Danielle, I was wondering if you would give us photos that show the progress of your tattoos fading.

Or further updates via video blog. The first one was good and it was educational too. I had no idea this was how they removed tattoos....
Me "dream" only two small hearts on the pubis of Danielle. Harmless.:p

I will see if Rob (the FTV photog) will take pictures of the tattoos after the sessions. Thing is, you don't notice a difference for a week while the ink is dissolving. So it would probably have to be a week after the tattoo removal session.

Glad to see you decided to have the Tats removed.
Fresh clean skin is far more of a turn on than seeing a Tat
Yeah, tattoos are icky, it's good that you are getting them removed.
when is your next session?

What's the current removal progress? Are there photos coming with the tattoos gone? Natural is better!

I'm actually talking to surgeons about having the tattoos surgically removed. From what I understand it will be much quicker (as in an hour) to have the whole tattoos removed, instead of having to do 8 to 12 sessions (which ends up taking a year or so to do.) The only con to doing the surgical removal is that I will probably end up scarring up for awhile, but my scars generally go away after a couple months.

If you go ahead Danielle good luck. Personally i don't mind seeing small scars on girls or anyone. I have about 14 scars and it doesn't bother me lol. I occasionally get odd looks but that's about it.:)

I think that's a bit to general. Not all tattoos are icky, and not all clean skin is a turn on. There are tatoos that really can look beautiful, it depends on the design, the place and who wears them. I can imagine that some people have tattoos for the wrong reason, like pressure from the wrong people for example. Or that they wanted a nice one, but the guy doing the tattoo messed it up.
I don't know why Danielle wants to remove them, but that is her decision. And there can be a very good reson for doing so. But what's true for her, doesn't have to be true for everybody. I have two tattoos as well, and to be honest I regret one of those two. But I chose to keep it anyway. To have it removed for me would feel like erasing the proof that I made a mistake. And there is no need for that, I'm only human, and making a mistake every once in a while is normal. That tattoo actually reminds me of that.

Wow...that's intense...but very true if you think about it.

But for me it can be very different. My tattoos are on my arms, I can just put a shirt over them. Yours are on a much more private area, so I can image that that's way different. And as said before, I don't know why you took them in the first place, and why you wish to have them removed now. But both these reasons forever effect the feeling you have about them.
I have two tattoos. I have the Ferrari-horse on my left arm, and the Members of Mayday logo on my right arm. I am a Ferrari-lover, and probably always will be. So that tattoo is fine by me. The Members of Mayday logo was my first one. I knew I wanted a tattoo, but couldn't think of a design. So I just took the logo of the band who's music I listened to in that period of time... Now that band no longer makes music I like, so a part of the feeling I have with it is gone. I still like the design itself though....
A few years ago in Holland it was a trend to have characters from Loony Tunes as a tattoo. Many girls got drunk in the weekend, and woke up with tweety or Taz somewhere on their body. Those kind of non-thought tattoos can haunt you for life, as well as tattoos people took because their partner insisted on it... Those are the wrong reasons if you ask me.

Danielle,
First off, I am a new fan of yours and I have to say, you are gorgeous! I am a big fan of the natural look, minimul makeup, no piercings, and well, you get the idea and as far as I have seen, you have got that look down! You are one of the most beautiful creatures I have ever seen. In fact, I have not seen very many pictures of you and am not a member of your site but I still feel I can honestly say it. And I am not just talking your body, as gorgeous as it is. You have one of the most naturally gorgeous faces too, and those beautiful eyes of yours. Makes me wish I was 13 yrs younger and living in Arizona!
As far as your tatoo removal, I think it is great but I think the one I believe I saw on your back is actually very nice. The one on you lower abdomin I am glad to see go. And reading your bio page, you have removed piercing as well which I can't thank you enough as, in my opinion, detracts greatly from any womans beauty.
I wish you much luck with the removal process and any future endevours you pursue.
Sincerely,
Chris
Seattle, Wa

Honestly I'm still trying to find a doctor/surgeon that can do tattoo excision. Hopefully I can find one next month, so that I can do the surgery during my Spring Break.

Just be careful! I'd imagine that type of procedure could leave you with bad scarring if done incorrectly. Do you plan to have both removed in this way or just the one on your belly? Is it similar to dermabrasion?

That sounds horrible and very painful. The procedure must require a sharp knife to peel off several layers of skin - kind of like peeling an apple or orange. I wish you the best and hope there isn't any scarring.:eek:

Hi Danielle,
I am sure you have already done some research into this process but this might be helpful and not just to you but anyone else here looking into this procedure. Regardless of what any of us say, do what you think is best. No matter what, you are the one who needs to please yourself and do not let anone else sway your mind into doing something you do not want to do.

Best wishes for you and Happy Valentines day!

Just as Danielle's trying to remove HER belly tattoo, a friend of mine just got one this past weekend. I replied back to her with "well, at least the men in your life will have pretty scenery when going down on you!":cool::D:eek:

Well I ended up talking to my tattoo removal technician about it and she pretty much said that nobody does it anymore. I guess that you are red for about a year afterwards when you get it done. So it looks like I will be doing the laser tattoo removal. I know this sounds horrible but I'm thinking about asking my doctor for a prescription of Vicodin or something similar because getting the tattoo on my back lasered is painful.

I would imagine that is a very painful procedure. From what I understand about it the laser burns off the first layer of skin and I don't think it horrible to ask for a rx for pain pills.

Everything I've read on the subject says that the laser method is the most effective, even if it takes a lot longer and is painful. There's a new procedure called Intense Pulsed Light Therapy, which is said to be less painful and more effective. Of course, it's also more expensive (naturally!). You may want to look into that.
Judging from your most recent photos, your tattoos have lightened up a lot when compared to how they looked in your photos from 2007. that proves that the laser is working. Of course, I know you want them gone now, but there doesn't seem to be any viable "quick fix". :(
If the treatments are causing you a lot of pain, there's no shame in asking your doctor for painkillers, that's what they're meant for.
Danielle, my curiosity: the fixed tattoos on the skin are to be removed always ? Or leave the signs for all life?
I see people who have unbelievable tattoos all over his body. Do remove easily?
And how does the skin to withstand many tattoos really dangerous?
Danielle, I would like to know.

Well it kind of depends. On some tattoos when they get laser removed it will leave a "ghost" image which is pretty much a super, super light image of the tattoo. The laser tattoo removal is permanent...but it just takes a long time to do (once every month) and could take up to 15 sessions. So it's not very easy to remove at all...but it's definitely worth it I think. And removing the tattoo isn't dangerous at all...it's just kind of painful and if you are spacey like me you might end up freezing your skin with the air blower thing :D.
