Wrecking balm on a just below 4 months old tattoo, would it work?
Friday, December 11th, 2009I got my first tattoo just 4 months ago, and now I regret it. One being the fact that I got it in a very nice spot, my hand! I’m being sarcastic.
I’ve heard that wrecking balm does not work, it only fades the tattoo. But being that my tattoo is fairly new, wouldn’t it work better on me than on someone who has had their tattoo for years?
Wrecking balm does not work at all, even in fading tattoos. One of the main ingredients is salicylic acid, which if you do some research, is the active ingredient in acne products. So wrecking balm will help keep your new, unwanted tattoo acne free, but it wouldn’t do anything to make it go away. And if it did have any effect on "new" tattoos, 4 months old is healed, so it really wouldn’t matter…in fact it would be harder to remove than an older tattoo, due to factors like fading.
