During the procedure, the a scalpel is used to remove the top layer of skin that contains the tattoo ink. The area is then closed with stitches, and the you will need to follow post-operative care instructions to ensure proper healing and minimize scarring. The procedure can be performed under local anesthesia, and the time it takes to complete depends on the size and complexity of the tattoo.
