Can this finger tattoo be removed through a surgical excision? (Photo)

September 11, 2018
Asked By:andy028 in Orange, CA

I am starting the process of enlisting in the USAF but having this tattoo is delaying that process a bit. I had one session of laser removal but I have decided it’s going to take much longer than I would like, so I am looking to get it it surgically removed. I am having trouble finding someone who has experience performing this procedure. I would prefer to find one in Orange County or Los Angeles area.
