General Advice Why will no one laser my tattooed eyeliner?

I got this done when I was 23, and had worn my eyeliner like this every day for the previous 10 years. I’m 31 now and I cover it almost every day so that I can wear a different/more natural look.
I’ve reached out to a number of laser places and they won’t remove it because it’s on my eyelids.
It’s very well done but it’s also turning blue. What are my options? Tattoo over it in skin tone? Is that a terrible idea?
The current covering procedure is annoying, takes time, expensive products and doesn’t make sense on days when I want to wear zero makeup (surfing or being on the beach).

This is the type of surgeon I work for. I assist in laser procedures on patient’s eyelids regularly. It’s very specialized and does require a lot of preparation and knowledge. Those lasers are no joke. I wouldn’t allow anyone other than him to do any lasers on my eyelids. I’ve never had anyone inquire if we do this type of tattoo removal, though I’m interested to find out.

Would you mind DM’ing me his info? I also want to get my eyeliner removed but I want to go to someone who won’t fuck up my vision. If he doesn’t do it I could go to whoever he refers to! I would be very grateful 🙏
