Oxidisation- is it likely? I need it gone! (photos)

Question

Hi I currently can't have a patch test due to pregnancy. This leaves me very anxious as I hate this bright and prominent tattoo. The ink brand is intenze. Is this ink likely to darken with laser treatment? Removing this huge red flower is my main concern as I cover it with makeup everyday and really struggle with my appearance now. Thanks for any responses!

Based on your photo, it looks as if your best bet is going to be laser tattoo removal. The PicoSure laser is currently the best on the market working 3x faster than all other lasers. It's also ideal for all skin types and tattoo colors. I would try to find a practitioner that has the PicoSure device and schedule a consultation.
My best,

The only way to tell how this will react is to test spot to small section of tattoo. White ink or brown ink are the tattoo inks that may darken with laser.
