Angelina Jolie Tattoo Removal Before and After Pictures

Actress Angelina Jolie is seen here in 2001 alongside her then husband Billy Bob Thornton, whose first name she had tattooed on her arm.

Jolie and Thornton marriage did not last. After they divorced, Jolie had his name removed from her tattoo, as seen here.

By 2010, Jolie had decided to remove her entire old tattoos and get a new one. The new tattoo lists the latitudes and longitudes of the birthplaces of her children. The old dragon tattoo is still barely visible beneath the new tattoo.

Laser Tattoo Removal of Black Ink

Black, carbon based, tattoo ink is the easiest ink to remove via laser tattoo removal because black it absorbs the full spectrum of light, while green, blue, red, and other colors require more targeted laser pulses. This patient needed just a few treatments to get an excellent result.

The laser device fragments the ink with short pulses of intense, concentrated laser light. The method of delivery and the wavelengths used are designed to target only the tattooed pigments, without affecting the surrounding pigments and layers of skin. Different laser lights are used for different ink colors.
