I'm considering tattoo removal, can a complete tattoo removal be achieved or will I end up with a 'ghost' image?

Asked By:LeanneL15 in London, GB

Im considering getting a big black (which has now turned an off blue colour) thigh tattoo removed.. it has no colour just black, i have pale skin and i seem to heal normally. However im feeling a bit uninformed on what to expect with results. Ive been told that i will end up with a ghost image of my tattoo as the final result however ive then been told complete removal is achievable. Please help advise as im feeling very indecisive.
