Thank you for your question in regards to tattoo removal. Yes, it is safe to remove tattoos on the majority of your body excluding the eyes for safety purposes. To be sure what is best for you, see two or more board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have treatment. I hope this helps.

The PicoWay laser can remove the tattoos on your nipples safely. It will take at least 5 to 8 sessions. PicoWay works on most colors. A board-certified dermatologist who is an expert in removing tattoos with PicoWay will be able to fade your tattoos over the next year or so.

Thanks for your question.  You can have tattoo removal on almost any body part.  We only avoid areas too close to your eyes.  These tattoos had to be uncomfortable to be up on.  They won't be much better to take off.  To minimize the number of treatments or complications, use a picosecond laser.  Since this will be uncomfotable, I would recommend waiting 3 to 6 months between treatments and let your body do the work.  Best of luck.
