Thank you for your question in regards to tattoo removal. Shading of a tattoo responses very well with laser tattoo removal and typically does not require very many treatments. Although, some areas of the tattoo that you would like to keep may require a touch up. To be sure what is best for you, see two or more board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have treatment. I hope this helps.
Thank you for your question. Yes, you can have the shading of your tattoo removed, but you may need to do a touch up to re-define the lines later. It typically takes fewer sessions to remove shading than to remove a full inked tattoo. I recommend having a consultation with an expert to determine the best treatment plan for you. Best of Luck!

Pico is the best approach to removing tattoos at this point. There is less thermal injury and it allows for faster recovery. We use a combination of techniques in my office for best results. Best Anil Shah
White ink can be a challenge to remove, but tattoos should be removed with q switched or pico lasers. It will take a series of treatments. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a laser tattoo removal expert. Best, Dr. Emer
