Thanks guys. It wasn't too bad. The used one laser for the black & one for the color. The black hurt just slightly more then getting the tattoo. However the last 10-15 seconds of the laser for color was pretty intense. I just bit my lip & squeezed my hippo & got through it fine. For the next hour it felt like a really bad rug burn that some evil little elf kept rubbing with sand paper. Then for the next 2 hours it just felt like a rug burn & after that i hardly had any pain at all. It looks like a scabbed over second degree burn this morning, but that's normal. It doesn't hurt at all anymore. so all in all the experience was good. Now I just have to keep it covered & moist so it can heal really well. I go in for a follow up on valentines day to make sure it's healing correctly. Now I'll just have to wait and see on the fading part. The nurse & the laser technician were very nice & let me babble on & on & on. I tend to babble when I get nervous. thank you all for your prayers, I know they helped.
