A member asked:
When removing the birth control implant how big will the incision be? and will there be any damage to the implant if i were to tattoo over it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Small: The incision to remove the implant will be very small, about 1/2 to 1 cm. The implant is very superficial so I wouldn't recommend getting a tattoo over it
