Asked By:zizwiz in Peakhurst, AU

Hi! I'm looking to get the below tattoo removed from my shoulder. I have some scarring related to thermal burns, deep scratches and laser hair removal with a candela yag machine (minimal "temporary" hyperpigmentation). The clinic I've enquires with uses a Q-Switch Quanta Laser, and have advised me to do some research and thinking about the treatment option. Opinions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
