i dont know about locally sorry but what i can tell you is a mate of mine has had two quite small tattoos removed from his hand (2 swallows in fact)
he has had about a year or so of monthly visits to Harley street in london for approx a 20min session @ around £100 a session
results generally are good and according to him reasonably painful as the laser actually boils the ink up under the skin the tattoos are now fairly well invisible and he has one more visit b4 he is done - at around £1500 it aint cheap!

Please tell your friend to do his homework, as not all Laser treatments remove all colours at the same time.

:thumb:

ND YAG lasers (1064 nanometres) achieve excellent long term results when used to remove black and blue pigments.

KTP lasers (532 nanometres) achieve similar excellent results on red, brown and orange pigments.

Another sort of laser, a Ruby Q-Switch (694 nanometres) is often needed for green pigments. A Ruby Q-Switch laser is currently not available at The Skin Clinic.

Removing white pigments remains a technical challenge for all lasers but this colour is relatively uncommon.

Edit to inc above info.
I've lost my mind and I am making no effort to find it.
