Will ghost tattoo lines go away? (photo)

I just got done with my 7th removal session today and when they were applying the topical steroid, I noticed white lines where the tattoo used to be.. the girl said that they were caused from the tattoo needle, not the removal from the laser. I am just wondering if they will go away :( I miss my naked skin.
