Okay so i have skin type 5 and my tattoo is all black ink and its about three months old and it is located on my stomach( naval area) i got it to cover up a old scar. ive heard that since my skin is darker it would be more difficult to remove the tattoo completely and that people with very light to medium untanned skin have much better results. my question is could i bleach the tattooed area to make my skin lighter in order to have a better chance of complete removal?
