Removed and Why?

Introduction
People assume that every tattoo can be erased, however, 
there are tattoos that cannot be fully removed.
For anyone thinking of removing their body ink, knowing which 
is an “unremovable tattoo” is very important.
We understand that tattoos are inherently supposed to be 
permanent, but they can still fade, owing to advanced laser 
technologies. However, many tattoos have limitations that 
make their removal difficult or sometimes impossible.
Many factors can influence whether tattoos respond well to 
laser sessions. That is why you need to have a 
tattoo removal consultation and set realistic expectations.
Knowing the What, Why, and 
How of Unremovable Tattoos
What Are Unremovable Tattoos?
There are certain tattoos that are hard (even impossible) to completely 
remove by laser, as not all tattoos respond in the same to laser 
treatment.
What tattoos are most likely unremovable?
• Tattoos that are of yellow, white, and light green ink.
• Tattoos that are done through low-quality inks that react poorly against a 
laser.
• Tattoos that are too large and have had multiple layers of coverups.
• Tattoos that are done on sensitive skin, where doing a deeper treatment 
is hard.
Why Are Some Tattoos 
Unremovable?
There are several factors that impact the 
resistance of a tattoo against a laser. These are:
1. Ink Colours
There are certain pigments that are harder to remove, depending on 
how much light they absorb. For example, pigments such as light 
blue and green, yellow, white and any fluorescent tones, do not 
effectively respond to laser treatment.
2. Quality and Depth of the Ink
Poor-quality inks that have low-grade chemicals or metallic 
compounds in them do not respond well to lasers.
3.Tattoo Size, Location, and Coverage
The size of the tattoo, as in large tattoos with a lot of shading, 
are harder to remove as they need more laser exposure to be 
removed properly. With high ink saturation, the body struggles 
to clear particles efficiently, leaving behind traces of the 
tattoo.
Areas of your body with better blood circulation respond better 
to laser removal than other areas like ankles and limbs, as 
they have weaker circulation.
4. Skin Response
If the tattooing was done too aggressively, scarring the skin, the 
laser light will not be able to penetrate the skin evenly. Your 
skin’s compatibility (skin tone and type) also determines 
whether the tattoo can be completely removed or not.
Is Complete Tattoo Removal 
Always Guaranteed?
It is important that you understand that not every 
laser tattoo removal procedure works fully. In many cases, tattoos 
can be faded significantly but not completely eliminated. Patients 
should expect varying degrees of success, from near-invisible 
results to noticeable or softened outlines.
Visit Bianco Beauty so that we can guide you through the process 
properly. Our tattoo removal consultation ensures you enter the 
process with clarity, avoiding disappointment and helping you 
decide whether fading, partial removal, or coverup preparation is 
the right option.
Managing Expectations?
For unremovable tattoos, fading is a more practical 
and achievable option. A faded tattoo can be covered 
up with a new design more easily. By understanding 
the distinction between fading and full removal, clients 
can make an informed choice about their treatment 
plan.
