Is it possible to be done by serial excision?

Question

So my tattoo is 6 in x 2 in on my forearm and it is too dense to remove by laser. Id rather be scarred then have this tattoo.  Im having trouble finding a surgeon who still performs encisions. And Is there any surgeons in the chicagoland area that would perform tattoo excision on this.

This could be removed in serial excisions but to be honest will look absolutely horrible and be very difficult to do.  Lasers would be a better option and can be used in the right combinations or methods (ie R20, pico) to get results.  Dr. Emer.

If all all possible, they should try to laser the tattoo before surgical excision. Laser is better option than surgical excision.BestDr Karamanoukian#RealSelf100 Member
