I've had a few sessions with the standard nd:YAG 1064 nm laser, and was wondering how efficient the Enlighten laser would be for a black ink tattoo? Are there any added benefits of this laser? I know that the Enlighten has a 1064 nm wavelength as well, but am curious to know if it is more effective in this laser?

Both of these lasers are effective in removing tattoos. However, the Enlighten has an additional nanosecond technology that allows better tattoo removal results.
I have had great success with the Enlighten device to treat red tattoo ink specifically and other colors in general. More importantly, I would suggest you make sure you feel comfortable with the doctor's training and expertise in the procedure as that matters just as much as which device is used.
