How does laser erase tattoos from our skin?

If tattoos are located at the dermis, what kind of process takes place here? My best guess would be something like “burning and evaporating” the ink, but I don’t really know.

Basically, the high heat of a laser causes the first ink particles the light reaches to shatter. Once the ink is shattered, white blood cells take care of the rest. More ink requires more treatment.
