Surgery of the tattoo area and suturing of the area, mechanical abrasion (in this method, a device is used to abrade the skin), cold therapy or cryotherapy, the use of chemical acids, and finally laser therapy including exfoliating lasers such as erbium and co2 and non-exfoliating lasers, from Among the ways to treat tattoos are considered.
Haghigi said: The best way to remove tattoos is laser therapy. The best laser for tattoo removal is the Kioswitch laser. Because without creating a boil (scar) by fragmenting the pieces of paint in the skin, the immune cells of the skin help in swallowing and removing the tattoo paint.

It means complications that do not occur immediately after tattooing. It is really not worth it for a person to suffer from diseases such as AIDS, hepatitis, etc. in order to play a small role.
