Once the ink is dry, set your laser to its lowest possible energy setting. Fire a couple of shots and see if the ink has vaporised. If not, increase the energy by the minimum possible increment.
Once the required energy has been found, set your repetition rate to the highest possible setting. I typically use 10 Hz (shots per second). This will allow you to remove all the ink in around six to eight minutes.
Don't try to remove every single ink particle - you'll be there all day!!
Also, depending on the skin of your victim, some ink particles may sink into pores, and may not be zapped off by the laser energy. Don't worry about these - they will fall out/be washed off in a day or two!
Once most of the ink has been removed, it is a good idea to repeat the process, without the ink. In other words, fire the laser energy over the skin again.
This time, the 1064nm energy will penetrate deep into the dermis and stimulate the fibroblasts. This should help to generate new collagen at some point in the future (it could take up to three months!)
After all this has been completed, the skin can be cleansed as normal.
