I gave the tattoo removal a whole month to heal because I kinda overdid it while learning and the top few layers of skin fell clean off. I think I’m being better at it, but I honestly don’t know.

Lol I was just informed that I’ve probably been doing it wrong this whole, it should be much closer to the skin

Hah that’s what that metal standoff ring is for… focal length. I just thought you were “experimenting”

Well the focal length was where I was holding it because I wanted max power. The metal standoff is about a third of the focal length, but that’s fine for tattoo removal because the laser is more than strong enough to break apart ink even with a diffuse beam. My knowledge of how lasers work actually overrode my common sense. It was fun to watch me ablate myself vigorously for a bit though.

yep exactly… it’s supposed to form a point on the skin like 2mm-3mm in diameter… diffuse the power a bit.
Zappies!
