Tattoo Removal

Anyone know how to get rid of a tattoo other than laser treatments?

I have heard of some stuff called "wrecking balm" but not sure if it genuinely works. I have a tatty I am not fond of anymore, and want to get it covered with something better, was pondering buying some of that stuff to see if it would fade it so I dont have to cover it with something too big.

There's a way I know of, but it sounds like hurts. If it's a small tat, they can cut a football-shape piece of skin out, and stitch it together. That works great on something like an inch by 2 inches, but bigger than that would be a different story. A good doc can make the scar near invisible, and it's done with novocaine.

I've used TCA (Trichloroacetic Acid) on one of my tattoos. Its a skin pealing agent. I've done the process maybe 4 times on one tattoo and seemed to begin lightening the tat. But havent done anymore. I'd just save the money and time and go for the laser.

that is the same procedure used for scar revision. for a small tatt that should work well, bugt how many people looking to get rid of tatts are small ones.

i have three tatts. one is quite big. i wisely put them in areas that can be easily covered with short sleeves. tatts are cool but when you get older you might not want them in such visible areas, including forearms.

I heard the wrecking balm cream really works.

Not I. I have one that is my entire back!

I have a friend that's been using wrecking balm on his tat. It does work, however, it's very expensive and it takes a looong time. Another option is getting it covered by an even bigger tattoo.
