I am regretting a tattoo I got last month. It's all black, professionally done and measures roughly 5 inches long and 3 inches wide down the underside of my forearm. I'm considering laser removal but am wary of the cost and time involved. I'm trying desperately to get information on dermabrasion removal in my area (New York City).
