Will my skin be the same again after getting a tattoo removed?

Kathrynrosen
I am worried my skin won’t be the same it was after removing a large tattoo. I want to remove a colourful sleeve. Will my skin tan again the same or will it be discoloured? I am willing to put the time and money into removal but only if my skin will be the same it was before the tattoo! Just want my old skin back:(
