicknesses as a result of the body trying to remove the ink through the lymphatic system? Anyone who has chronic illnesses like autoimmune stuff have it done, because I'm worried the repercussions could be worse, if so.
I'm planning to get a consultation soon and talk prices and how many sessions they think I'd need, and I'll be sure to ask about people with compromised immune systems and bodies and how that's affected. Will post anything I find here for anyone else maybe going through same.
Any advice at all would be much appreciated!
