I have a ribbon tattoo on my wrist that needs help. What really bothers me is how dark the borders are, making the margins blurry and dark. In fairness it was a coverup, so it is actually part of the older tattoo appearing. Is it possible to have laser tattoo removal treatments to just certain areas To clean up the extra dark areas? Can a tattoo removal specialist be artistic enough to steer the laser, or is it not precise enough? Who would do this if possible, dermatologist possibly?
