Q-Switch vs Pico on initial stages of tattoo removal?

nonsash
I recently did an upper and tattoo in black ink and tribal style. The next day I realized that I want to have it removed. I know I need to wait at least 6 weeks but I heard at a few places that it is best to start with QSwitch and then use Pico. Does this make sense or will I get better results if I start with Pico right away?
