Tattoo removal WITHOUT laser

As laser treatments can potentially make pigments even more harmful during tattoo removal, I would like to know if it is still possible nowadays to cut out the tattoo. The subcutaneous tissue is already heavily scarred! How large could the area be at maximum? Could the size be increased gradually? What other options are there besides laser? Why did the dermatologist not mention this during the cancer screening appointment? Do the pigments not penetrate into the body through the skin? Is this information not common? Are there specialized clinics?

Good evening,
how large is the tattoo and how long have you had it?
How old are you and why is the skin around the tattoo scarred?

I am happy to help you further.

Best regards,

Dr. K. Hamann
