Some tattoos can be colorful, with complex patterns, while others can be a couple of lines with virtually no color. You may need multiple sessions to remove the tattoo, depending on the number of colors and skin type.

The tattoo needle machine works by perforating the upper layer of the skin to apply ink. Therefore, the required tattoo removal sessions will depend on the ink deposited on the deeper layers. The deeper the ink the more treatments you’ll need to eliminate the tattoo.

Recovery and aftercare
