I am on my 2nd treatment of a large (6X12) multi color tattoo on my back between my shoulders - I have documented it on this site. If yours is all black, and lots of shading, you will have good results based on what I have researched, and I have spent hours and called and spoken with tons of experts. It will take a long time, expect 2-3 years and the pain is tolerable, if you hate it, get rid of it no matter what the cost. I pay arox $166 per treatment, but would normally be $300 - i pay less cuz i got a package deal I commited to, hope I did the right thing, but I feel I did. Best of luck to you.

Yes you should be able to!  You just need to find a good and affordable laser person.  :/
