Consider your tattoo complexity. For single-color black tattoos, PicoWay and Duality are both effective. For multicolor or resistant tattoos, ask whether the clinic has experience treating your specific ink colors and whether they have more than one laser available.

Use your consultation to compare. Come prepared to ask:

• What laser do you use, and why is it right for my tattoo and skin tone?
• Can I see before-and-after photos of similar tattoos you have treated?
• What is your policy if I need more sessions than estimated?
