Are of different types:
- Decorative ( Amateur, Professional )
- Cosmetic
- Traumatic
- Medical
Amateur tattoos are blue - black in color and can be removed in fewer sessions. Professional tattoos are denser with large quantities of ink placed deeper in the skin, and can be multi coloured.
These tattoos need multiple sessions and some may not clear completely in spite of repeated treatment leaving behind a ghost image of the design.
Q-switched lasers are effective for dark blue - black, green tattoos, whereas red and yellow are difficult to treat.
