Had left nephrectomy 16yrs ago. i have 10inch black tattoo on my right side, amd im planning to have lazer removal. is it safe for me in my case? help

Safe: It is a concern that you have a solitary kidney but the depth should protect it from removal of a tattoo. You may also ask your nephrologist. All the best.
