tattoo removal has come a very long way and we have advances in our lasers to help remove tattoos of all different colors. typically the longer the tattoo and if it's a simple black tattoo those are the easiest to remove. once you get into the red and the yellow and the green colors it's a little bit more complicate and sometimes we can't entirely remove it and certainly not without leaving a mark behind. so the risk is that it takes multiple treatments. sometimes 10-20 treatments. the treatments can be painful and it can get costly and there's still a risk of having a scar left behind. so if you really don't hate the tattoo i would recommend trying to learn to love it but if you really do want to have it removed i would find a dermatologist that specializes in tattoo removal. you can do this by going to the american academy of dermatology website or the american society of dermatologic surgery website and look for doctors that specialize in those treatments.
i have a tattoo that i want to get removed by laser. how do choose a reputable place and how many treatments do i need?
