How to remove a cosmetic tattoo in case of allergic reaction?

realselfmember85
A few years ago I got my eyeliner and eyebrow makeup tattooed by a pro licensed cosmetic tattoo artist. Since, I've come across news stories about women who had "delayed" allergic reactions to their tattoos. Sudden, and up to 20 years after! My eye doctor warned that though laser removal makes it invisible, all it really does is shatter the pigment and bury it even deeper into the skin. Is there anything that will safely, thoroughly remove all the pigment? Thank you in advance for your help!!
