Six methods of tattoo removal were compared on tattoos of the same design made on a pig by a professional tattoo artist. Once the tattoos were healed and mature, each method was tried three times at 3-week intervals. Biopsies were taken before and after the treatment was completed to determine the depth of the pigment. Standardized color photographs were used to compare the gross appearance. The six methods of removal tried were (1) split-thickness tangential excision and dextranomer dressings, (2) superficial dermabrasion, (3) dermabrasion and dextranomer dressings, (4) salabrasion, (5) tannic acid solution overtattooing, and (6) CO2 laser. The removal of pigment with tannic acid overtattooing and laser were far more complete than the other techniques. Both techniques left acceptable scars. The overall appearance of the CO2 laser-treated tattoos was deemed the most cosmetically acceptable.
在由专业纹身师在猪身上制作的相同图案纹身上，对六种纹身去除方法进行了比较。纹身愈合成熟后，每种方法每隔3周进行三次尝试。在治疗完成前后进行活检，以确定色素的深度。使用标准化彩色照片比较总体外观。尝试的六种去除方法分别是：（1）分层切向切除并使用葡聚糖omer敷料；（2）浅表磨皮；（3）磨皮并使用葡聚糖omer敷料；（4）盐磨皮；（5）鞣酸溶液覆盖纹身；（6）二氧化碳激光。鞣酸覆盖纹身和激光去除色素比其他技术要彻底得多。这两种技术留下的疤痕均可接受。二氧化碳激光治疗的纹身总体外观被认为在美容方面最可接受。
