What is the best way to remove a tattoo?

There are several ways to remove a tattoo, including laser removal, surgical excision, and dermabrasion. Of these methods, laser removal is considered to be the most effective and least invasive. It involves using a laser to break down the pigments in the tattoo, which are then absorbed by the body. The number of laser treatment sessions required will depend on the size, colour, and location of the tattoo, as well as the individual’s skin type and healing process.
