How soon can one remove a new tattoo? (photo)

Doctor's Answer

First, you must wait at least two weeks before removing your tattoo. Tattoos damage your skin and you need time to heal. The good news is that black ink is the easiest to remove, particularly with the highly effective PicoWay laser.

The less-good news is that tattoo-removal is a lengthy process. Count on multiple sessions with a month or two between each one. Consulting with a board-certified dermatologist will get you a better idea of how much time it’ll take.
