Permanent make up tattoos can, at times, be removed. However, they may contain substances that can make them darker and treatment may not be successful.

While some permanent make up can be removed with Q-switch lasers, it is usually the darker colors that come off easier. Flesh tones such as your tattoo can turn darker with exposure to the intense heat of these lasers. However, there is vast differences in the kinds of pigments used in these inks.

They should be able to offer you a test spot to see if any treatment they suggest will work. Good Luck!
