What to do with that old tattoo?

What many of us do on a whim or dare (or possibly irritate our parents) do — in short, super impulsive — is one of the hardest things to get out of right now. But whatever the reason for the tattoo, the process of getting a tattoo removed can be a tricky and lengthy process.

Of course, we should not generalize. There are also many of us who think about getting a tattoo for a long time and think very carefully about what to get tattooed. As time passes and thinking changes, some people just want to get rid of that tattoo that no longer has the meaning of years ago.

Have you embarked on your tattoo removal journey? Many times it looks like a lot of money is spent for suffering, and leaving a tattoo that is faded or distorted, or one that has changed from one color to another. We hope you didn't leave anything worse like burns or scars!

So now this tattoo you don't want is a tattoo you don't like or an uneven color, and your tattoo removal process seems to be hitting a wall... that's okay, don't panic!

Why are my tattoos so hard to remove?

Removing a tattoo itself is a complicated matter, the color of the tattoo, the size of the tattoo, the time of the tattoo, etc. are all reasons why the tattoo is difficult to remove.

Tattoo Color: Removing a dark blue or black tattoo is actually the easiest. Basically, the more contrast between the color of the tattoo and your skin, the easier it is for the technique to target the ink. The brighter the color, like red, yellow, green or any neon color, the more difficult the removal process.

Tattoo size: If you have a larger tattoo, it will take longer to remove.

Time of tattoo: Removing an old tattoo is usually easier than removing a new one because your body has actually started to remove the ink particles on its own, which is why tattoos fade over time. So, if your tattoo is relatively old, it will appear as if you have had several tattoo removal treatments, so it is a little easier than a new tattoo removal.

OK, that's what we didn't say before. Older tattoo removal systems suffer from the drawbacks we listed above. Yes, it's hard to get your tattoo removed, but it's even harder if you go somewhere where they use old inadequate techniques to get your tattoo removed. These techniques cannot target bright colors, or can be very dangerous for darker skin tones that can lead to hypopigmentation or keloid scars.

The Picosecond laser addresses many of the drawbacks we just mentioned. It is truly the number one technique for tattoo removal as it can handle the most stubborn and difficult tattoos to remove.

Picosecond lasers use these ultra-fast and powerful pulses, measured in picoseconds or trillionths of a second (which is crazy). These ultra-short pulses are delivered by a high-powered and extremely precise laser that targets the ink particles and smashes them into finer pieces that your body can easily absorb and eventually remove naturally, thereby getting rid of the tattoo.

The picosecond laser was basically developed to solve many of the difficulties mentioned above: it can target a variety of tattoo ink colors, including those hard-to-remove neon colors; it penetrates deeper into the surface of the skin and is more precise, so it can be more Efficient tattoo removal.
