Good luck with your tattoo removal. The Lutronic spectra is a great laser to treat tattoo with.

If you go to a dermatologist be very diligent in asking him/her questions. How much tattoo removal do they do? What laser do they use? Do they own the laser or rent it. Who performs the treatments and what are their qualifications and experience. DO NOT get treated with anything but a Q switched nd:YAG laser. It's the only one that's safe on darker skin types. Red and black are not a challenge. Lastly, I would recommend lasers that have at least 1 joule. And a spot size of 6mm and a repetition rate of 6-10 More is better on all these measures. Hope that helps
