Wow, that healed really WELL! I would take that scar any day over my faded wrist tatt! Maybe a dumb question, but is your mobility in your wrist the same? As in, the only side effect to the procedure is the slight scar? THANKS AGAIN!!!

Also, if you could please share the roundabout cost for the excision and what kind of facility you went for it (plastic surgeon?). I am seriously considering this, thanks!

that looks so good!!! i have been considering excision as i just really don't believe in laser. Seeing this has made me a lot less worried!! can you tell me how much it cost you? I'm from Ireland so i'm pricing places here and in England at the minute! Congrats!

hi there rosiebum, i am thrilled by ur tattoo excision as the scar looks GREAT! looks like there is barely a scar there its healing really nicely. i too am looking into tattoo excision for a tattoo on my stomach that is mainly black but also has some colors in it. im dark skin african american and ive been told that laser doesnt work well on darker skin and especially for the colors i have in my tattoo which are mainly black red green and highlights of yellow and orange. what doctor did ur tattoo excision cuz im thinking of taking that route instead of laser. do you think i should try out laser first then go to tattoo excision if it doesnt work? im not too concerned with having a scar as i know in time it will fade and scars arent bad to me. id rather have a scar than a tattoo at this point.

I had a tattoo on my wrist for two years and grew out of it. I decided to try laser removal and after 9 goes it wasnt really coming out so I decided on excision. Excision was a easy process of around 20 mins. it was bandaged up for 7 days and its 10 days post op and looking rather nice! Im so happy the scaring will fade down and I now no longer have my tat :)

Thank you so much for posting your pictures! We don't have very many reviews that show excision results, so this is very much appreciated!

How is the area feeling? Is it painful or itchy?

Not itchy or painful at all. He said the skin could be tight as there isnt much give but this only lasted a week. I took a week off work to let it heal and its gr8! More pics in 2 wks x

Hey Rosiebum, Can you post an updated pic of the healing process? I am curious to see the results b/c I too have a wrist tatt that is on session 7 of laser removal...needless to say it is still visible and I am seriously considering this procedure. Any neg side effects to excision on the wrist? Thanks! I hope you get this; seems like your journey on this website is finally over. CONGRATS!
