I'm from Riga (Latvia). 1 month ago a made my tattoo. It was a mistake. I would like to remove it. Ink - black. In Baltic States we have only Q-Switched lasers. The fastest, effectively, safety way to remove tattoo will be with PicoSure (PicoWay, PicoSecond) laser or it will be not big difference if I will remove tattoo with Q switched laser?
