People get tattoos for many reasons, be it cultural, personal, or just because they love the design. Tattoos are becoming more and more common, facial tattoos are even gaining popularity.

Just as there are many reasons why people get tattoos, there are many reasons why people may want to remove them.

Although tattoos are permanent, it is only to a certain extent. They can be removed if the patient decides they no longer want them.

The best and safest way is still the Q-Switched laser.

Some colors are also easier to remove than others, namely:

  • Black
  • Brown
  • Dark blue
  • Green

Laser tattoo removal is done over a number of sessions. Bigger, darker, and more colorful tattoos take longer to remove than smaller, lighter, and less colorful tattoos.
