Asked By:ruma1712 in Germany, DE

Hello, Im from germany I have a chest tattoo removed for two years now. The color contains a lot of purple and some light blue. First I had the tattoo removed with the nd yag laser and q switched laser. Now with Picoway. During the last two treatments I noticed that the color became darker instead of lighter. It's annoying because the tattoo was already very bright and didn't have much color anymore. My question is, how should I continue?Im afraid that it can't get any brighter. Is that normal?
