My daughter had a small date put on her wrist just 2 months ago.

Is it too soon to have this procedure?

She can start treatments at this stage. WE can remove a brand new tattoo (within days of application) or then have to wait until 6 weeks. She will be fine.

Two months is plenty of time for the healing process, so it's fine to move forward with the removal at this point.

After 3 months is a safe time, as long as healing is completed inside the skin.
