Which shades of color cannot be removed by laser tattoo removal?

More specifically, I read that certain shades of purple may not be able to be removed by laser tattoo removal. Well guess what, I have a purple tattoo. So I was wondering precisely which shades of purple cannot be removed by lasers? Mine is a dark, but at the same time bright and kind of shiny, purple. Am I out of luck?

Only if it’s like a pale purple, like lilac…then it will be hard to take out. White is practically impossible, and yellow is very hard. I had no distress with red, black or green.

The laser reflects off of the color, and if the color is too set alight, it doesn’t work. Dark insignia reflect best. I reckon you’ll be ok, although I’m a bit confused as to the dark/bright shiny purple description. If it’s dark, it will be ok.
