The tattoo

A quarter sleeve black tattoo on the shoulder, upper arm on Type III skin (medium, tans easily, rarely burns).

Fitzpatrick Type III requires careful setting management to avoid temporary pigmentation changes between sessions.

The upper arm is close to the axillary lymph nodes, which supports efficient clearance between sessions.

The laser

The Enlighten is a picosecond platform.

For black ink, it operates at 1064 nm with a pulse duration of 660 ps, 750 ps & 2 ns.
