He takes into consideration many factors that may affect treatment such as the depth of the tattoo, how long the tattoo has been in place, the quality of the inks used to create the tattoo, and to colors used. Some colors may take more sessions than others, and higher quality tattoos are often more time-consuming to fade.

Laser tattoo removal works by using pulses of laser light that breaks down the pigmentation in the ink. By doing this, it can allow the skin to absorb the ink and fade the tattoo.
