My Tattoo Removal Progress | 3 Years

[@h-di4qd]

Your tattoo videos have been so wonderful to me for years

[@Qcknd]

Yay! Thank you!

[@Annnie763]

I would be soooo mad if they used the wrong laser on me and made it worse…I hope they’re compensating you in some way. Long live TTT 💖

[@Itsunclegabby]

Folks of color experience this quite a bit. Unfortunately, scarring can be the result. 🙁

[@artisticalex1206]

Oh I would be too.

[@winternightmarecrochet]

Ikr! I would have been so mad especially that part where they went over a part of the tattoo she asked them not to :O

[@bubblegumplastic]

Yeah she's so relaxed about the harm they caused her. Can't relate :')

[@JMSayler]

I'm assuming because this error went all the way to "the higher ups" and they went as far as pinning down who did it and when, that they are working with Qck to do right by her. I mean, she is still going there and seems to enjoy it as much as she can

[@laura_sotomayor]

I know accidents happen but when it comes to something that affects our appearance, our bodies, our health (physical or mental), I find that a company being sorry isn't enough. I hope something is done for you, in your terms and as much as you ask for...

[@FragranceEuphoria]

This

[@dochoppper]

You seem vein. Would not date.

[@deanna_etc]

TTT what a tttreat!!!

[@SwimSweetie100]

I feel like this is one of the only realistic and frank videos on KZbin about tattoo removal. I have had 3 sessions over the last year to lighten for a cover up. Originally thought I’d be there but I’m looking at another session and maybe another 6 months of waiting before considering moving forward. Tattoo removal is NOT a quick process. It can be so frustrating but it will happen with time

[@Lasertattooremoval]

Its a quick process with nd yag laser the more the pain faster the tatoo removerm cause more the pain deeper in the skin the laser go

[@FruitBrute]

“I’m taking a multivitamin, what else can I do?” 🤣

[@allisonscout]

Let's go main channel! I can't believe how far this tattoo has come...I feel very lucky to be able to watch this process in real time. Thanks Q

[@Qcknd]

Thank you so much 😀

[@stephanieboxel]

I know of someone (through work) who is doing research into tattoo removal! There really isn’t a lot of academic research on what is actually happening during the process of laser tattoo removal. It’s pretty neat!

[@misquidedyouth]

You know it's a great day when qcknd posts on main

[@ralph17p]

I was at Bridge City Sinners concert on Sunday and the lead singer is quite tattooed, which made me think of your channel and Tattoo Talk Tuesdays which I haven't seen in, like, forever. And here you are, in my recommendations as if KZbin read my mind. Cool and a bit weird... but mostly cool.

[@Qcknd]

Yay!🎉

[@madeofmatteru]

i love your attitude about this whole process, i think i would be such a control freak about this, which doesnt make sense. i love these videos, even though i have no tattoos. thanks qcknd

[@Qcknd]

Thank you so much!

[@iskarmareal]

I’m in the process of getting a small black ink tattoo removed. Progress hasn’t been great so I’ve been discouraged, but this makes me want to keep going and be more realistic about the timeline

[@carlgrimeseyepatch27]

I remember going straight to your videos when i was freaking out about my own tattoo removal process. So thank you for always being THAT GORL!! It’s been 9 sessions so far on my own tat and it looks like a sharpie drawing your friend did that is starting to wear off …Just a hilarious situation at this point. I truly love and hate this tattoo. It gives me joy seeing the mistakes I’ve made become a learning experience become a funny story to tell. I’m shooting for 80% removal so i can cover this area in the future. I also feel patient and just hopeful that in the end it will be ok. I always wanted to be a heavily tattooed person but this dilemma has definitely given me a greater respect for tattoos in general and a cautiousness in getting them. I’ll keep getting tattoos forever but i will always be thinking long term instead of my feelings in the present. Love you Qcknd ❤

[@cherrypop4675]

I am removing a black ink tattoo not a colored ink tattoo but I do find the longer I wait in between sessions (at least 4 months) the more fading I’m noticing. Best of luck!

[@StevieMichelle]

Sameee

[@padlocksncocoapuffs]

I was recently in Philly and walked past Removery and was like “hey qcknd goes there for tattoo removal” to my husband and my cousin who have never seen your channel. Glad to hear it’s going well albeit slowly.

[@BlondeJenny83]

As a heavily tattooed person I thank you for this content- the information is so valuable. As someone who is also kind of a “pioneer” in body stuff- such as scleral buckle on my right eye surgery 20 years ago when I was just 20 and that prosthetic was still fairly new and this last July I had a full ceramic knee replacement surgery…I just wanna say I appreciate you. Thank you for sharing your journey in the beginning of this “new medical tech” is what I wanna say ❤❤❤ so much love from California

[@poonywooon]

Hey! My removal technician gave me a really good tip that worked really well. Along the same lines as massaging... but basically i found constant massaging really annoying, because of where my tattoo is on my other arm my hand was getting really tired (not impossible, just a bit annoying), so my tech suggested i get a spoon and whatever balm i was using (vaseline for me, but whatever you prefer), rub in the balm and then smack the area lightly with a spoon. this helps the blood flow which is what encourages the ink to leave your body. the blood flow you can get from spoon smacking vs hand massaging is honestly worlds apart. i did this every evening while watching tv and i saw a huuuge difference! obviously only do this once the blistering has stopped and your skin is smooth.

[@totallyluvinmusic26]

A tattoo video from you feels like warm and cozy nostalgia💛

[@-MaryPoppins-]

Get a foam roller!! Yes the kind for your back and legs. Make sure it’s on the harder scale. Then massage your outer leg by rolling through! It will help your IT band AND will break up that ink better!

[@Anxiouscustomer]

Was just thinking how much I miss your tattoo videos!

[@DesertRockCoJewelry]

I’ve been with Removery since June and only being two sessions in, I’m thankful to be seeing great results on my black and grey leg sleeve. I did a ton of research before starting removal so I implemented a few things into my routine that help my lymphatic system clear the ink more efficiently. Third session coming up in November as I intentionally took more time in between my second session in august because the pain is no joke. I hope your last few sessions show huge results qcknd!

[@luciamarzi]

Hii! Would you mind sharing what you do to cleanse your lymphatic system? I started my removal journey on 4 tattoos around 3 months ago and I am constantly worried about getting ill from the heavy metals that are in the ink. I started to work out, drink tons of water and take chlorella. Any other suggestions? 😊

[@cairaoke]

good to know that removery uses ice packs. i’ve gotten some areas quoted from them but haven’t taken the plunge yet. your TTT videos on removal have eased my mind on the topic so much! love ya, Q!

[@Samionigaming]

Thanks for this video. I’m having a tattoo removed atm, I’m about 4 sessions in and it doesn’t look that different! This makes me feel a little better. Good luck!

[@Qcknd]

Good luck!!

[@naomibeikes3758]

Because of your videos I thought twice about a huge back tattoo haha. Thanks for saving me from a lazer appointment in the future 😅

[@allie1564]

i have been waiting my entire life for another tattoo talk tuesday 😭😭😭

[@GlamGirlGabi]

I absolutely love your channel and entire vibe. I am so excited when you upload something new. I wanted to remove a half-sleeve and got so scared because it's so visible that I ended up not going for it. I am currently removing a piece on my back but I have only had one session so far so I don't see any results yet. We will just have to wait and see...

[@tylerkihm8131]

So happy to see you on my feed!!!!

[@Qcknd]

Yay! Thank you!

[@NoDecaf7]

Hello! Good to see ya!

[@Qcknd]

Hey there!

[@sebastianjean_]

TTT!? the week before my local tattoo convention!? a blessing

[@itscarolinemary]

I find it so interesting laser can hurt less over time. I can’t wait to see the end result and your future tattoo there 🥰☺️

[@malloryr4883]

12 sessions in here. I'm with you in spirit.

[@Emi.Leppien]

i miss you and TTT 😭💗 what a time to be alive

[@plantsinjars]

I missed your videos!!! So happy for this

[@Qcknd]

Yay! Thank you!

[@Jesswinterr]

I’m removing half an arm sleeve, it’s pinkish and greenish. The black is coming out pretty good. The pink is almost completely gone. It’s the green that’s being SO stubborn. It’s interesting it’s sort of the opposite for you

[@hubabaloop]

I am truly shocked by 18 sessions!!!! I remember the first vid! 🤯

[@justoverit]

I will always watch a new qcknd vid

[@willabbott7723]

Tattoo talk Tuesday, it's nice to see ya!

[@katp3892]

Bro i havent seen you in 9 months and didnt realize you were posting on a 2nd channel fml immediately subscribed

[@Qcknd]

Thank you!!!

[@monimo2]

a quick heehaw for a tattoo talk tuesday!

[@partyhatkid9940]

This was a really honest and informative video - I loved your perspective too! Thank you for sharing with us

[@karthawne5]

Wow i had no idea removal was such a process and i had no idea about the whole oxidization thing! Thank you so much for talking about it

[@kaylacaldwell7300]

Dude I am so sorry this is unrelated to the subject of this video but I started watching and enjoying your videos due to the tattoo content just recently but was so excited the moment this one popped up because HELL YES MEWITHOUTYOU! Favorite band of all time ❤

[@Mualulu]

the return of the queen!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@racheljasper5955]

Thank you so much for this! Sharing your experience and also the tattoo removal subreddit has really helped me decide that I would prefer to just go for a cover up instead going with the removal process.

[@eimajhteb8288]

So interesting..,had no idea white ink oxidizes like that. Cheers to your patience and dedication to the process!

[@PickNicole]

Thank you for the update! I love your openness and will to go down the tattoo removal process. It seems like a technology that is still being refined and has more to be discovered. Your journey helps us all as more is learned about laser removal

[@JbMaun]

I just found a Removery location in my city, and am eager to check them out for an inner bicep blowout. Crossing my fingers I can maybe fix it up quick

[@luvlost03]

So glad to see a video from you, would love to see a vlog every once in a while.

[@Qcknd]

Have you been over to my second channel yet? :D

[@babeofmoss]

Been finding myself thinking about you and your tattoo removal whenever I think about getting one of my own tattoos covered up. So this little update was nice 💚 Curious to see how things play out with this.

[@amberthest]

Curious about how the removal went for some of your smaller, perhaps less stubborn tattoos!

[@tattoolover5753]

I’ve got so many of those manga you have on your bookshelf

[@mossymindful]

Hearing you say the words "tattoo talk tuesday" just made my entire week 🥹🥹🥹

[@deluxenonsense4304]

Thank you for sharing this! I am starting my journey with laser removal soon, and it's great to get info from someone who's already going through the process. (19 year old me had some dumb tattoo ideas lol)

[@inu099]

I can't believe it's been 2 years now x.x

[@Narygzhna101]

3 years really flew by but its looking good! also, I love your mewithoutyou shirt!!! so sad they split 😔

[@1129buttons]

I’m realizing I’m very thankful for a body that refuses to hold color ink, or at least it mostly faded. Because if I choose to get any removed, I only have the outline and black shading left.

[@av.angelion8593]

qcknd tattoo talk on main??? lets gooo

[@olgaomen957]

It's a great day when Qcknd posts! :) So glad you're posting and doing well on your journey!

[@Qcknd]

Thank you!!

[@RuthieMicaela]

I'm prepping for my first session! It's fine line, not a whole lot of shading. I'm so nervous 😬

[@cj222100]

I wonder if we're going to the same Removery. I'm not sure if they have multiple locations in Philly, but mine is in the Rittenhouse Square neighborhood.

[@ALIENBLADE]

Welcome back 🙂

[@vinwritten]

I did 25 laser sessions with pico over the course of 3.5 years. While my large colorful tattoo faded significantly, I gave up. I can’t imagine what harm I’m doing to myself and parts of the skin are completely discolored and some parts feel bumpy. I stopped sessions a year ago. I still don’t know what I’m going to do now.

[@ladyjewl5803]

Be great to see a photo. I’m wondering if it would be worth me even having mine done as I want it completely gone 😢

[@devonglide1830]

That seems like a lot of sessions. The hospital I'm going to wants me to wait at least 3 months between treatments.

[@TheChelseacraze]

I’ve had all my tattoo removal sessions done by removery, luckily it’s not costing me anything but I believe I’ve been doing it every 4-6 weeks for a year and a half. I’m removing my entire chest piece and I’m going for full removal as well, but I will be getting it covered up because I’m gonna get a full body suit.

[@w.m.fawcett]

How is it not costing you anything, if you don’t mind my asking?

[@sistakillua]

hello! was it pretty easy getting approved for the complete package or was it complicated? I’m also looking into the same clinic! thank you in advance!

[@ayelenmarquez2632]

No puedo creer que pasaron dos años ya!

[@ashtonmackle4242]

Yay qcknd update

[@8happyperson]

do you have a time you think you would cut off the tattoo removal and just go ahead and get your back finished and do your best to cover up what's left of the skull?

[@thickmetalgf]

Did you get a discount from them using the wrong laser?

[@KarenP1939]

She should as it is not cheap about $300 for a A4 size tattoo here in Australia Victoria

[@KatAbbey]

She said on stream that she has a deal with Removery so all her sessions are free!

[@queenrosesblue]

Do they say the white ink is removable? I'm getting tattoo removal and have some white, I want it all gone but am afriad to even have them touch it with the laser

[@greyfoodz]

Tattoo Talk Tuesday let’s goooooo!!!!!!!

[@XOBRE123OX]

Happy to see ya again!

[@tyronesmith9267]

I hope they use the pico shure laser, it is the best....blue yellow and red are preety bad to remove tho! I got my right upper arm lasered (black n gray) top notch no scaring no nothing like its never happening, good luck for the future 🙂

[@Morelyia]

I'm getting mine done at removery as well in Canada ^^

[@Nat-xy4we]

so good to see you 🤩

[@bepald-wilpums]

Looove to see a tattoo talk Tuesday

[@maggiescarlet]

Okie I thought of some Q's for the physician :) Have you ever removed a face tattoo, is the process different for that? What's the largest piece you've worked on? Has any tattoo been small/light enough to disappear in one session? Does it effect freckles and other kinds of skin variations like that?

[@edenjames4719]

I had my first tattoo removal session a couple of days ago. I was recommended to dermaroll my tattoo six weeks after my session. I’m wondering if that was also something recommended to you?

[@bandy-sk5889]

I can't believe u haven't tried non Lazer tattoo removal yet it is usually a bit faster on the colors

[@user-bt9jv1fl6w]

So excited for a new triple t!!!

[@braxlucky5718]

I’m having a reasonably lrg tattoo removed I’m up to my 6th session and I’m only now just seeing a little bit of fading but I know I have a very long road ahead of me Iam also looking for full removal but I also know that I will most likely have some spots that will not budge.

[@TheChelseacraze]

White is the one color that is impossible to remove where as black is the easiest color to remove.

[@Pixielocks]

NEW QCKND UPLOAD I AM SATTTTTT 🫶🏻🌈💕💫🌷✨

[@yassmeen91]

have you considered taking heavy metal binders to help speed up the process ?

[@emilysando-brown1701]

Please update! This happened to me with white ink 🙏🏼❤️

[@itscarolinemary]

first 👀💕 yayy

[@Qcknd]

Yes you are!

[@taytaymarie92]

Hi quack!!! Missed ya

[@Qcknd]

You too!

[@Pweips]

what a cosy booknook

[@amandapoeppel5074]

You cut your hair!! It looks good ❤

[@Qcknd]

Yes! Thank you!

[@cherryblossomchick12]

Loving the hair Quack x

[@RoyalGonk]

Just wanted to say you are sooooo beautiful also nice tattoos

[@LittlestHoboKatie]

I wonder is it possible to add colour... to change the colour... and make it more easily removed... i know that sounds crazy but i know with hair you can cancel out certain colours using other colours...

[@devonglide1830]

I don't think that will work. I watched a video where a guy covered his old tattoo with black. As he went through the removal process, he said the black cover up started disappearing, but the old tattoo he originally tried to cover over became visible again (it had none black colors).

[@gGadget]

Love to see quack 💚🧡💛

[@IArrAbus]

When are u getting new merch quack?! :)

[@cozyverbena1574]

Why is this your first video after 9 months. I thought you were coming back?

[@Qcknd]

I moved over to a new channel!

[@amanduhhhh42]

TTT in the year of our lord 2023? we are blessed

[@artisticalex1206]

I have some tattoos I don’t regret but I wish I would’ve thought about the idea longer but it isn’t in where I feel like I need to laser my tattoos. I heard it hurts like hell and I bet it especially does on the hip since they say the ribs is one of the most painful places to get tattooed as well.

[@missvaleska98]

Missed you ❤

[@sadbby4220]

Mother is giving Alyson Stoner lately I live

[@elanagreene1104]

Have you ever fone chemical peels on the area? I know with certain tattoo makeup they say fo avoiding chemical peals and exfoliation because it makes it fade quicker. Maybe something to look into.

[@caitlynj0nes]

Please update!
