I got this tattoo today and it wasn't what I wanted. It's bigger than I wanted and I honestly just hate it. It is just a solid black about 40mm high X 30mm wide. Would love some suggestions!

Answer: Treatment of Black Tattoo 1064nm wavenlength would work best - either the older nanosecond or the newer picosecond technology. The newer picosecond technology results in more efficient treatment so number of treatment sessions needed is cut in half compared to nanosecond lasers. There are several picosecond lasers available. Consult with an experienced and board-certified cosmetic physician.

Answer: What's the best way to remove solid black fresh tattoo? Hello, thank you for your question and for including photos. Laser removal of unwanted ink can be very successful. You will definitely need to wait until the tattoo is completely healed, 4-6 weeks. The latest technology in laser tattoo removal is the pico-second technology. The PicoWay Laser (Candela/Syneron) uses photoacoustic impact/pressure waves rather than photothermal/heat. This process has less heat, therefore it is more comfortable and the chances of hyperpigmentation are less. The Pico-second pulse shatters the ink into even smaller particles, allowing the body to more easily absorb the ink. This type of device can usually remove unwanted ink in about half as many treatments as the traditional Q-switch devices. You can click on the web link below and put in your zip code to find a provider in your area of this device.Good Luck!
