Black tattoos, color tattoos, big tattoos and small tattoos: trying to discern just how many combinations are possible when it comes to them would be next to impossible! The colors, sizes, designs and shapes alone give way to a multitude of probabilities. However, there is one thing many have in common: black ink. Black tattoos obviously have it and most color tats use it too.

While it may seem strange, black ink is actually the easiest to remove. The pigment that comprises black ink is not as stubborn as lighter colors such as yellow and orange, for example; green is said to be the hardest tattoo color of all to remove. One would think the opposite would be true as it seems that other "stains" in life are easier to erase the lighter they are (with some exceptions). Go figure!

Black ink is made from a powdered mix of substances like jet (lignite), wustite (a form of iron oxide), magnetite (another type of iron oxide), and carbon black (soot). It is the easiest to remove with lasers lasers because the pigment absorbs all wavelengths of the laser lights used for tattoo removal.

The great thing about the ease with which black ink can be removed is that it opens up the door to more options for those who are looking to get rid of a tattoo they no longer want to take responsibility for. Virtually any available tattoo removal method will work for black tattoo ink [http://www.tattoo-ink-removal.com/tattooink.html]. Aren't you glad you opted to forgo the color that day?
