Then I got the implant removed to see if either process had damaged the surface (which would allow for biofouling). Unfortunately I have yet to replace my microscope which broke, but visual inspection it looks in pretty good shape.
I tried it on the Schott VivoTag glass that I have around and it fuckin toasted it. No hope of glass sealing with a q-switched pulse laser. Need a continuous wave laser like the CO2 one merlin is using.
Dude you’ve got that dialed waaaay too high… like waaay too high. The bit of skin where it hit you outside the tattoo and still blasted a hole in your skin… yeah that’s not supposed to happen at all. It’s supposed to only be just enough power to blanch the dark tattoo ink, and after a few passes it should be treated… this was like blasting new shale off a pit mine wall hahah
Oh yeah I know I did it on purpose to try and damage the implant. After this video was shot I turned it down from 2000mJ to 500mJ and did a sustained barrage for like 2 minutes. It’s all for fun sometimes you have to make tiny fireballs with a comparable temperature to the surface of the sun on your skin for science mate.
