i know you said you didnt want to get them lasered off but thats the only way it is costley thought and my uncle had one of his tattoos removed and he said it was painful the first time but then when he went back for a second treatment he got a pain killer and it helped. so i recomend getting a pain killer if you go the laser rout.

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.

I heard and seen that the creams just fade the tat, there isn’t anything out there that is going to remove it. Plus its kind of expensive if you were to ask me to buy it…if it was that simple then everyone would be buying up that cream! LOL I know you don’t want to hear it but the laser is the way to go unless you want to add to the first childs name ya know?

Only the Laser's work for permanent tattoo removal. It is very painful, but it does work.

Permenant tatoo's are...permanent. The tatoo needle puts the ink UNDER your skin. The only way to remove it is to get that ink out of there, meaning a medical process such as the laser removal is needed.

The only removal I’ve ever heard of that works is the laser. I have also heard that it is terribly painful and doesn’t fully remove the ink.

If you decide to keep it…..maybe you could get some fancy stuff around the first daughter’s name and leave the other plain with just her name to balance out the size difference.
