Is there anyone who does tattoo excision?

SouthCoastEva
I have a piece on the inside of my left bicep that I've had 10 q-switch yag sessions on, and it's still not where I am satisfied. I am living in Arkansas, but I can travel. I'm in CA about once every 3 months, as I own property there. I'm going back in February for another session on the laser, but at this point, I don't want to go through another 12 laser sessions. I understand that there will be a scar, but to me that is preferable to the tattoo. I also understand the skin laxity issue.
