Comestic Eyebrow Tattooing Removal?

I have spent many hours researching online removal & every method has its pros & cons. I see laser is very successful in removing tattoo, but I am concern about the cons. 1. Laser will kill the hair follicles in my eye brow. 2. I have an iron-oxide ink used for my tattoo and with a laser it can turn black. Any suggestions please?

Cosmetic Eyebrow Tattoo Removal?
