Laser Tattoo Removal for Lips?

marciajones
I have a cosmetic lip liner tattoo around my lips and want it off because it looks hideous. I was wondering if laser resurfacing is the way to go... YAG, etc... what other lasers are used for tattoo removal? If laser resurfacing is not the way to go, please tell me why.
