Given the above, it is not possible to predict how many sessions are required to remove a tattoo. It isn’t possible to say whether the tattoo ink will go completely, as it is up to your body how well the ink is released and dealt with following laser. It is however, possible to completely remove a tattoo with the skin remaining normal looking. A tattoo can be removed anywhere from 3-15 sessions. It is also possible to just fade a tattoo sufficiently if you wanted a cover-up tattoo in the same area. Your practitioner can give you an estimate on how many sessions you may need, based on similar looking tattoos, age of tattoo, your age etc, but this is only an estimate and they can’t tell how your body will respond once treatment has started.
