Is it possible to remove Scalp Micro-pigmentation on dark skin?

RealSelfMember33102
I received SMP(black cosmetic tattoo on head) and am unhappy with the results. The ink was placed at a superficial depth and is all black. Being darker skinned(Fitz 4/5) is removal possible for me? Also are there any hypo-pigmentation risks?
