I got the flowers on my inner arm in April 2018. I hate the placement. It sometimes looks like a bruise. The one on my left shoulder was done in April 2019. It is also has a bad placement since it curves with my shoulder. I want them completely gone as soon as possible. I'm Black so my skin is very tanned/midbrown and may be darker than it appears in photo. What is recommended for me?

Answer: Tattoo removal There are many factors that determine how many treatments are needed to remove a tattoo. Skin type, type of ink used, placement and color of the tattoo are some of the factors that need to be considered when estimating the number of treatments needed. It will be somewhere around 8-10 treatments for the black tattoo and around 10-14 treatments for the colored tattoo. This may be adjusted up or down depending how the ink clears. You should look for a provider that offers pico technology for tattoo removal. Pico technology can break the ink down into smaller particles resulting in better results. In our office we use the Lumenis pico laser which treats several ink colors as well as incorporating pico technology.
