I have this tatoo with my oldest daughters name..then I had another daughter so i decide to get another. I wasnt payin attention and by the time the dude was done the new tat is 4X the other one.. looks like I like my new baby better…stupid decision. Anyway now I want them both off. I am jealous of ppl without any! So I am wondering for anyone who has actually tried the products do the creams work? What did you use or recommend? PERMANENT REMOVAL not just to cover up! I would love to avoid the lasers!! PLease only answer if you actually know. I have read plenty of info and I am skeptical!
Reports on cremes, here & elsewhere that don’t have ties to the companies that make the creams, support your skepticism. At best, it would seem, they fade the tattoo – and unevenly at that.
This makes sense, at least on the surface. The epidermis blocks all sorts of things from getting into your body – bacteria, dirt, etc – as well as keeping things inside there – blood, tissues, and tattoos. Crossing that barrier is possible but fraught with peril. How do you design a chemical that attacks only the tattoo ink, already encapsulated under the skin, without affecting other parts of the body? Even a mild reaction could be devastating.
If you want real removal, it looks like laser is your best & only bet barring excision. In both cases there is the risk of scarring or at least some evidence that something was once there.
