6 Tattoo Types That Respond Best to Laser Tattoo Removal
Are you thinking about getting rid of your tattoo? You may have many reasons for wanting to do
so – perhaps you’ve outgrown the design, or it’s become a source of negative associations.
Whatever your reasons, laser tattoo removal can be a very effective treatment for many people
who want to remove unwanted tattoos.
Laser tattoo removal works by breaking up the ink of the tattoo with a laser. The laser breaks up
the ink into smaller pieces, which are then absorbed by the body.
However, it is important to remember that laser tattoo removal is not always 100% effective and
may not work on all tattoos.
So what are the factors that will affect how well your tattoo responds to laser tattoo removal?
They are the following:
- ink type
- tattoo location
- age of the tattoo
- size
- depth
- skin type
Let's take a look at each of these factors in more detail.
1.Ink Type
The type of ink used in your tattoo will affect how well it responds to laser tattoo removal. Black
ink is the easiest to remove because they absorb all laser wavelengths. In contrast, white ink is
the hardest. Other ink colours, such as green, blue, and red, fall somewhere in between.
Other dark colours, such as blue and green, are also relatively easy to remove. Light colours,
such as yellow and orange, are more difficult to remove. Red is the most difficult colour to
remove.
2.Tattoo location
The location of your tattoo also affects how well it responds to laser tattoo removal. Tattoos on
the legs or arms will usually respond better than tattoos on the hands, feet, or face. This is
because the skin on these body parts is thicker, so the laser can penetrate deeper and break up
the ink more effectively.
3.Age of the Tattoo
Older tattoos tend to respond better to laser tattoo removal than newer tattoos. This is because
the ink in older tattoos has had more time to break down and fragment, making it easier for the
laser to break it up
4.Size of the Tattoo
The size of the tattoo also affects how well it responds to laser tattoo removal. Smaller tattoos
are easier to remove than larger tattoos.
5.Depth of the Tattoo
The depth of the tattoo will also play a role in how well it responds to laser tattoo removal.
Shallow tattoos are more likely to respond well to laser tattoo removal than deeper tattoos.
6.Skin Type
Your skin type also affects how well your tattoo responds to laser tattoo removal. People with
lighter skin usually see better results than those with darker skin. This is because laser light can
be absorbed more easily by lighter skin.
Conclusion
It is important to remember that there are a variety of tattoo types and each type responds best
to laser tattoo removal. For example, black and dark blue inks are the easiest to remove, while
green and light blue inks are more difficult. The tattoo location, age, depth and skin types are
also factors you need to consider to determine the effectiveness of laser tattoo removal.
