Session one, complete. I can definitely say that the main differences between getting a tattoo and getting one removed are these:
1) It is much, much quicker to have a tattoo removed (per session) then getting one.
2) If getting a tattoo sort of feels like being superficially cut with a knife, then getting a tattoo removed feels like being superficially cut with a hot knife.
The whole concept is pretty neat. The laser can be on, and if it's not on an ink that it's targeting, you don't even feel it. But as soon as it gets close, you start hearing a popping sound, and feel the laser going to town on the pigment. Anywhere the laser targets the ink, it turns white. This is, I'm told, moisture in the skin being evaporated. I know the picture isn't the greatest, it was taken with my iPhone. But the areas I had treated look (and feel) pretty gnarly today.
I can't wait to see what happens after this first session :)
