Can red tattoo shading be removed in less treatments? (Photos)

November 4, 2017
Asked By:biancadgalaz in Tucson, AZ

Ever since I first new what tattoos were I had always wanted a tiger on the side of my body and about two months ago I finally decided to get it done in red ink! I guess my tattoo artist didn't understand when I said I just wanted a tiger outline in red ink and decided to shade in the tattoo with a very bright red ink and now I'm unhappy with it. Can shading be removed in less treatments ? Or cheaper ? I'm going to add A picture of the idea I had wanted and what I got.
