Do you think I can remove this tattoo? I have a lot of remorse. (Photo)

Question

If you look in the picture it’s the same around the forearm. And today I regret so much. I don’t know what do I fell so down and depressed. It’s only black and grey colors. It’s as you can see places on my forearm and it goes around almost like a forearm sleeve but a little shorter. Do you think I can get this removed and what would be the best option and how should I do it? Pls I really want help and when can I start the treatment?

Thank you for your question in regards to tattoo removal. Laser tattoo removal is the most effective and safe way to remove unwanted ink. Although, several treatments are required to achieve desired results, it is possible. To be sure you receive the best treatment, see two or more experienced, 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.

Tattoos with Black inks are the easiest to treat but very
few tattoos are pure black and often have associated colors mixed in (i.e.
green, blue, red, etc).  The pico lasers
use a different approach with a faster pulse (think trillinoth of a second) and
can help cut down the number of treatments compared to standard lasers.  Pico lasers are especially adept at removing black and colored tattoos.  Make sure you chose a
pico with enough strength and a provider with experience in this arena.  Best, Dr.

This can be removed with laser tattoo removal. Tattoos should be removed with q switched or pico lasers. Using a PFD patch in tandem with a laser will get you more removal quickly as compared to tattoo removal without it. It will take a series of treatments. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a laser tattoo removal expert. 
Best, Dr. Emer
