It is easier to remove a fresh new tattoo? How long should one wait to remove a new tattoo?

July 3, 2018

I have been putting aquaphor on it 2 times a day and making sure it is healing the best possible way to ensure no scarring or complications during removal. Is it easier to remove a fresh new tattoo? I feel like it’s so lightly done I can see my skin under neath it. I am praying for quick removal. It’s only 4 days old and I have already booked back to back consults for pricing. Please help.
