I had this tattoo placed in my underarm just a few days ago, and instantly regretted it. It's going to be difficult to get rid of it through laser because: 1) It's new; 2) it's multicolored; 3) it was done professionally; 4) it's medium size; 5) I'm skin type IV. I'm thinking of having it surgically removed by serial excision. I'm prone to developing keloid scars, but hope that a serial excision (rather than a single procedure) and scar serum can minimize the risk of a bumpy and stretched scar
