We need to do laser treatment for that. The best results are only seen by being extremely patient. Otherwise skin can get damaged if treatment is done aggressively with no period of rest for skin to heal. If you follow this, usually tattoos can be almost completely removed in 10 to 12 sittings, the number of sittings also depends on the age of the tatoo, and the amount of colour in it

Hello
Picolaser is the best option for tattoo removal
Usually result depends on the type of tattoo, color of tattoo as well as the technology
5-6 sittings required
Ghosting of image is the only drawback though less likely with pico laser
Side effects are none if done with proper precautions otherwise there could be chances of Burns, Irritations, bruising, blistering could happen if not done under proper guided condition
A certified medical aesthetician/dermatologist/plastic surgeon could certainly help for the same
