Tattoo removal questions?
I worked for medical practice and assisted with laser tattoo removal treatments. Most patients were unhappy with it for different reasons. The type of ink and whether it was professionally designed or amateur are factors with removal. Honestly, there is no quick magic trick to make the tattoos disappear (believe me I wish there was). My brother asked me for the same advice - although he wants to fade current tattoo to have a cover-up tat done. I recommended he use WreckingBalm vs laser. From experience if used consistently it works and costs much less then laser and does not hurt. Laser works but again can be costly and timely. Make sure doctor has several lasers and has the one that removes the colors in your tattoo as no single laser exists that removes all ink colors.

Another option might be to get it covered up
Reply:1. Laser tattoo removal.... can cost $1000's and leaves bad scarring





2. Tat Gone Ink...and yes it does work. I have one on myself that was done, took 4 sessions on a solid black and red tattoo and it is gone and ready for my chest piece to be started. Tat Gone Ink is tattooed onto the tattoo through the same method as getting a regular tattoo. The Tat Gone Ink attaches itself to the ink in the tattoo and as it heals turns to a "clay like" substance and pulls the ink out of the tattoo as it scabs and pulls itself from the tattoo. Basically you're body is rejecting the Tat Gone Ink and along with it the ink of the tattoo being removed. It looks horrible for a couple of weeks while it is coming out of the skin and scabbed over, but once the scabbing is gone, you can tell a difference immediately. Some can be completely removed in just a couple of sittings depending on how well the original tattoo was done, what the colors are,etc. It doesn't cost much more than getting a tattoo either, and the scarring compared to laser removal is very very minimal.





3. Dermabrasion, but I would not recommend this route to even my worst enemy as the scarring from it is horrible, it is extremely painful during healing, and doesn't always work without causing excessive damage to the skin. Dermabrasion is one of the ways that I do scarification, and the tattoo removal version of it is not much different at all...a dremel like tool is used with a "sanding bit" more or less and the skin is sanded off. This causes friction burns in the process which is why it does not bleed much because it pretty much cauterizes it as it sands.
Reply:is it because you dont like the tattoo anymore?? because if that is so, why dont you just get a cover up tattoo, it is where you get a different tattoo that you will love to have the rest of your life. and they wont leave a scar and as painful as the removal. and wont cost as much!! good luck
Reply:Please don't listen to people who tell you to cover it up with another Tattoo. This plan usually just means more pain and suffering, and a larger tattoo that you will eventually wish you didn't have.
