Can You Get a Tattoo to Cover Up What's Left After Laser Tattoo Removal?

Asked By:littlegreatness1018 in california

if you have a tattoo removed by laser, can you get tattooed in the same spot after treatment and healing? I hate my lower back tattoo but if i still had an outline would want something to cover it up. just want to know if this is realistic.
