Is Getting A Tattoo Removed With The Picosure Laser More Painful Than Using The Q-Switch Laser?

I have a small hip tattoo that I want to get rid of, but am nervous about the pain of the tattoo removal process. I've heard that the Picosure laser is getting much better results than the traditional Q-Switch laser, but was wondering if the faster pulses make it a more painful treatment?
