I have a wonderful tattoo artist and I love his work, including the tattoo that I’m talking about in this post. I have a sleeve, and on a part of it he added some designs that weren’t a part of the original tattoo, and just don’t fit the vibe. They’re on the outside of the tattoo and it is all black, can I cleanly have these design features removed without the good parts of the tattoo being faded or damaged? I’ll post some Photos to show you what I’m talking about. The red circle is what I want removed.

It often takes six treatments or more to have the tattoo removed. You can't tell the results after a few days. I bring patients back after two months to assess the results. If you are concerned about the settings you should return to your treating physician. Best, Dr. Green
