Staged excision or skin graft? (Photo)

March 7, 2024
Asked By:Terrific756264 in Bethesda, Maryland

I got this tattoo a while ago. I don’t mind it but the issue is that I’m severely allergic to nickel. I didn’t know that the ink my artist used had nickel in it. Laser removal places won’t take me bc of my allergy, and I don’t want laser removal bc it takes years, during which I’d be reacting to the allergen in my bloodstream, and there’s no guarantee it leaves the body. Is staged exicison, possibly combined w skin graft, possible? I don’t mind scars. Tattoo is 6 in across
