Why do some tattoos take longer to remove?
Knowing exactly how long it will take depends on a number of factors;
 |
Your immune system plays a huge role in breaking down the pigments and absorbing the inks of the tattoo, so a strong immune system should help you get through it quickly. |
 |
Skin tone is also important. Darker skin tone has less contrast against the ink than lighter skin tone and so can take longer to get satisfactory results. |
The colours of inks used on your tattoo
can also speed or slow the process.
 |
Richer colours such as black, red, deep blue or dark orange absorb the energy well and quickly fade, while bright whites, greens, purples and light blues require break down more slowly. Finally the quality of tattoo; amateur or home made tattoos tend to use weak inks and sit close under the top layer of skin, so are very easy to treat. Professional tattoos use very permanent inks and tend to be deep in the skin, so much more work is needed. |
