Tattoos are becoming increasingly more prevalent in our society. In 2003, a Harris Poll estimated that 16% of the U.S. population had at least one tattoo. A 2006 study survey showed that 24% of people aged 18 to 50 had tattoos. This increase in tattoo placement will likely be followed by an increased interest in tattoo removal. The ability to remove tattoo ink safely and efficiently has improved greatly in the last decade with improved laser technology. This article will discuss current modalities used for tattoo removal as well as older methods that are becoming obsolete.
