The tattoo
An extra small black tattoo on the lower leg on Type II skin (fair, tans sometimes but often burns).
Fitzpatrick Type II is favorable: tolerates standard energy settings with minimal pigmentation risk.
The lower leg drains slowly compared to the upper body; ink clearance here is among the slowest.
Bottom line
Tattoos on the lower leg clear more slowly than torso work due to restricted circulation. Realistic timelines here run longer than average.
