I got a tattoo on my upper inner arm and because my tattoo artist was too heavy-handed, this blurry halo appeared. I went to the hospital nearby, the doctor simply glanced at my blowout and said the ink might be far too deep that the laser could not reach. I was confused. I know the ink might be injected deeply, even under the dermis, but I thought the laser could do better than that. So is it possible for me to get this blowout removed? I’d appreciate it if you could give me the answer.
