How does the PicoSure laser do with removing all colours?

Question

I got this tattoo 2 days ago to add to the previous one hoping it would make it pop a bit more. I liked the design but once it was on the skin it just didn't feel right at all, I feel like I've ruined the previous one and with all these different colors, I just don't know if it's removable, or if it's just going to make everything worse. It just has to go, my mind can't take it. I'm looking to remove the five really bold flowers and leave the paw, the big flower and the lettering if possible.

Thank you for your question and photograph. Yes,
there are chances for this tattoo to respond to laser treatments but the colors
of your tattoo are more difficult to remove. Picosure laser is a good option to
have this tattoo removed as it is safe and effective and there is a low risk of
scarring. However, you will have to wait till the tattoo is completely healed
in 4-6 weeks before having it removed. This treatment works best on dark inks
like black and dark blue which gives you an effective permanent result. However, some touch up may be required after the removal.  I recommend you see an expert in order to
determine the best treatment plan for you. All the best!

Thank you for your photo. The key to tattoo removal is patience. The PicoSure laser is has been developed and approved for tattoo ink removal, acne scars and any other blemishes you dislike. The PicoSure is FDA-approved and highly effective for removing regrettable tattoos and scars. For more information, I recommend getting a in person consultation from a board-certified dermatologist.

The picosure will cut the number of treatments you need in half.  it is definitely the best laser for dark colors especially blacks and blues (almost no other laser can work on blues). depending on which other lasers are present in the office or which attachments they have with the picosure, they may have some challenges with the red and orange colors. you cannot treat a new tattoo this early though. you need to wait several months before starting treatment.david berman md

Yellow is not touched by the older Qswtched lasers.  However, I have been pleasantly surprised that the PicoSure seems to slowly remove yellow. Not as convinced with flesh color and white.  This is a very impressive laser.  I am glad I bought it.  Shortens treatment times about 50%.  Check out the work in progress attached.  No other laser can do this so quickly and completely as far as I know.
