Removal is not a very pleasant or economical option, but if you made a mistake and have a tattoo that you would like to get removed, ask your doctor for a referral to a dermatologist. Visit a dermatologist to assess your options.
Laser tattoo removal is often successfully at completely removing a tattoo without much scarring. A laser removes tattoos from the skin by rapidly pulsing a specific wavelength of light onto the area. These wavelengths pass through the top layers of skin and are absorbed by the cells that hold the tattoo pigments. Because the light is flashing so quickly, it breaks up these pigment-filled cells, which are flushed out naturally by your body. Laser tattoo removal is a costly and lengthy procedure.
Another option is to have your tattoo covered. Covering techniques are quite advanced, a good tattooist can cover your tattoo with a first-class work of art. The only limitation with covering is that a tattoo can only be covered with a darker color.
