I Have a Few Questions About the Lazer Removal of a Tattoo? (photo)

my questions are: will my age be a factor in the removal as my skin is still young? (im 19) will the thin black lines in this tattoo break up faster as there alone compared to compact block of ink? i can still feel the ink under my skin dos this mean its a professional tattoo and will take longer? because it is a new tattoo will it take longer to remove? once its faded alot will i be able to tattoo over it before it is completely removed? how many sessions might i need? thanks in advance.

Black tattoos usually respond well to laser treatment. The tattoo is quite dark so it will require many treatment sessions for maximal lightening (at least five, likely ten or more). Yes, you can apply another tattoo over the first one once it has gotten lighter. In this case, you would not require as many treatment sessions, if your goal is just to lighten it. I don't think that your age will make any difference. If you can feel the ink, there might be some scarring... more
