I got a huge very dense black tattoo on one half of my back. I just can't get used to it. What is the best option?

Yes, this can be removed with laser tattoo removal. It will take a series of treatments. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a laser tattoo removal expert. If it's new, you'll want to wait until it's competely healed (around 4-6 weeks) Best, Dr. Emer

Your tattoo will respond well to the high-powered energy of the PicoWay laser. PicoWay targets pigment layer by layer, shattering it into tiny pieces that your body then processes and excretes. You need to wait at least two months after getting the tattoo before you can begin the removal process. It will take many sessions, at least five, to completely fade the tattoo. Over those months, you may find you like the tattoo as long as the color is more faded. If so, stop there. If not, proceed until you’re back to bare skin. A board-certified dermatologist who’s trained with PicoWay for tattoo removal can help you.
