Summary
This study tests an automated laser device called PiRAT for removing dark tattoos. The goal is to see how well the human-machine interaction works, including planning, navigation, and laser application. Adults with dark, monochrome tattoos up to a certain size may join. The study will measure pain, satisfaction, and any side effects, with a follow-up after 30 days.
