Will laser tattoo removal leave any scarring? (Photo)

Maryy23
I got this tattoo on my hand a little over a month ago, but it didn’t heal probably. I accidentally scratched it twice and I can see the two small scars on it. Will the scars be a problem? Can I still get my tattoo removed without the scarring getting worst? Also how many treatments will it take?
