Hello. Definitely it can be removed. However the mode of removal has to be decided on the size, position and the depth of the tattoo, for which I would like you to get it examined first. It can be removed by either, Excision or laser therapy etc, all which has their own pros and cons. These you can discuss accordingly.

There is no harm by tattoo... But the instrument used in it can transfer infection... So if it is not infective then non-issue..

Health Query

I have a tattoo on my wrist of length 5 cm and breadth 1 cm of green colour. What time and cost is taken in removing the tattoo, because I have to give medical examination of airforce next month. Is tattoo removal rare or it is cheaply available. I get tattoo before 9 years. Can it cause any skin disease now.

Hello. For such a short time and for the dimensions of the tattoo which you have mentioned, definitely a surgical excision will be the best. Laser therapy will take longer time. The excision will give you complete results within 15 days. Cost depends on the place where you get it done. At your place it should not cost more than 8k.
