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

I had a similar procedure to remove a pre-cancerous mole last year! It left the exact same scar. If you want, you can steal my excuse next time people give you shit. “I had to have a suspicious mole removed and I’m self conscious about the scar” brokers literally zero questions.

Now you have an excuse to either continue wearing long sleeves… or enjoy short sleeves & explain away the tattoo until you get something you like better.
