Over time, many seek tattoo removal due to regret, poor quality art, or lifestyle changes. Traditional tattoos with multi-color are the most challenging to remove completely.
Tattoo Removal
Tattoos that once seemed like a good idea may become less desirable over time leading many to seek removal. The most common reasons are:
- Regret over the tattoo choice, location, or poor quality of the art
- A change in lifestyle like career or relationships making the tattoo inappropriate
- Faded, blurred tattoos that need freshening up
- New tattoos planned requiring existing ink removal
Traditional tattoos using green or red pigments are the most difficult to remove completely. Colored tattoo generally requires many more laser sessions than pure black ink tattoo.
Tattoos using lower quality ink may also react poorly in removal. Cover up tattoos also present challenges with multiple pigment layers.
