Dear Diary,

My arm is so swollen!! The only part of it I can see is my wrist and boy does it look funny 🤨

Unfortunately the lady didn’t put the bandage up high enough so it has rolled down past my elbow exposing the top of the tattoo, which is causing even more irritation than the laser treatment itself 😐

The part of it that I can see has blistered and I can see  blood through the bandage, so it will be interesting to see what it looks like when I can take the bandage off this afternoon once we get to the hotel we are staying at tonight.

We’re going to stay at the same place as we stayed on the way up. It’s really cute and the owner is such a sweetheart. We were literally the only people there when we stayed on Sunday night. There’s not even a check out time because of it.

Anyway, I thought I’d put up the paperwork about how tattoo laser removal treatment works along with the after care treatment steps and the list of what can happen due to the process. That way anyone who is thinking about having the treatment themselves can see exactly what happens.

I’d also like to do a shout out to Selen who did the treatment for me at the Bankstown clinic yesterday. I honestly can’t recommend these guys enough. They are amazing!! http://thinkagainlaserclinic.com.au

We are on the road again after stopping for some lunch. Nicole is calling me at 2:00 PM for an appointment. I was hoping that we could be somewhere that I could use my laptop and record the appointment because I really do love sharing my psychology appointments here.

I believe in therapy so much that if sharing mine helps even one person feel ok about seeing someone to help them then it is 100% worth sharing every one of mine!!
