My Tattoo Does Not Fade?

I had it done some 2 months ago... So it is fresh and black on my upper back and size is kind a 5x5 cm. So i went to laser threatment 1 month ago and i had my first threatment. Some days it was lighter but then it kinda went back to its right color. Few days ago i had my second threatment and it did same effect. It showd massive breakup and lighter areas and then it went back to its right color, wich is black. I go there 10 times, i payd for it, but what can be a problem? or is it normal?
