Tattoo removal of a full sleeve: is it possible? (Photos)

September 30, 2017
Asked By:amnich123 in Massachusetts, MA

Since 2015 I have been working on a sleeve tattoo. Most of it is finished but for about a year now i have been thinking of looking into laser removal. I have found my skin does not hold ink well, and thus my tattoo fades fast. I have already gone in for one touch up and the ink still looks like a grey wash. Is it possible for me to have my whole sleeve removed? If I choose to start the process how many sessions should it take? Will my arm ever look 100% tattoo free? Will there be scaring?
