Hi,

Yea, most removal methods are
painful and leave a scar.

However there is one method that
an Artist has (patented) that
doesn't do either one,
and it is cheap.

There are plenty of before and after photos of tattoo removal.
There is also a treatment by treatment slide show.
Here at tat2begone we use the Q-Switched laser, this laser is used to remove a tattoo without scaring.

You should try TatBGone. Its a pain-free tattoo removal system that you can use at home. Been using it for almost a year and my tattoo has been steadily fading away. I would give it a try before you spend all that money on laser...

Hey everyone, I'm using Tat B GOne also after a few laser treatments I did years ago. Have some scarring from the laser, but the Tat B Gone creams are really helping to fade away my tattoo. What a relief, I hate my stupid tattoo! Its already been 4 months and it looks like I will have to keep going for another few more. Oh well, def worth it.

Yes, tattoos can really be removed. Laser is the best way to go but is very expensive. There are several home tattoo removal products that work, although some work better than others.
WreckingBalm, Tatbgone, tattoo-off, Nuviderm and several others work. The first 3 are creams, one of which - WreckingBalm uses exfoliation along with the cream. The 4th product, Nuviderm is a TCA product and it works just fine. People who claim TCA doesn't work either sell a cream removal product or just flat don't know what they are talking about.

Tattoo removal does work for most people. But, the success of the procedure depends on 3 factors:

1) Location of the tattoo
2) Color of the tattoo
3) Skin tone of the individual.

Laser tattoo removal is the popular choice for removing tattoos.

I tried wrecking balm - did nothing. Wasted hundreds of dollars on a broken promise. The guy who sold it to me over the phone even talked me into buying a 6 month supply instead of a 2 month. What a jeerk!! I followed all the directions and used it religiously for 6 months with absolutely no change in my tattoo! I hope someones reads this and changes their mind about Wrecking Balm - its a waste of money.

Excellent article by Dr. Steven van Dyke discussing and comparing different tattoo removal creams; which work, which don't, etc.

I have a friend who is having a tattoo removed from her wrist. It is a simple black outline and she has had two treatments so far, spaced out six weeks apart. The tattoo is definitely fading! It’s pretty interesting how the removal process works and, although I hear that it stings a little, it’s much less painful and much faster than getting a tattoo (especially if you request a topical anesthetic to numb your skin)!

In the past, tattoos were removed using dermabrasion and minor surgeries that sometimes included grafting skin from other parts of the body. The process has come a long way, and today non-invasive “Q-Switched” lasers are used to break up pigment under the skin using high intensity light waves. If you are looking to have a tattoo removed, make sure the clinic you visit is using Q-switched lasers –these are the only lasers that remove tattoos. You should also check out: where you can get lots of information on the removal process. It’s important to make sure you are taking as much consideration when looking for tattoo removal service as you did when you got your actual tattoo!

I removed my tattoo in 5 weeks, my brother had laser and it was a nightmare so I decided to try RX-TATTOO and it works really well. No a fading cream. I apply it to my tattoo for 3 minutes then rinse well. I use the Dermaroller first then I apply the RX-TATTOO remover so it penetrate better, it sting a little, nut not much. I waited 8 days between treatment.

I’m not sure how safe a lot of the creams are. I’ve seen too many pictures of the chemical burns possible when the creams are badly made or misused. If possible, could someone link to pictures of a successful chemical tattoo removal? Also, are there creams for specific ink colors, if you only wanted to remove a background tattoo?

Although laser tattoo removal is expensive, the results are great if you go to the right place. I was looking at sites online, and this clinic ) seems to be able to erase different colors with different lasers.

Pain seems to be a guarantee, but I would rather get a specific treatment in a clinic than a more general one at home. If something goes wrong in a clinic, they’re responsible for fixing it. If you mess up a do-it-yourself treatment, you’re left with a nasty scar and a big hospital bill.
