Learn About Colour Tattoo Removal in Richmond
Sometimes, clients with tattoos containing pigment seek information on how to manage these colours with laser devices. At Ink Undone, we provide guidance for colour tattoo removal in Richmond, helping clients understand how different pigments interact with laser light. Green ink can respond differently to light due to the wavelengths it absorbs. For this reason, understanding the wavelengths available can help when considering treatment options for tattoos containing green pigment.
At Ink Undone, we use both Q-switched Nd: YAG and Ruby devices. The Ruby device produces a 694 nm wavelength, which is absorbed by green pigment. This information is provided to help clients understand the technical characteristics of the devices used in our clinic, rather than to suggest expected outcomes or guarantees.
Before deciding whether to pursue treatment, many clients find it useful to learn how different wavelengths interact with tattoo pigments and what a consultation typically involves.

Understanding Green Pigment
Green tattoo pigment absorbs specific wavelengths differently from other colours. For some tattoos, access to the 694 nm wavelength may be considered during treatment planning. However, responses vary between individuals, and a practitioner can only provide general information until the tattoo is assessed in person.
The general principles often discussed include:
- How different pigments absorb different wavelengths
- How device selection may relate to pigment type
- How tattoo characteristics such as density, depth and age may influence planning
- What clients can expect during treatment sessions from a procedural perspective

When Technology Matters
Efficient laser tattoo treatment typically relies on Q-switched devices that deliver short pulses of high-intensity light.
Different tattoo colours absorb different wavelengths, which is why having access to a range of wavelengths can support clinicians in selecting settings appropriate to the individual tattoo.
Green tattoo ink absorbs the 694 nm wavelength produced by a Ruby device. At our clinic, we make this wavelength available so clinicians can consider it during assessment when relevant.
Planning Your Green Tattoo Removal in Richmond
If you are considering treatment for a tattoo containing green ink, a consultation at Ink Undone can provide information relevant to your circumstances. During this appointment, a practitioner can review your tattoo, discuss general treatment considerations and outline how different wavelengths may be used.
A consultation may help you understand:
- How wavelengths available in the clinic may relate to your tattoo’s pigment
- What your treatment sessions may involve procedurally
- How factors like tattoo age, placement and pigment density may influence the treatment plan
- What aftercare guidance typically includes
- How treatment intervals are usually spaced
- Any questions you may have about the general process
This personalised review helps ensure that decisions are informed and based on your specific tattoo rather than general assumptions.
Treatment Process and Aftercare
During treatment sessions, clients may experience temporary sensations or visible skin responses. These are discussed during your consultation. Standard post-treatment care instructions are provided to support proper management of the area. If concerns arise at any stage, clients are encouraged to contact the clinic for review.

Colour tattoo removal involves reviewing the tattoo and the pigments it contains. Practitioners can explain the general principles of how different pigments interact with various wavelengths of light.
2. Why is green tattoo pigment discussed separately?
Different pigments, such as green ink, absorb light wavelengths differently. A consultation can provide information on how certain wavelengths, like 694 nm produced by a Ruby device, may interact with green pigment. This is intended to help clients understand the process.
3. What happens during a consultation?
During a consultation, a practitioner will review your tattoo and explain general considerations, including device types and wavelengths. The discussion focuses on the process and options available.
4. What factors are considered when reviewing a tattoo?
Factors such as pigment type, tattoo age, density, and placement may be discussed. These considerations help the practitioner provide information about the procedural aspects of treatment.
5. What should I know about the process and aftercare?
Clients may receive procedural information about what a session involves and standard aftercare guidance. Clients may contact the clinic if they have questions or concerns.
