I'm not sure when you got the tattoo, but this can be removed with laser tattoo removal. You'll want to wait until it's healed, 4-6 weeks and it will take a series of treatments. See a laser tattoo removal expert for a formal evaluation. Best, Dr. Emer

Oh no! So sorry that you don't like your new tattoo. Please read the link I've posted about tattoo regret. Not a day goes by in our clinic that we don't see a person experiencing the anxiety that you are feeling. Luckily laser tattoo removal technology as advanced significantly in the last decade that your options for full removal are better than ever. Do your homework and choose a provider in the UK that has nano and picosecond lasers. Good luck!

This tattoo is fairly easy to remove with Pico lasers since it is only black ink tattoo. Picosure and PiQo4 can remove this in 6 treatments. Make sure to choose experienced and board certified provider. Good luck!

As long as your tattoo has fully healed, you can begin the process of removing it. I use the PicoWay laser for best results. Luckily, it looks like your tattoo is mostly black ink, which is easiest to remove. Still, it will take at least four or five sessions with PicoWay, maybe more, to remove it completely. Getting a tattoo can be a compulsive decision; removing one takes time and patience. Please consult a board-certified dermatologist who is expert in tattoo removal to make sure it is done correctly.

This type of tattoo can be removed with good laser technology and an experienced doctor.  It looks like it is mostly black.  The new picosecond 1064 lasers such as the Quanta Prima Pico, Cutera Enlighten and Candela PicoWay and short pulsed nanosecond lasers like the Fotona QX Max and the Quanta Q Plus C are effective in removing this tattoo.  Plan on multiple treatment over a period of months and possibly more than one year to get this tattoo removed.

Steven F. Weiner, MD · Answer

This is a large tattoo but it can be removed with several sessions with a 1064 laser. I would pick a provider that has a 1064 laser with both nano and picosecond laser. The Piqo4 is a great laser for this because it has high power as well.

I'm sorry to hear that you are having tattoo regret.  Luckily with the technology available today, it can be removed.  I would recommend choosing a provider who uses the latest technology available on the market.  The advent of the Q-switched laser has permitted the removal of most tattoo inks with a very low risk of scarring.  Multiple sessions are required with an increase in the removal of the ink each time.
