Can I get tattoo excision on my leg? (Photo)

Asked By:rebeccabuck10 in Jersey City, NJ

I have a tattoo on the right side of my right leg. About two inches from the ankle. I need a small part of it removed immediately for employment purposes. Is skin excision a possibility? Also, how long is the healing time and are there any doctors in the area of NJ that do this? If you look at the picture, I just need the tail sticking out cut off.

Answer: I think this tattoo is too large and the risks too great to consider an excision.
