Removing tattoos on the skin is becoming increasingly more effective based on the laser wavelengths available for treatment.  Each laser wavelenghth works on one or two colors and the technology has improved considerably over the last two years.

One option would be to decrease the easier black areas first and then move on to the more difficult red, yellow, and green colors.

Multiple treatments are needed.
