There were many lasers that didn't work well on some colors for tattoo removal in the early days of this form of treatment. We have in our office a company called "Invisible Ink Tattoo Removers." They utilize the pico technology from Syneron/Candela which seems to be the most effective treatment available today. They do an analysis of your tattoo and give a guarantee of removal. You could Google them to see if there are any offices close to your location. I know they are expanding. Good luck.

With the lasers I use, it is very difficult to get rid of blue ink. Check with the Laser Company they are using to verify they have success with blue ink tattoos.

It depends on the exact colors, type of laser and location of tattoo. It sounds like your tattoo has a lot of ink and that's why it is not fading yet. Some colors are very difficult and can take many treatments.
