Any doctors in the NJ/NYC area that can remove this tattoo? (photos)

Question

I got this tattoo a year ago to cover my stretch marks , but now I seriously regret it. I would like to remove this tattoo now but can't seem to find any good doctors in my area. Also I would like to know if anyone can help remove these stretch marks ? I would like an estimate of how much a session and for how long. I would like to get these sessions started soon

Thank you for your question and photograph. Picosure
laser is a good option to have this tattoo removed as it is safe and effective
and there is a low risk of scarring. This treatment works best on dark inks
like black and dark blue which gives you an effective permanent result. I
recommend you see an expert in order to determine the best treatment plan for
you. All the best!

You are not alone. An estimated 20 million Americans sport tattoos. Laser technology has made great strides in eliminating tattoos. The laser's short pulses of intense light pass harmlessly through the top layers of the skin and are absorbed by the tattoo pigment. This causes the tattoo pigment to fragment into smaller particles that are then removed by the body's immune system. With the array of state-of-the-art lasers, these all help to remove tattoos of all colors, shapes, and sizes, but it will take several treatments.

You could get the tattoo removed with laser, and also laser could help with the stretch marks. I would recommend finding a reputable provider.

Your tattoo can definitely be removed and will take several sessions to be performed.  It needs to be spaced out 8 weeks apart.  The tattoo needs to be evaluated in person but looks like with the pattern and ink distribution that you can remove it properly.  Please consult a board certified dermatologist who is an expert in tattoo removal for the best cosmetic results.  Best, Dr. Green
