About Me

My photo
I'm in my 30's, which to me sounds very odd. I only feel like I'm in my 20's and definitely not a grown up. I have spent the last 7 years battling with my health; firstly spending 2 years getting a diagnosis for a tumour on my pituitary gland which was causing Cushings Disease; then spending the rest of my life dealing with a pituitary gland that doesn't work. However, I have a fantastic family and an amazing boyfriend who I live with and adore - they keep me going and inspire me to try to make the most of life and my life in general.

Tattoo zapped for the second time!


Ok so it looks pretty sore and red, and I'm not going to lie - it was pretty painful having this lasered. The tattoo is on my forearm so the skin is quite thin, it did bleed and blister but it's been a few days now and it has all scabbed over now. The lasering is a process so you don't see immediate results, the laser basically boils the ink which breaks it up into smaller particles; your body can then absorb and remove the ink particles. It should start to look a bit more faded in a couple of months time. I won't be having another zapping for about three months, this gives the skin a chance to completely heal and reduces the chance of scarring and skin damage. Also, the longer you leave it between treatments the more successful it will be. It's a pain both in the literal sense and the fact it takes so long but at least it can be done.
