Can I get a small tattoo lasered off after having received Kidney Transplant?

Claire Yates
I have a small faded tattoo on my finger and want it removed, the clinic has says the laser zaps the ink which then goes to the blood and out through the kidneys, will this be safe for me considering I have had a kidney transplant three years ago?
