Hi, I got a wrist tattoo a few weeks ago. It's all black and about 2 inches by 6 inches. I am regretting it now because my family would be really disappointed in me. I really want to get rid of it. I can't stop crying thinking about my parents disappointment. Also, I have keloidal scaring tendencies. I know I am not the best candidate for laser removal but would it be possible to get it done with no or minimal scarring. how much could I pay to expect a really good job but not be cheated?
