There was a discussion about this in the past at

http://www.realself.com/question/laser-tattoo-removal-lips

The reason is that some inks are actually a blend of several colors, and those containng iron can convert to a black color when treated with the laser.  Because permanent makeup fades over time, my advice to patients is to let it wear off with time.
