So Long, Tattoos! - Day 1

It's been about 28 hours since I completed my first tattoo removal session, and I just took the bandages off for the first time. I have to admit, it's kind of gross looking, but I do believe it works!

You can see in the picture that some of the black ink in the tattoo on my back has faded a lot already. It's supposed to progressively get lighter for the next 3-4 weeks, so I'm excited! If this works the way I think it will, it will be worth every penny of the $1,254.00 I spent on this.
Taking the bandages off was pretty simple. Putting the bandages back on, however, was not. I had to twist myself in all sorts of ways to see my backside in the mirror, while attempting to put the new bandages on the right spot. Thankfully, the Bacitracin I'm using kept the pads sticking to it so I could attempt to tape it down! THAT was the tricky part. I'm definitely not looking forward to changing these things once or twice a day for the next 1-2 weeks while it heals. And I have to do this whole routine until it is COMPLETELY healed to prevent any scarring. F-U-N!
