What will help scarring from Tattoo Removal please? (photo)

lauraskyexxJan 27, 2022
Basically I have scarring from tattoo removal, I’m having trouble removing it cuz of the scarring, should I keep going with the removal if im not really seeing any results? Will it just take longer?? I tried microneedling once a month ago but it didn’t really help, and I’ve just tried a laser to help the scar tissue.. but yeah I just want it gone so I wondered if you have any advice on what would help get rid of it please? thankyouu
