Skin and ink

Green is the hardest to remove I believe? Red actually fades the quickest because the body is able to break down that pigment a lot faster than some of the other colours.

Your body treats a tattoo a lot like an infection, it fights the ink and tries to break it down and remove it.

When you have laser treatment, the laser breaks up the pigment and the smaller particles are a lot easier to dissolve by the bodies natural defences.

Green is the hardest pigment for the body to fight and its usually the last part of a lasered tattoo to fade away.
