Hello everyone, When I was 15 I made the irrational decision of getting a large tattoo. A year later, the ink faded to a weird colour so i opted to get it re-inked again! Being 21 now, I don't hate the tattoo but its not what I would have done had I waited till I was older. I was considering laser removal but have been told repeatedly that due to my brown skin, it would not completely remove it and if it did, it would leave a white 'ghost'. I have also considered excision. Your opinion is highly valued.

Answer: Tattoo removal on dark skin This is best treated with a 1064 laser because of its color and your skin type. I agree that the Piqo4 is the best laser for you because it is both pico and nano second and has the 1064 laser. I would not excise this, the scar will be much worse than the tattoo.

Answer: Tattoo Removal Thank you for your question. It is possible to treat medium to darker skin types with laser tattoo removal. Pico lasers are the most advanced technology. I utilize the PiQo4 laser which has 4 Pico wavelengths making it possible to remove 96% of ink in as little as 4-6 treatments on average. Tattoos are removed faster and safer with Pico lasers and there is less risk of scarring. It is important not only to seek the best technology but an experienced laser tattoo removal provider who has experience in treating different skin types. I have been practicing laser tattoo removal for almost 20 years.
