Are red ink tattoos impossible to completely remove? (photo)

Great question.  Thank you for contributing.  I am sorry you regret your tattoo with black and red colors.  Although the red is more difficult to remove, the good news is that it can definitely be removed. 
Our office specializes in laser tattoo removal.  
We use the Alex Trivantage laser which is an excellent option for your black, orange and red tattoo.  The black ink can be removed precisely with the Q Switched 755nm or Q Switched 1064nm laser. The Alex Trivantage laser also converts the 1064 nm wavelength to a 532 nm wavelength via a process known as harmonic doubling with a potassium titanium phosphate (KTP) crystal.  This Q switched 532 nm wavelength is designed to precisely target orange and red tattoo and we get excellent results with this laser.  
If you would like to learn more about the procedure I recommend an in person consultation with a board certified dermatologist with cosmetic training.
Wishing you well.

Not impossible. The number of treatments will not be predictable till you start treatment.  This is a harder color to remove, but not impossible. See an expert.  Best, Dr. Emer.

The question is, is red ink in a tattoo impossible to remove. With a laser, it may be. Lasers break up the pigment which is then distributed throughout your lymphatic system and liver. Incidentally, it is believed that red ink can be carcinogenic.

The most effective way to remove red ink or for that matter any ink is with the GoTattless system. This actually extracts the ink out of the body. This will take sometimes 4 to 5 treatments, but it is effective. 



My suggestion is to find a GoTattless representative in your area. Best of luck to you.
