How many sessions should I expect to remove these homemade tattoos? (Photo)

Homemade tattoos are the easiest to remove, you could be lucky and need as few as 3 sessions. Black in generally comes out much faster then any color and if they were applied with a needle and not a guy, the deposition should be fairly superficial. An Nd:Yag laser is exactly what you need. Good luck!!

It will still take a series, between 3-6, treatments to remove this. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a laser tattoo removal expert to get a time-frame. Best, Dr. Emer

The tattoo can easily be removed completely. The Nd:YAG laser may take 8- 15+ treatments. The PicoSure laser on the other hand targets black ink and that "homemade" tattoo can be removed with 3-6 treatments. Sessions are 6 weeks apart. Try to find a doctor with a Pico laser if possible.

Thank you for your question! This should be fairly easy to remove. Any newer laser will deliver you great results if removal is done by an expert.  Best of luck! 

This should be fairly easy to remove. Any newer laser will deliver you great results if removal is done by an expert. We use Picosure laser and it is great. It removes tattoos in fever number of treatments and minimizes the chance of complications. Good luck! 

With the right laser, it should only take around 4 treatments as your tattoos look pretty light. I would get a consultation with a laser tattoo removal Doctor in person. Hope that helps!

These should be fairly easy to remove with a good laser. I like the Piqo4 because of its power. It should be about 4 sessions or less. The Piqo4 has both pico and nanosecond pulses and the 1064 wavelength to target black inks. Picosure is not the best at black inks, but the best for green inks.

Since these were placed by you and were not layered over and over by a tattoo artist, the ink should go away quicker and probably within a few sessions.  Pico technology clears the ink well.  I would consider removing the tattoo with a pico generation of laser.  This should take a few sessions a few months apart so can take several months to a year for the tattoo to go away completely. 

Ammiture tattoos made with poor quality ink are generally very laser sensitive. The Q switched yag is what I would use. Make sure it is Q switched not long pulse YAG as you would use for hair, pigments, veins etc.

I find tattoos like this take 1-3 sessions to remove.
