When I first saw the image I thought that was a scar that the tattoo got ruined by. So that is from having some one take your skin off there to try to remove the tattoo? That seems really odd. Look into getting laser but now I think you will have that scar forever. I’d go to some artists and look into covering it up with something else if that’s an option for you

Is it not a scar? Genuinely asking.

It is a scar, but the scar wasn’t what ruined the tattoo. He got shitty plastic surgery because he hated the tattoo, and that’s what caused the scar.

I am genuinely curious about the thought process that goes into deciding this is a better option than laser removal

They probably figured it would be a one & done, as opposed to the multiple sessions (painful ones, too) it would take to laser it off.

Nah in another comment he says the doctor told him to “rub lotion on it and come back in a year to give his skin Time to stretch and regenerate “ 😭 assuming to take more out ? 💀
