Ouch!

(Me = Not Doctor) I would think that both would be happening, the epidermis would be swollen and discolored in a way that would make it more opaque, but also the breaking up of the ink particles would make them less pronounced or look faded.

I think (but I'm by no means sure) that the whitening is actually just the epidermis responding to the laser, and that the pigment underneath is still present but made less visible temporarily. Perhaps Dustin or Dr. Labbert can help clarify that.

Ace video Destin!

So the whitening of the pigment at each laser pulse is only temporary? If there weren't white blood cells to remove the pigment the color would come back?
