Abstract
With the development of quality-switched (QS) laser tattoo removal treatment, along with the increasing popularity of tattooing, the number of requests for tattoo removal has increased significantly. Tattoo removal using QS lasers is well established in the medical literature as safe and effective.

In the following case report and discussion, the authors describe what they believe are the first cases of superficial frostbite from improper use of ice packs after laser tattoo removal treatment using QS lasers.
