Fig. 1 A patient attempted to remove her tattoo one evening in a bar with a lighted cigar. She was able to achieve complete removal in a given area, with little textural change, in a single treatment. Unfortunately, she realized the odds of performing this feat again were smali. In addition, the associated pain must have been a deterrent.
