I Have a Large Black Half Sleeve Tattoo I Am Looking into for Laser Removal
My sleeve goes from wrist to elbow, wrist part is a partial cover up. I have a few laser techs look at it in Portland Oregon and a few tattoo artists and they seem to think there is white ink mixed in with the black in the whole tattoo. Am I not going to be able to remove my tattoo? I have heard it will laser will not remove the white ink, also that it will keep the black from coming out. 60% of the work is only a few months old. All recommendations please! I want answers! Thank you
