Can these tattoos be excised? (Photos)

Nurturing9322
I have two purple tattoos that I want to remove. I’ve read that purple ink does not respond well to laser since it contains metals. I am just concerned about the scarring that would occur after the excision. Would it be possible for a surgeon to excise these two tattoos with minimal scarring?
