For instance, professionally applied tattoos tend to penetrate the deeper layers of the skin at uniform levels. Homemade tattoos are often applied with an uneven hand and their removal may be more difficult. Deeper blue and black ink colors are particularly difficult to remove. Professional tattoos made with some of the newer inks and pastel colors may also be difficult to remove entirely.
