One year ago, Healthline newsletter editor Morgan Mandriota decided it was time to start fresh.
In a candid Wellness Wire update, she shared her experience after 12 sessions of laser tattoo removal with Removery. Her large, dark half-sleeve—featuring a birdhouse, flowers, berries, and a bold blacked-out background—had caused her stress and anxiety since the day she got it.
Now, a year into treatment, she’s seeing dramatic results—and she couldn’t be happier.
Since May 2024, Morgan has been visiting a New York Tattoo Removal Studio every five weeks, alternating between the two halves of her arm to keep her skin safe and healthy.
Progress was slow at first, but by her third full treatment, the ink began to noticeably break down—and today the changes are unmistakable:
“It’s amazing to watch this thing that caused me so much stress and anxiety fade away. It’s really cool to witness the science behind this process in action.”
While tattoo removal isn’t pain-free, Morgan noticed her treatments became less painful as the ink faded because there is simply less pigment left to break apart during each session.
“Apparently, the intensity of the treatment pain correlates with how much ink is exploding under your skin upon laser impact.”
Morgan still has another year of treatments before reaching her goal of full removal. With her confidence growing alongside her fading tattoo, she’s excited for the future—and is even considering getting a new tattoo in the same spot with a more thoughtful design.
“As time goes on and my tattoo fades, I feel more and more confident when I look in the mirror, which is a huge gift.”
