Can Raised Tattoo Be Removed?

November 5, 2009
Asked By:stephliongirl in sydney, australia

I have a large design on my back--all black--with areas that are raised. It was done professionally (though badly) and I am looking into having it removed. Do the raised areas mean the ink is darker and thus may not be able to be removed?
