Before (session 0) and after (session 16) at Winter Park Tattoo Removal.
The tattoo
A medium blue, yellow, green and white 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
16 sessions at 10-12 weeks intervals accounts for roughly 165 weeks of active treatment.
At 16 sessions, the treatment ran longer than the typical 8 to 12 session range for a standard tattoo, which is consistent with the case variables.
Cost
Winter Park Tattoo Removal: $12,000 across 16 sessions works out to $750 per session.
Reputable providers typically charge $350 to $700 per session; at $750, this is above the standard range, likely reflecting the size or complexity of the case.

Winter Park Tattoo Removal treated this case with the PiQo4, a picosecond platform.
For blue, yellow, green and white ink, it operates at 1064 nm with a pulse duration of 600 ps & 2 ns.
For blue, yellow, green and white ink, it operates at 532 nm with a pulse duration of 600 ps & 2 ns.
Bottom line
*"There are times you just feel stupid, regretful and ashamed for your actions but at the end of the day WE are our worst enemies.
I would highly recommend using both the patch and ([https://winterparktattooremoval.com/pfd-patch/) fractional if you can"*
