Modern Tatto Design Removal Techniques

Tatto designs are meant to be permanent. However, many who opt for tatto designs will eventually want to turn back the clock and have them undone. You'll be glad to know that, although the tatto design can't be "undone", even the hardest to remove tatto designs can be rendered nearly invisible.

It is widely reported that tatto design removal is more expensive and considerably more painful than getting the unwanted tatto.

Laser Removal for Tatto Designs

By far, the most common method of tatto design removal is laser tatto removal. The professional performing the removal will aim laser pulses at the ink in the tatto design. The ink will be broken down and absorbed by the body in a manner similar to the natural fading that sun exposure and time will cause. This is a time consuming process and clients should expect it to take several visits to reach completion.

Using lasers, black is the easiest pigment to remove successfully. Other colors may be more difficult to fully eliminate without scarring. Green and yellow are the most difficult colors to successfully remove.

Certain pigments (Yellow #7 chief among them) have been found to convert into toxic chemicals when broken down through exposure to light (including UV light or laser pulses during removal). These chemicals may impact the kidneys or liver.

Covering Up Your Tatto Design

Another common method of tatto design removal rarely removes the tattoo at all. Clients with unwanted ink may opt for a cover-up. Typically, this consists of placing a new tattoo design on the site of the old one by incorporating it into the new design, completely covering it or a combination of the two. Sometimes, the artist will attempt a partial laser removal to make the original artwork easier to hide.

Less Common Methods

Less common methods of tatto design removal include dermabrasian, cryosurgery and excision. Dermabrasian uses a rotary abrasion tool to "sand" off the layers of skin where the ink is resident. It is commonly performed following cryosurgery. Cryosurgery is a method of freezing the skin prior to removal. It reduces blood loss and is commonly performed as a precursor to dermabrasian.

Excision is simply the method of cutting the tatto design out of the skin. It is generally reserved for very small tatto designs.
