Tattoo Removal on a Dark Skin

Do you have a dark or tanned skin and want to have your tattoo removed? Tattoo No More is the specialist in completely removing tattoos from dark or tanned skin. A tattoo on colored skin requires extra expertise due to the risk of hypopigmentation (“white spots”) or hyperpigmentation (“dark spots”).

Hypopigmentation after laser tattoo removal on dark skin 

On tanned or dark skin, there is a chance of temporary hypopigmentation after laser removal. Hypopigmentation is a lightening of the skin’s natural color, which may temporarily result in white spots. Our expertise, combined with the use of the Quanta System Laser, guarantees that you will not be left with permanent ‘white spots’. If you do experience temporary white spots after treatment, wait with the next session until they have resolved. The recovery time depends on how quickly your body heals and the location of the tattoo.

Hyperpigmentation on dark or tanned skin 

Some individuals with tanned or dark skin experience hyperpigmentation, meaning that a dark spot remains after a wound heals. If you have hyperpigmentation, there is a chance that you might also retain a dark spot after your tattoo is removed. The choice is yours: either you decide to keep your tattoo, or you have it removed while being aware that dark spots may remain. The dark discoloration can be permanent, although it may fade over time.

With our specialist know-how, we assess on a per-tattoo and per skin type basis whether laser removal is advisable. Schedule an appointment so we can determine if we can safely and completely remove your tattoo without damaging your skin.
