The invention relates to a method for removing tattoos, having the steps of positioning a microneedle patch (1) on a tattooed region of the skin, wherein the microneedles penetrate the tattooed skin layer; introducing, in particular by means of manual pressure, a solution, in particular an aqueous solution, for dissolving the color pigments into the skin through the microneedles of the patch; allowing the introduced solution to act for a duration ranging from 15 to 45 min, preferably from 20 to 40 min, particularly preferably from 25 to 35 min; and removing the color pigments, in particular extracting the color pigments using low pressure, through the microneedles (2) of the patch.
