Tattoo removal; help

I had a patch test this week. Literally 2 zaps and holy fuck it was sore. Lady reckons 3 minutes with the laser on Wednesday next week for treatment 1 of 8.

Help me find 3 min of distraction from the ouch.

Disclaimer: I fully acknowledge my naivety in getting said tattoo.

I found the longer it went on for the less painful it got. Once you know what to expect it gets easier x

Take pin killers before you go - not after

I second PP, it hurt like hell at the start but much like getting a tattoo, the skin sort of numbs itself the longer it goes on and it's not that painful all the way through!
