Is it better to remove a fresh tattoo or an old one?

It is easier to remove a fresh tattoo than an older one, but you will have to wait until your skin has healed before you can begin treatments. Smaller tattoos like yours take much less time to remove, so you can expect to only need a few sessions.

You would need to let the tattoo heal before removing, which could take 4-6 weeks. It will take a series of treatments. See a laser tattoo removal expert for a formal evaluation. Best, Dr. Emer
