The light beam from the laser machine breaks down the tattoo ink into small particles, which get absorbed into your bloodstream. Then it gets passed through your body through things like your wee and sweat, each time removing more ink. As soon as the tattoo has been lasered, it will look like the tattoo is gone and there will be white dots over it, where the laser has hit it. This lasts about 10 to 15 minutes and the tattoo will gradually come back with some of the ink permanently faded
