Hi there, 4 weeks ago I got a tattoo that covers my left shoulder and upper bicep. The artist (very reputable) did not produce the work i was looking for and im devastated. Im suffering from anxiety and depression as result. I need this removed. I'm committed to the journey but I'd like to know if full removal is even possible. The Tattoo is nearly all black ink and very dense (no cover ups). My immune system is strong. My skin type medium - fair. Is there hope for me?
