For anyone who has heard that having a tattoo removed is more painful than getting it: IT’S A LIE!!!
Maybe that was true 50 years ago, when all they could do was put acid on it or cut it out.
I got mine lasered 10 days ago and the doctor injected novacaine into it first, so the laser didn’t hurt at all.
It does hurt somewhat now, since it’s all scabby and whatnot, but no more than it did when it was new. Also, I’ve been bad about picking at it. But it’s so exciting when a bit of scab comes off and it has ink in it! Makes me feel like it’s working. I haven’t been able to see the difference yet in the actual tattoo, but that’s supposed to be normal. I’m looking forward to seeing it fade!
