I have six tattoos. I got them at a time in my life when I thought I would be punk rock forever. I'm older now, and at a very different place in my life. I've become a different person.
Today I went to Portland, to OHSU, and had my first of many tattoo removal treatments. I'll post a pic soon. I was given lidocaine and it still felt like my arm was being repeatedly slapped with a rubber band. Not really painful but definitely not a pleasant sensation.
We'll see how it looks after it blisters, scabs, and then heals. Supposedly, we shouldn't see any fading until after the third treatment but it looks different to me already.
