How Many Treatments Will It Take to Get Rid of a New Tattoo on my Neck and It is All Black
I have got a new tattoo on my neck and I would like to know if anyone has had a new tattoo removed by laser and how many treatments might it take as read lots of different things like black is the easiest colour to remove and also as tattoo is size of a bank card would that matter and the place on my body. Does the neck respond well to treatment as well. Thank you.

Number of Laser Tattoo Removal Treatments Needed
The number of laser tattoo removal treatments depends on several parameters. One of these includes Fitzpatrick skin type.
Some people think of this categorization system as labeling how dark someone's skin is. But it also describes how easily a person's skin tans. This depends on the level of melanin. The darker your skin tone is, the longer it will take to remove your tattoo.

Black is usually a good color to treat, but it depends on which ink or mixture of inks was used [some inks respond better to laser than others], and it depends on the density of ink [if there is so much ink that you can feel the thickness of the tattoo when you run your finger over it, you will need more treatments than a thinner tattoo.]
The number of treatments you need will depend on how long you wait between treatments -- the longer...
