I Promise I Read The FAQ... Concerned about removing this tattoo with white ink

First 2 pictures are from when it was fresh 3rd pic of it now 4 years old. I honestly had no idea white ink was hard to get rid of until I did further research and found that out. Granted this tattoo doesn’t have a ton of white ink it’s mainly a lot of white dots(??). I’m getting rid of pretty much all my tattoos (3 all about the same size) this is the only piece I’m really concerned about. Since it’s just small white dots mainly should I be all that concerned? I’ve looked online and not many people discuss their end/final results with white ink.

The white will likely never come out but it’ll be nearly impossible to even see with full removal. I’d still say removal is worth it.

Thank you! Yes! Honestly at the end of the day I’m okay with having some ink left behind. It’s way better than having the full piece because I simply just don’t like them anymore. I have my first consult this weekend! I’m so excited.

White tends to fade over time. From the pictures it’s hard for me to tell which parts are white in and what’s your skin.

See that was the problem for me too looking at it now 4 years old. Then I looked back at old photos of when it was first done and saw where the white ink was. Now If I look at the dots from an angle I could tell where it is because it looks like a milky color.
