I have a fresh tattoo that didn't come out the way I had hoped. Matter of fact, it was done yesterday and I feel quite distraught about it.It is about 5 or 6 inches above my ankle bone and is a sun with a black center and orange/red flames. I did it to cover up a very old and tiny tattoo and wound up unhappy.How hard would Tattoo removal be and how long do I have to wait to get started since it was just done?Thank you, Tracey
Answer: New Tattoo - How soon on Removal Hello, Your skin needs to fully heal prior to getting started on laser tattoo removal (6-8 weeks is usually sufficient). Newer tattoos are usually thicker ink as they have not had time to fade like a 3-5 year old tattoo would. So, expect to have to do more treatments to get it going. Also, waiting longer in between treatments can be beneficial when using a PicoWay laser as it will break up more ink and need more time for a good clearing. An experience tattoo removal medical professional will be able to estimate how many treatments you might need and give you advice on wait time.

Answer: 1 1/2 - 2 Months is what I recommend I usually recommend to wait between 1.5 - 2 months before removing the tattoo. The Tattooed area has to0 be completely healed before doing anything to it.
