They were home done tats and the ink was deepe enough to hold but not really as deep as a pro job is.

I took a needle and steadily scratched at each and every line until I dug down to the ink layer and began removing the ink layer...combination of a needle and a razor blade and a lot of ptience can remove smaller tats with no scarring actually but I don't suggest everyone tries it either.

I didn't see the point in paying $200 to get a pair of tats that measured probably 1"x 1" in total removed.
