What is the best laser to remove red ink tattoo and how many sessions should I expect? (photo)

Asked By:briellebinding in New York, NY

I have two tattoos I want to get rid of, but the red lips on my butt are more of a priority right now. I have read so many different things on line about the different lasers to use and wanted to get a more reputable answer. I got my matching tattoo with my best friend 5 years ago and have wanted it gone for 4. The one on my back has been there a little longer than the butt and it was done terribly and has faded a lot.
