Hey, I am a 23 year old African American who have lips tatted on both breast consisting of the colors red, pink, and white. I had laser surgery done which was a bad idea. I have a scar that is now unbearable to look at. I'm really considering the excision of my tattoos but unsure should I do it because of the horrible experience I had with the laser surgery...

Great review?

When I caught my infection I was told that I couldn't talk to the doctor after calling a few times. I was told that the infected area will go back to normal. After another procedure which was stupid of me I caught another infection which I decided I did not want another laser procedure done.
