Tattoos

Tattoos are produced when an exogenous prigment is implanted traumatically or intentionally into the dermis.

In most amateur tattoos, a crude instrument is used to drive a carbon-based pigment such as India ink into the skin. Pigment is usually lightly concentrated within various levels of the dermis. In contrast, professional tattoos are made with an electric tattoo machine that uses rapidly vibrating needles to repeatedly puncture the skin.

Pigment is densely concentrated primarily at the junction of the papillary and reticular dermis. Professional tattoo pigments are composed of mixtures of metallic salts and organic dyes.

Q-switched lasers can lighten almost all tattoos, but the degree of clearing depends on pigment density, color, and composition. Black amateur tattoos generally respond well, typically clearing within 3 to 6 treatment sessions. The response of densely prigmented, multicolored professional tattoos is far more variable. These tattoos typically require 6 to 12 treatment sessions for clearing but may require up to 20 sessions.
