I have a tattoo on my left arm, back and chest. The tattoo is just black lines and I want to remove my body hair with laser but I can't because of the tattoo so I was wondering if I could remove the tattoo do the laser hair removal then make the tattoo again.
Answer: This is not a great idea since it will require a lot of time and money Thank you for your question! This is not a great idea since it will require a lot of time and money, but it will not yield permanent results. Let’s say that you will need 6 treatments with Picosure to remove your tattoo which will take about 7 to 10 months, depending how your provider spaces out the treatments. Afterwards you would have to wait for your skin to heal. Then you would start your hair removal process which would probably take few months as well. Laser hair removal is not permanent so you will eventually need touchups. If you have your tattoo done again, you will not be able to do touchups and your hair will regrow, not in the same consistency though. Maybe you can look into getting laser removal done avoiding your tattoo area. To discuss your options I suggest you to make an appointment with experienced provider. Best of luck!
