Tattoo Removal Session 5- Day 18

I am not quite sure if this tattoo is ever going away. Today I went in for the fifth session. Of course the technician comments, "Wow, it is looking great." Really, I think, really, because I was thinking that this would almost be gone by now and it is just faded here and there. I am not sure how much longer it will take, but I can't stop now can I? Today I also forgot to smear the lidocaine (spelling? in case my mom is critiquing)on the tattoo before I left so needless to say it hurt, thank goodness it only last a few minutes. So there you have it, maybe I will get a picture posted after it heals from the laser so you can see the progress or lack thereof.
