The cosmetic tattooing was done to blend in a big pigmentation mark. Q switched yag laser has taken it down to a pale aqua, but cant remove the aqua colour. Should I get a plastic surgeon to do dermabrasion? A skin graft? Please help me - What should I do? When I cover it up with make up it looks like a big bruise!.
