Will laser removal leave a scar? (photo)

December 28, 2016
Asked By:dseymo21 in Canton, OH

I have a tattoo on my inner wrist that I have to get removed. My army recruiter told me that as long as there isn't a bad scar after the removal I would be fine. I'm just worried because I've heard that it can leave bad scarring.
