Watch this space for future photographs in this intriguing case study.
The tattoo is over 15 years old. The ink pigments have been pushed deep into the dermis by the 12 laser treatments over a period of 2 years, so the removal process is expected to take a little longer than is normally necessary.
However, the initial scabbing process went well and the 2nd cycle of treatment will see a focus on the areas which did not scab as well the first time around.
