Abstract:
Tattoos have existed since ancient times in every culture with a growing fascination. The need for tattoo removal has also increased in demand with its rising popularity. After an extensive literature review, we have outlined the various conventional tattoo removal methods that have existed and continue to be practiced and the theory behind it, new laser devices and the various strategies that have been applied for effective tattoo removal and also the surgical methods which are employed. Although tattoo removal methods have revolutionized over time, further research is needed to offer safer and more effective methods.
