Having a permanent tattoo that is unwanted and unappreciated is in itself frustrating. Permanent tattoo removal is treatable in the eyebrow area especially. Black color is the easiest to remove although it can take several treatments to achieve benefits expected.
Removal of two-color eyebrow tattoo
I had eyebrow tattoos last year, but I hated them right after I got them. I want to have it removed, but my doctor told me it's not possible because he used two different colors to get the brownish tone. Can Laser Tattoo Removal remove it, and if so, what kind of laser?

Hi.. ive had my brows done several times in differing shades....the last treatment i had done went off tone slightly to a bluish colour..i had to wait six months for the tattoo to settle before the laser treatment..ive since had the laser done and it is fading the tattoo...it initially turned it blue due to the pigments used..but this does fade..the laser used was a ruby one set at 7.3. i hope this helps..so i would definatly say that even with several pigments within the tattoo it can be dealt with laser..even if more than one laser is to be used..a combination of the yag laser and ruby will get rid of most colours..butive been pleased with the ruby laser..and ive got at least four diffrent colours that had been mixed to make the various browns ive had over the years..i hope this helps..

Most cosmetic tattoos (as apposed to "decorative" tattoos) are metallic based. Lasers will not remove these tattoos, but will turn them an awful grey color. The best thing to do is to live with your tattoo until it fades, which may take a few years... but they will eventually fade. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but cosmetic tattoos aree a real problem once they're placed. Eric Berger MD

Although it is true that many cosmetic tattoo inks are metallic based, they are often very easy to remove...with the right laser. A "test spot" (treating a small part of the tattoo) is a simple way to see how your tattoo will respond to the laser treatment. If you really hate the tattoos, and you don't want to wait 10 years for the ink to fade, a test spot is likely worth a try! I hope this helps (and gives you a little hope!)...
