Is it possible to do multiple excisions on a large new tattoo?

Be careful you do not trade one problem for a worse  problem. Excision of your tattoo will obviously result in a scar that may be unsightly. Several excisions (staged) may be necessary because of the tightness of the skin in this area.

Skin grafting is a major procedure with significant potential risks and complications,  involving the recipient and donor sites. Again, the resulting cosmetic results leaves much to be desired.

I would suggest you continue to look into laser treatment options (this technology does improve yearly).

If you do decide to proceed with surgical treatment, consult with a well experienced board-certified plastic surgeon.

Best wishes.

Tattoo laser technology has made significant advances in recent years that less treatment sessions may be required compared to what we had in the past. Q-swtiched Nd:Yag laser is the gold standard. Ink particles deposited underneath the skin get vaporized by Q-switched laser and taken up by scavenger cells of our immune system. Excisional removal should be the last resort as the cosmetic outcome is by far superior with tattoo laser removal.

Hi there-

With technological advancements in lasers, there is no question that particularly with a large tattoo, your best option for removal would be through a laser treatments.

Specific lasers are required, as not just any would work, but this would be your best bet.
