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

Removing a brand new tattoo is generally easier and requires fewer treatments than an older one. You should wait for your skin to totally heal (4-8 weeks) then begin treatments right away. In brand new tattoos it takes a while for the ink to completely settle into the dermis, so it is more easily picked up by the laser.

Dear cpf97, 
Thank you for your question. I'm sorry to hear you do not like your new tattoo. the good news is that Laser works really well in removing them. You will need to wait 4-6 weeks until the area is fully healed. Generally newer tattoos are more easily removed, however it will be dependent on the type of ink used. 
Wishing you all the best

Thank you for your question in regards to Tattoo removal. It is recommended to wait until your new tattoo is completely healed before starting laser tattoo removal treatments. To be sure what is best for you, see two or more board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have treatment. I hope this helps.

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
