Can tattoos be removed on my skin type?

Clear and healthy skin is the goal when we remove tattoos. The last thing clients want is to be left with scarred or damaged skin, which is why skin-safety for all skin tones is a priority at NAAMA. 

Laser tattoo removal is a very clever process - but that doesn’t mean it’s simple. There are many factors to consider when we create your bespoke treatment plan, including your skin type. Darker skin tones are at higher risk of skin damage, such as hypopigmentation, which is why choosing a tattoo removal you trust that uses advanced technology operated by qualified nurses is so important. 

Laser tattoo removal for dark skin

At NAAMA, we can safely remove black ink on all skin types. However, there are limitations when it comes to removing color ink on dark skin (Fitzpatrick 4-6 skin types). This is due to the type of laser wavelength required for color ink removals and how this interacts with the melanin in the skin, increasing the risk of skin damage. 

For dark skin at higher risk of scarring, it’s even more important to choose a studio with laser technology designed for skin-safe removals. NAAMA’s exclusive LightSense® technology operates using ultra-low energy to clear the tattoo ink, making it significantly kinder and safer on the skin compared to standard laser technologies. 

So in short, yes, black ink tattoos can safely be removed on all skin tones.
