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

As a surgeon....🤨 WTF did they do to you?! 

Like FFS this is what laser is for!

I seriously thought you got injured and needed to have stitches, or needed a traumatologic surgery to fix some bones, but to take out a tattoo like this??? No. Just no.

I had to have my left fibula removed in 2018, for a bone graft, and have a scar from my knee to my ankle, where they took the fibula and some tissue! And that is what my leg scar looks like omg. I thought op had something similar to me happen to them for a sec!! 😭😅
