Howdy from TX

[Napalm Pancakes]

My name is Steve and I live in Bridge City TX. I've been lurking for a while and finally decided to join. I'm currently having laser removal done on all five of my tattoos. Once I'm done, I hope to get work from N.Beavers and L.Cook. It's a long and painful process but hopefully will be worth it in the end. It was actually several post on this site that made me feel more at ease with my decision of removal. Thanks.

Where in the hell is Bridge City?

(Just kidding--I grew up in Groves!)

Welcome, and good luck with your laser removal! Where do N. Beavers and L. Cook work? What kinda stuff are you looking to get? And what's the story on what you're getting removed?

Haha thanks. N.Beavers is back in Houston at his private studio Epoch Tattoo and L.Cook is in Dallas at Rebel Muse. The five tattoos I have are about 12 years old and about the size of my hand from wrist to finger tips. They're all black ink tribal bs that I got when I was into drugs. I've been clean for ten years and I feel that getting them removed will close that chapter in my life.

Very cool. Who did your existing tattoos? I know of some less-than-stellar shops in the area. :)

They were done back when Moms was open in Beaumont. Couldn't tell you the name of the tattooer. I got them all within a weeks time and have had two laser sessions on three of them and go for my second on the other two tomorrow.

Welcome, Napalm. I'm living in Atascocita and have had Nate on my wish list for some time. I'll be looking forward to seeing what you get done from him.

Meantime - where are you getting your laser done, and are you happy with their results?

Thanks SStu, I've been getting my treatments from New Look Houston and have been happy with the results. I first saw them on the MTV show True Life: I hate my tattoo.

So, no blistering or burning? They've got some experience?

I've had blistering and bleeding, but healed fine before my second session. I space my sessions out every eight weeks. It definitely smells like something is burning during the treatment and afterwards feels like a major sunburn for about two hours.
