Is this blackout tattoo 100% removable? (Photo)

I recently got a blackout tattoo out of impulse because I was too afraid of laser tattoo removal pain. Surgical tattoo removal didn’t even cross my mind, unfortunately. It came out botched and I deeply regret my decision. The coverup is on the bottom of my wrist which the original design contained a few small lines of white ink. I’ve heard it’s impossible to remove with a laser. Could this be 100% removed with laser and microdermabrasion? I’m fine with scars and hyperpigmentation.
