Laser tattoo removal has a good success rate. However, the results may vary for each patient. While some can erase every trace, other devices will result in minimal improvements. However, these results are also dependent on a variety of factors.
Certain ink colors are easier to remove compared with others. The easiest are black and dark green, while red, yellow, purple and turquoise are the hardest to fade. White, flesh and pink tones used in cosmetic tattoos can darken with laser and tests should be performed first before any attempts at removing these colors. In the case of old and faded tattoos, those will be easier to remove than new ones.
