Elizabeth F. Rostan, MD answers: What tattoo ink colors are easiest to remove?

Which ink colors are easiest to remove using laser tattoo removal?  Any ink colors that won't come out at all?

Black ink (and shades thereof) is the easiest tattoo color to remove. Colors are more difficult and sometimes may never be completely removed even after numerous treatments. Amateur tattoos that are not done by a professional are the easiest of all tattoos to remove and often resolve with as few as 2 - 3 sessions.
