It also depends on the location of the tattoo on your body and the condition of the skin as to how severe or noticeable the scar will be. The location of the tattoo will also determine how painful the removal and recovery will be.

Since this is an elective surgery, the date can be scheduled around your other health issues, as you should be in as good of health as possible before undergoing surgery. The surgery will likely be done as an outpatient, or you may have to stay overnight depending upon your condition.
