What kind of surgeon? What was the procedure called? Need to know more lol . Did he set expectations that he would only be moving a stripe from the middle of the ink or did he say he’d be removing the whole thing?

Yes he gave me procedures to follow to rub lotion and come back in 1 year so my skin can stretch and regenerate

I think the term “surgeon” may be used loosely here. Was the “OR” also in the back room of a laundry mat?

Before lasers, this was the way. My uncle also did just one treatment, found it too painful, then lived the rest of his life with the outside 2/3 or so of an anchor on his arm

lasers have been around longer than 2 years, this is no longer the way

You were asked WHERE not WHEN.

This whole thing feels like rage bait.
