When my tattoo healed, it scabbed really badly and half of the ink fell off. Would it be possible to have it removed?
The tattoo is located along the side of my hand, along the edge. Half of the tattoo looks really faded and the other half looks really dark. It's a cross in black ink.

I just got a tattoo on my ribcage that isn't very big. It is outlined in black ink and only shaded a bit inside. Very minimal color to it. I am a pale skinned girl and wanted to know if I will see complete results if I have it removed, or if it will only look faded.
