In Ink
It is time for the tattoo to go! I have a small, 3" x 3" colorful tattoo that needs to be removed. Do you know where I can go to have this done? I'm willing to travel from Miami Beach to the Coral Gables/South Miami area (or further if someone is fantastic). If you can share your experience with the process as well, I would really appreciate it.
