A large black, blue and green tattoo on the upper arm reached 50% fading after 5 sessions at Removery over 1 year.
Before (session 0) and after (session 5) at Removery.
The tattoo
A large black, blue and green tattoo on the upper arm on Type II skin (fair, tans sometimes but often burns).
Fitzpatrick Type II is favorable: tolerates standard energy settings with minimal pigmentation risk.
The upper arm is close to the axillary lymph nodes, which supports efficient clearance between sessions.
Timeline
5 sessions at 8-10 weeks intervals accounts for roughly 36 weeks of active treatment.
The total reported duration was 1 year, which means roughly 15 weeks of gaps between sessions.
That spacing is within the generally accepted 6 to 12 week range.
Cost
Removery did not share a total cost. For reference, the average per-session rate in Portland runs $133 to $399, which would put a 5-session treatment in the $665 to $1,995 range.
