I've read that white ink runs the risk of turning grey/brown/black when it is lasered. Is it true that once it changes colour, it may become impossible to remove? I have attached a photo.

Salabrasion is not a reliable method for tattoo removal. It also carries a high risk of scarring that cannot be minimized. Spreading of ink within the body causing problems, other than allergy, (if you are allergic to the ink) is purely speculative. There has never been a confirmed report...
If the correct laser and setting is used you should not get any skin discoloration.You should go back to your doctor any consider a different type of laser. You would be a great candidate for the Alex Trivantage laser. This laser is the only one on the market that can target colors.
Thank you for posting a photo. I recommend
learning more about the Picosure laser. This new laser will permanently remove
your tattoo without causing any harm to the surrounding tissue. Consult with
your doctor to determine if this is the best option for you.
