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.
I live with a non-functioning pituitary (since an operation in 2005 to remove a tumour causing Cushings disease; http://csrf.net/) - this blog describes my fight to get more action from the doctors and my own personal experiences in daily life, similar to that of Bridget Jones Ha!
About Me
- Lottie4979
- 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!
