New Tattoo or Older Tattoo - Which Can Be Lazered Easier??

I searched around and get a bunch of different answers, Which tattoo will be lasered more successfully - a newer tattoo a month old or a tattoo that's years old? I am asking because my tattoo is about a month old and a i deeply regret it. (its all black, mostly shading) will I get effective results?

Tattoo laser removal

Some of the fastest to clear tattoos that I have treated are the new home-made tattoos that are usually more superficially placed than professional tattoos. Older tattoos at times can be more stubborn but there are exceptions.

Tattoo removal: old or new

It depends on the pigment density more than anything as well as the color. Older tattoos tend to have a lower density and sometimes take less total sessions.
