Before (session 0) and after (session 6) at Tattoo Removers.Ink.
The tattoo
A small black tattoo on the upper arm on Type II skin (fair, tans sometimes but often burns).
Fitzpatrick Type II is favorable: tolerates standard energy settings with minimal pigmentation risk.
The upper arm is close to the axillary lymph nodes, which supports efficient clearance between sessions.
Timeline
6 sessions over 1 year, 7 months.
Sessions were spaced 3-4 months apart.
Complete clearance in 6 sessions is at the faster end of what this type of tattoo typically requires.
The laser
Tattoo Removers.Ink treated this case with the Enlighten, a picosecond platform.
For black ink, it operates at 1064 nm with a pulse duration of 660 ps, 750 ps & 2 ns.
