Scalp Micropigmentation and removing tattoo ink from the scalp by Laser, is this safe?

brummygirl
I have recently completed a course in scalp micropigmentation. One of the procedures involves shading the scalp with pigment. We were told that should the client want it removed, or go completely bald, a laser could remove the tattoo pigment. I am concerned about its safety on the whole head What are your thoughts?
