I haven't managed to get any shots of the back one fading.

It is amazing just how much the front tattoo has faded since starting the removal process, Ms D. Hope you're pleased with the progress as well.

I am still trying to remove the back one though I haven't gotten that one done in a long while. Personally though I think the back tattoo is more faded than the front tattoo.

You've said it's a really painful process - are they giving you any pain relief medication before you start, or are you putting up with it?

They put a topical anesthetic on it but it doesn't seem to work all that well for me. I take ibuprofen before the sessions. I'm trying to get serious pain killers for it but am kind of scared about taking them and then driving home on it (though I live only 5 minutes away from the medical spa.)

could you get them to organise a cab or something? that'd be way better'n driving! and that way you could feel no (or, at least, less) pain.

Or as I've said I prefer to ride a bike, because I hate automatics, and that's all I have to drive. Then again, some guy from the UK was Drunk and riding his bike, and somehow got a BUI

Haha...well totally off topic here but you can get a DUI driving a bike here in Arizona. Completely ridiculous but true!

Yeah my brother told me about that one, note it isn't a DUI, it is a BUI and that is the legal term for it. Anyway, when is the next removal for the back one?

When I looked at the fan photos, I really had to look hard to see the front one, it's almost gone.

Not sure. I generally try to get them done at the same time.

It's been a while since I've asked, so I'm going to go ahead and mention that the one on the front is almost invisible now. My eye is only drawn to the fact that it is missing, which is exciting. How's the back one going.

It's not invisible (I wish though). I do use a little bit of cover up on it when I am shooting.
