after 2 years of having it, i have developped an allergy to the pink ink of my tattoo. ive been using cortisone creams/hypodermal injections to control it but this is not a solution and definately not ideal. ive had it for 3 years now and i want to remove the ink. is it possible to do so with laser, considering its pink? if so which type?
Answer: Tattoo Removal Pink Ink It is possible to remove your tattoo using laser tattoo removal. Black tattoo pigment is the easiest to treat. Other colors, such as pink, are able to be removed using a laser as well and will require the use of a different wavelength. The best way to remove a tattoo is using a Q-Switched laser.

Answer: Ink Allergy You may be reacting either to red pigment or white, as this is likely a compounded color. I have treated many pink tattoos that contained titanium dioxide white, and I have seen hypersensitivity to just about any color.

Answer: Catch-22... Thanks for your question. Unfortunately, you are in a Catch-22 situation. Your body appears to be rejecting the pink ink. It is attacking it and this is its autoimmune response. If you have laser tattoo removal treatments, it will release more ink into your system creating a bigger allergic response. There is no right answer. If you decide to go the laser route, I would suggest treating very small areas at one time to determine how your body will react. Look for a picosecond laser that shoots at 532nm. Alternatively, you could consider tattoo excision, but that will leave a scar. Best of luck.

Answer: Can I remove a pink tattoo? Hello, thank you for your question. Pink ink can possibly be removed with the 532nm wavelength. The 532nm wavelength can usually target pink, orang & red in the color spectrum. Different wavelengths are used to treat different colors. The way the laser rids the body of unwanted ink is, it shatters the ink into tiny particles and your body absorbs those particles. The latest technology in laser tattoo removal is the pico-second technology. The PicoWay Laser (Candela/Syneron) uses photoacoustic
