Should I just continue with q switched laser to get rid of the darkened skin colored tattoo?

Manhattan1188
Had paradoxical darkening of skin colored tattoo on chest after Q Switched Laser for removal of brown spots. Told dr. about tattoo and she said don't worry will get lighter. Had tattoo to cover white spots 7 years ago and now am left with blueish/greenish/grayish marks on chest. Should I just continue with q switched laser to get rid of the darkened skin colored tattoo? Am desperate! thanks
