"Is it possible to remove hair over tattooed skin with a laser?"

Why tattoos must not be treated with a laser

A laser for hair removal works with targeted light energy, which Melanin in the hair follicle.
Tattoos, on the other hand, contain Color pigments in the skin - and these pigments also react to the laser light.

The consequences can be serious:

Pigments react with the laser light

the heat can lead to burns or scars.

Color changes

Tattoos can fade, change color or be completely destroyed.

Skin damage

Blisters, crusts or injuries to the skin are possible.

Skin damage

as the energy does not hit the hair but the pigment.

Therefore, in reputable studios such as Skinlaser Lucy tattooed areas in principle not lasered.
