Most patients want their entire tattoo removed but some only want a small area to disappear. As an example, at Dr. TATTOFF we had a patient who had a piece of art that contained the name of his ex-girlfriend. He just wanted the name removed, not the whole tattoo. An experienced laser operator can be very detailed and precise in their laser tattoo removal treatment. Fairly often, a tattoo artist will bring a client to Dr. TATTOFF and show us exactly what small portion of a tattoo they want removed so that it can later be corrected with new ink.

The above is also posted on Dr. Will Kirby’s laser tattoo removal blog.
