What is the best method of cosmetic tattoo removal?

I had my eyebrows tattooed over 12 years ago and the technician tattooed them in black, which faded to a Greyish-green color. My skin is a light tan, naturally. I am looking to get the tattoo removed with a laser that does not kill the hair follicle. I have some existing eyebrow hair and would like to keep it. What should I be looking for in terms of treatment? Is there a specific machine or laser or method that sounds like it would help me?
