A woman with a full face tattoo whose picture went viral has shocked the Internet with a reverse image

A woman whose photos went viral because her face was heavily covered in tattoos, is now undergoing grueling laser therapy to remove all of her tattoos, hoping that this way she can forget the ex-boyfriend she was arrested with and everything that went with it. 

Alyssa Zebraski decided to get a Day of the Dead tattoo on her face four years ago when she was in a relationship with her now ex-partner, who also had tattoos on his face. 

After two visits to a tattoo artist, the Cleveland, Ohio, woman first got a spider web on her forehead and then black shadows around her eyes, nose, cheeks, and lips. 

Alyssa was reported to the police three times in six months, including one incident with her ex, which led to a brief police chase. 

But after the girl went through drug treatment and rehab, Alyssa decided to change her life entirely and began hiding her tattoos under a thick layer of makeup in every possible way. 

Determined to get rid of her tattoos for good, Alyssa is currently undergoing a laser removal procedure at The INK-initiative charity in Austin, Texas. 

With the support of her family and her new boyfriend, with whom she is finally having the typical, healthy beginnings of her life, Alyssa shows off the entire process of removing tattoos from her face on her social media accounts. 

Alyssa tells us that when she revisits her pictures from her past life, it makes her very upset, and she wants to get rid of all those things that connect her to her past life as soon as possible.  

But it also reminds her of how she treated herself when she didn’t work on herself and didn’t love herself the way she does now. 

Now she’s glad she finally decided to make this change, and when she compares herself to who she was in her past life, she’s happy with how she was able to deal with all that history and start a whole new life. 

Despite the tattoos that she has all over her body, Alyssa only wants to remove the ones on her face and arms because they remind her of her ex-boyfriend and the problematic relationship she had to endure. 

The girl said that when they started dating, her boyfriend told her to get tattoos on her face, Alyssa said nothing back then, but now she understands that her boyfriend proposed it to her to make other men not pay attention to her.  

The tattoo sketch he chose was a Day of the Dead sugar skull that was supposed to cover the girl’s entire face. 

Alyssa’s ex-boyfriend was also completely tattooed and thought they should look identical. 

Alyssa got the tattoo in two visits to a tattoo artist in June 2018. 

After pictures of her began appearing online and there were a lot of judgmental comments underneath, Alyssa decided to remove all of her facial tattoos. 

«My picture went viral. I was being posted on social media, everyone was saying nasty things about me, and I couldn’t even say anything back,» she said. 

When the girl was in jail, her boyfriend visited her only twice. 

After that, Alyssa went through drug court, went to rehab, and changed. 

The girl started getting her tattoos removed in October 2019 when she was told it would take twelve sessions. So the girl had to go to the master quite often, as in one session, the master would only remove a small portion of the entire tattoo. 

Each session lasts about twenty minutes; the removal is much faster than the tattoo. 

At first, the pain from the laser is like the pop of a rubber band on the skin, and then another thirty minutes of pain in the area that was done.

«After the laser, the pain spreads all over the body. It’s like when you spill hot oil on your hand, and that’s how I can describe the sensation on your hands. The pain on my face is not as bad, but there is swelling.»

After removing the tattoos from her face, Alyssa says she now loves her face and hopes her experience will help people in the same situation. 

The girl said that she used to hide her face from her family, but now she doesn’t need to because her relatives support her in every way and help her overcome all difficulties. The girl’s family understands how important their support is for her. 

Now Alyssa has been dating her boyfriend for almost ten months; the couple has a warm relationship. 

The girl actively participates in social networks and tries to help everyone in the same situation as she is. Whether it is connected with drug addiction or just any position she needs help to get out of is unimportant to her.
