Tattoo Excision on Finger? (Photo)

Based on your photos, it looks as if your best bet is going to be laser tattoo removal. Excision will leave a bigger scar than the tattoo. The PicoSure laser is currently the best on the market working 3x faster than all other lasers. It's also ideal for all skin types and tattoo colors. I would try to find a practitioner that has the PicoSure device.

To remove the entire area via excision would leave a scar that will be more visible and noticeable for the rest of your life.  It covers too much area of the finger.  There are now picosecond lasers that would be ideal to use with this color and location will resolve.  Picosecond lasers will also resolve the tattoo quicker than traditional nanosecond lasers.  With your dark skin a Picoway laser with 1064 nm picosecond laser is ideally suited. Good luck and congratulations on your promotion. 

I have excised many tattoos including on the finger but I don't think that surgical excision would be recommended for this tattoo.  It is too large and covers too much of the finger surface area.  My recommendation would be to continue with laser treatment.  In an African-American patient, the laser which is generally recommended is a YAG laser (1064 nm wavelength) because this has the least chance of causing injury to the skin.
