Can I have the tattooed portion of my nipple skin removed instead of undergoing tattoo removal? (photos)

Asked By:8cjgkkkk in Toronto, Ontario, Canada

I am tiring of the tattoos I got and am exploring removal options. My preference, if possible, given what I understand to be a similar cost, would be to remove the tattooed parts of the areola and surrounding skin, rather than tattoo removal, which isn't guaranteed to remove all ink. Would this be possible, based on my photos/measurements? I am typically a 34B Non-tattooed skin directly round nipple = 1-2cm diameter Tattooed area = 5-6 cm diameter Am ok with some areola stretching after.
