Any Advice on Removing This Tattoo - London, GB

Hi! With the tattoo you have I would definitelly go for Yag laser. Picosure would we worth the price if you would have colours there (Purple, Blue). It also looks like a one that should be succesfully removed with fewer sessions as I can mostly see shadowing and the lines do not seem to go to deep. Will just be a matter of time :-) Similar shades I had almost removed with YAG in 5 sessions, probably 3 more and skin would be clean of any ink. Just search for a clinic with good opinions, I think knowledge and experience of the technician is something sometimes even more important then the type of laser you are choosing,. Good luck :-)

I think you'll have great fading from laser treatments considering your tattoo is mostly black and shading. Colored tattoos are the hardest to get out.

I have been using a Quanta Q + C (Q-Switch) laser on my black lines and black shading and after 5 sessions I have some very dramatic fading and the heavy lines are breaking up quite a bit.

According to information on the internet the best wavelength for black ink is 1064 nm. Picosure lasers do not use that wavelength (unless it has an add-on, ask the clinic). Some people have had decent fading on black ink with the Picosure, but their results in my opinion look similar to or worse than the progress I'm getting with a Q-Switch. So I recommend a Q-Switch laser, but ultimately the choice is up to you. Ask questions at different clinics and do research online.

Keep us updated.

Hello. A Picosure laser is excellent technology to remove black ink. It works by giving a photomechanical pulse to break up that ink into tiny sand-like particles so your body can flush it away. You will need a few sessions but I see no reason why you should not be able to obtain removal of the entire image if you want it removed.

pico sure is the best
the other laser won't work

Woo! First treatment!
What laser did you end up using?
How was the pain?

Good luck

Did you go for the qswitch laser? I do see some fading in the shading of the body of the bird. Your tattoo is pretty dark and might respond better to a pico laser. I would definitively recomend a couple of treatments with pico laser before you give up. I have seen great results with pico laser and think it is the best. Good luck.

what laser are you using.. I have a tattoo that was placed last week that I want gone.. I have to wait 3 mos to start this and feel sick over it...the place I am going only does picasure...

My clients always say that they notice the most difference/fade just before they are due another laser session

Thank you
