Yes, they can be removed with a Q-switched laser. Many physicians and clinics do not have a Q-switched laser, so call around before you go in. Do not let them try other lasers just because it is on the inside of the lip. These other lasers can cause a very significant scar. Your only other option would be to have them surgically removed.

I don't think it is possible to remove a tattoo inside your lip.
