14 January 2014: Current status

I'm sorry for the long hiatus. I did not go for another session (last was 6th session, which was not updated due to my exam period) mainly because 1) I was way to busy with my school and work 2) My doctor is on maternity leave now 3) I will need to start saving money to buy another package, which I really intend to continue it after my graduate and get a full time job. 

Well, to have a brief sum up of my current status, this is the picture I took just 5 minutes ago:


and to refresh your memory, this is how it used to look like before any removal session takes place:

Total sessions to date: SIX (6)

Amount spent so far: SGD$1605

Before the removal, normally when I go to a new environment and meet new people (eg. work having new colleagues), they will definitely start asking me about my having a big tattoo on my neck as it is way too obvious when I tie my hair, even though I wore collar tee. Now, probably 1 out of 30 will ask me what's the "red patch" on my neck rather than assuming it is tattoo and I will gladly say that "Oh, it's my birth mark" and their curiosity stops there. 

I think removing is worth it but the cost is definitely way to much for a self-survive student like me to  handle.

SO,
I really hope that there are people who are still considering about putting tattoo will chance upon this blog. 

I can't be an advisor nor a counsellor. But I only can say what makes me do all these:

I inked because I believe that the meaning behind it is going to be a life time purpose. When the purpose is gone, what should we do to the tattoo? Should we look at it and cry over it? laugh about it? constantly be reminded about it? 

Let me give you a very vague example:
I want to tattoo a picture related to "Hate" because I believe that I will always hate A and will never forgive A for life.
Next, I tattoo.
One day, I grew up, i grew out of my comfort zone, I had incidents which knocks me hard.
Last, I regret.

* Above scenario is for illustration purpose only.

If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask in the dropbox. I will try my best to reply asap. hmm. Should I create an email for this? Do let me know! :)

Edited:

Black ink only and also went through 6 sessions,

Before removal:

By the way, the doctor did mention that black inks are easier and can be totally removed. I THINK mine should be all cleared by the 10th session :)
