Laser tattoo removal. Would it be better to use PicoSure or Nd:YAG?

lhorbus
I have a large Japanese black and grey tattoo recently done on my forearm (taking up pretty much all off it). There is a lot a line work and shading involved. To be honest the more i look into it the more complicated i seem to find the situation. I have been looking into tattoo removal using laser treatment. Would it be best to us a picosure treatment or a Nd:YAG laser? I have no colour in the tattoo just alot of black and line work?
