Thank you for your question.No, red ink is not the hardest to remove. Greens and light blues can be the most difficult.Use a laser with 532 wavelength to treat red.

Tattoo removal is possible, but the contoured scar may not improve with the laser, leaving a textural difference in the skin. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles
The tattoo on your wrist would be easily removed with the Picosure laser. It would most likely take between 4-6 treatments about 6 weeks apart. However, the laser treatments can not be preformed while you are on Accutane, and you would need to wait at least 6 months after your last dose before...
