Can I Re-tattoo over a Laser-Removed Tattoo?

once the tattoo you don't like is removed with laser, you may, once the inflammation calms down, have a different tattoo placed. The risk of scarring should be the same whether you had a previous tattoo or not.

Absolutely you can tattoo over a previously-lasered tattoo.  In fact laser tattoo removal is often used to lighten up unwanted tattoos for better cover-up.  Of course you must be careful to not cause too much scar tissue in the removal process since scars don't take up ink as well as normal skin.  To avoid excessive scarring, I would recommend seeking out a professional with the latest laser technology like a pico-second laser.  Best of luck!

Hello, You can absolutely re-tattoo the same area once laser removal is complete and you have let you skin rest for 3-4 months. Scarring should not be an issue with laser tattoo removal if using a PicoWay Laser. The only scarring you should see is if you have certain colors in your ink or if you already have scarring from when you got the tattoo.

Thank you for your question. Yes, you can have laser tattoo removal to remove the remaining ink over scar tissue. I recommend having treatment with the Picosure laser as it is effective in removing 70-90% of a tattoo and works best on dark colors. I recommend having a consultation with an expert to determine the best treatment plan for you. Best of Luck!

Depending on the tattoo artist and their level of expertise, they may have caused a scar during the tattoo, which should be determined during your consultation. You gave up perfect skin when you got the tattoo unfortunately. With that being said most patients have no problem with tattooing over the removal or having perfect healthy skin.
