I got this tat back in the early 90’s. I’ve had about 5 laser treatments to remove it. This tat was real dark and included a lot of blacks, reds, etc. My last treatment was about 4 to 5 years ago. After my last treatment, not much color was removed.
As you can see, there is mainly blue and green remaining.
I was curious if laser technology has changed any in the last 4 to 5 years to where the blues and greens can be removed? If so, what kind of laser should I look for?
Thanks for the help!!

Hi Dk
Lasers have made some large improvements with tattoo removal – that said they still struggle with green as a colour.
As for the type it really depends on your skin type. country you are in and how much you are willing to spend.
The tattoo would easily cover over now with a decent tattoo and might be a much cheaper option as you maybe looking at another 5-8 sessions on that.

Hi
Just to clarify it really depends on the skin, pigment and what is contained within the inks.
Some black inks have heavy metal compounds that are a bastard to breakdown so take major treatments. It also depends on the type of laser used , frequency and how bothered about scarring you are.
I have know ppl have a tattoo taken in 8 sessions and others in 20 sessions.
My advice is always – speak to a professional dermatologist or similar medical professional about tattoo removal – it is not an exact science and everybody is different.
