How can you tell if the ink is deep? (Photo)

Question

Does the fact that the ink kind of spreads around means that the tattoo is deep ? Will this be though to get rid of with picoway ?

Thank you for your question! The fact that this is an older tattoo, may actually help with faster removal with tattoo removal lasers with the Picoway. It may actually be easier to get rid of, than a younger, fresher tattoo. It usually takes multiple months for the tattoo to go away.

Older tattoos tend to have this look - of some bleeding of ink in some areas. The fact that this is an older tattoo, may actually help with faster removal with tattoo removal lasers with the Picoway. It may actually be easier to get rid of, than a younger, fresher tattoo.

THe ink bleeding does not really tell me the depth. It looks like it is not very new which help removal.  We use the Picoway laser that shatters the ink and breaks it into small particles that your body can remove.  It usually takes multiple months for the tattoo to go away.
