This is probably the most common issue with laser tattoo removals. You have a level of fade that leaves the tattoo less visible than before you started, but still oddly visible, like a ghost tattoo that someone can still see if they look right at it.
Not a fun place to be.
The good news for you guys who haven’t gone through this is that your tattoo is at lower risk if it’s solid colored. Complicated multicolored tattoos are more difficult to fade because different inks respond in different ways to the ink removal lasers. There’s a tendency for part of the tattoo to be more visible than other parts. Another reason I recommend doing a cover up as first option.
High complexity, lower fade
The most difficult about laser tattoo removal is multicolored tattoos that are also highly complex. I’m talking about intricate patterns like sweeping back designs with full on backgrounds and character details down to the hairs and facial gestures. Oh boy, those will probably not fade completely.
The more detail, the more ink used. And if some of the tattoo is flesh-colored, red, tan, or white, you’re looking at a partial removal from the lasers.
Natural removal fades more evenly
As natural removal methods exfoliate the skin, bringing the ink to the top, they are less discriminatory. The amount of ink used and the different color/pigment are less of a factor. It rather surprised a lot of my clients after paying a couple thousand dollars to a laser tattoo removal clinic, and then trying a basic exfoliation process and the rest of the tattoo goes away on its own!
Of course, you don’t need to wait until a laser removal returns a subpar result. Check out my laserless tattoo removal guide if you haven’t already for lower cost, at home removal methods. Check our honest review about it at https://deliverit.blogspot.com/p/the-laserless-tattoo-removal-guide.html
You know why you haven’t seen these techniques on TV? Because they’re not good moneymakers. They’re low cost and don’t require a doctor. Thankfully, ink under the skin isn’t a terribly difficult problem to solve, especially with the right ingredients and removal process.
