When doing hair removal, any tattoos within any proximity to the area being treated is either covered with a white towel or gauze and a white pencil is used to mark a guideline as well. If you have a tattoo directly in the area of the hair removal, say you are doing legs and have a leg tattoo, the area where the tattoo is will not be able to be treated.
Hello, when performing laser hair removal it is important to keep the laser one to two inches away from a tattoo in order to prevent any traveling heat to reach the tattoo. Lasering over a tattoo can cause severe burns and damage to the tattoo.
Light energy can destroy pigments and this will include skin tattoos. This usually results in fading and blurring on the edges of a tattoo if not protected. Complete coverage of the area can reduce the risk but some light energy can proceed laterally underneath some types of protection. An experienced provider can usually preserve any tattoo or beauty mark that is wished to be preserved. Inexperienced providers sometimes learn this the hard way. Talk to the provider about their own experiences and request a sample spot treatment area to make sure that you get the results you desire without risking any skin designs.Hope that helps
