Tattoo removal - final phase

For those of you who intend to get a tattoo, think several times
before you do it.
If tattoo is painful, removal is unbearable and so is the social stigma.

I have been through abt 4 sessions of tattoo removal before but this is the most painful.
My tattoo was abt 4cm by 3cm and now it is left with only the green.
I have been avoiding the removal procedure for abt 1.5 yrs and I decided to continue this yr since I'm going for my pre wedding photoshoot next yr.

Dr A was the prettiest doctor I have ever met when I first started my consultation with her. She had the most flawless skin. Well, this is to be expected from a dermatologist.
But today when I saw her - she still has great skin - but she seems to have aged abit. I just cannot tell how.

She started the procedure quickly after greeting me and some briefing.
She began gently on the skin, with small pulses that was pretty much bearable.
After a minute, she began to increase the pulse strength and the pain was terrible.
The previous session I had 1.5 yrs ago was painful, too, but this was more.
My head started spinning. I couldn't control my limbs as the muscles flinched at every pulse shot into my skin. My palms were sweaty. I thought I was really going to pass out. But I bit my lips and tried to imagine myself in a wedding gown. Then, I held my breath and bit harder.
Dr A tried to calm me down by repeating that it's going to be done soon.
It was over in less than 5 minutes.
But it felt like eternity.

I came out of the room looking pale.

My fiance accompanied me while we waited to make payment.
We started chatting abt the proposal ring. Then I got emotional and started to cry because the proposal ring was too cheap.
Sigh. Me and my fuss.
I guess I hurt his feelings when I told him that. But still, he pacified me.

Whatever, I still like the ring very much.
