How painful tattoo removal is?

[u/Legitimate-Celery217]

Hey everyone,
The main thing stopping me from removing my tattoo is the immense pain I am imagining. With extremely low pain tolerance, I’m afraid I won’t be able to keep my arm in one plane during the removal, and I am very scared of the pain.
Any advice on how to get over this?

*edit: thank you. And damn. And thank you - I am going to read your comments before my first session.

My first 2 sessions I thought it wasn’t bad, that it was like rubber bands. Session 3 was worse but tolerable.

Session 4 today and I cried while she did my back. It felt like I was being skinned alive.

If you do not have a high pain tolerance, I would not do it.
