People often think you can’t remove blue, green, and purple inks with a laser. We’re telling you right now that it’s actually possible. However, they can indeed be tough to remove.

This way, if you’re one of the 78% who’d much rather forget about your tattoo, we can help you.
What You Should Know About Color Tattoo Removal
Before you get your coloured tattoo removed, you should make sure you know everything there is to know about it. Take a look right below:
A Note About Wavelengths
Other wavelengths, like 585nm and 650nm, are also used to eliminate tattoos. Theoretically, these wavelengths could be suitable for removing blue and green inks, but they can’t generate as much energy as the wavelengths at 1064nm and 875nm.
If you’re in Central London, be cautious of clinics claiming they can completely remove your blue, green, or purple tattoo using these wavelengths when they can’t. They might be able to start the process, but they won’t be able to do it thoroughly. Always consult with experienced professionals who use the right technology for effective results.
The Colors That Are Easiest to Remove
Tattoos with dark colours are the easiest to get rid of, while tattoos with light colours are the hardest to get rid of.
Here is the rundown for that:
- The easiest ink to clean up is grey and black.
- Tattoos in dark red, blue, and dark green are a little easier to eliminate.
- It’s hard to eliminate bright colours like purple, yellow, green, blue, red, and neon.
- White ink is the hardest to get rid of.
Laser machines that make the 1064nm wavelength can fade or remove dark tattoos. This is because dark tattoos absorb a wide range of laser light wavelengths. On the other hand, coloured and light tattoos only absorb a small range of wavelengths.
Just because someone says a certain tattoo colour is hard to get rid of doesn’t mean it’s physically harder. It means it takes longer to eliminate them or see significant changes when you treat them.
Also, it might not clear up completely. Yes, you could see clearance of 90% or more, but maybe not 100%. But if you use the right laser machine and accessories, you can treat coloured tattoos quickly and get good results.
The Number of Sessions Required
Getting rid of colour tattoos takes longer, and getting rid of large colour tattoos takes even longer, depending on their size.
We can’t say how many sessions you’ll need to get rid of your tattoo until we see it and talk to you. This is because every tattoo is a different project. Also, getting rid of a tattoo depends on more than just its size and colour.

Some Helpful Tips on Tattoo Removal
Before you make an appointment to get your tattoo removed, think about the following:
Not every tattoo will go away
It’s important to talk to an expert in laser treatment about what to expect. After these treatments, some tattoos only fade in parts.
Older is better
How long ago did you get your tattoo? The answer is important. Most of the time, laser treatments work better on older tattoos than on newer ones.
If the laser removal reveals changes in your skin, you may be left with a “ghost” of your old tattoo.
Body placement matters
Where did you get your tattoo? Tattoos farther down the arm or leg tend to fade more slowly.
Who did it?
Most of the time, amateur tattoos are easier to get rid of than professional tattoos.
There are different lasers for each colour
No single laser can remove all tattoo colours. Different colours react to different kinds of light. If you’re in Central London and looking for tattoo removal, it’s important to know that yellow, purple, turquoise, and fluorescent dyes are the hardest to remove, while black and dark green are somewhat easier to eliminate.
Your skin may get different
Tattooing can leave scars or change how your skin feels, but the dyes often hide these effects. If the laser removal reveals changes in your skin, you may be left with a “ghost” of your old tattoo.
Sunscreen can help
Laser treatments may make the skin around and over the tattoo darker or lighter. To prevent a significant change in your skin’s colour following laser tattoo removal, wear sunscreen before and after the procedure. For the same reason, you should wait until your tan is gone before getting a tattoo taken off.
The darkening effect
With laser therapy, some cosmetic tattoos, like pink, white, and flesh-coloured lip liners, can get darker immediately. Most of the time, this effect can be fixed with more treatment. If you are worried about your skin getting darker immediately, you should first try the laser on a small spot.
Are you allergic?
Tell your doctor if you had an allergic reaction to your tattoos, like a lot of itching and swelling. Getting rid of the tattoo with a “Q-switched” laser could cause a more severe allergic reaction.
Lastly, before you get more body art, remember that it’s meant to last a long time.
Make sure the tattoo you get is something you’ll be happy to have when you’re older.
Sometimes A Little Less Colour Is Good
We understand that you might have some regrets about your tattoos. Our experts here at Pearl Lemon Tattoos will help you eliminate some tattoos you’d much rather forget than keep.
It is what it is, and we acknowledge that sometimes a little less colour is good.
We’ll be with you throughout the process, so you don’t have to be afraid.
