Possibility of tattoo removal in scar tissue?

lblidat
Hello all. So I am undergoing tattoo removal with the picoway (previously the picosure) and I have two very small scars under the ink. This was either caused by the tattoo removal itself or from the tattoo artist. I was wondering if its possible to remove ink in scar tissue? The scars are smaller than half the size of my pinky and slightly raised. They look like the regular scars I developed as a child falling off my bike. Any info would be great, thank you!
