Nope, just the lazer treatment will take it away.

you can’t remove a tattoo, they are permanent and there for life. laser is your only option beside getting it covered with another tattoo

Sorry hun, nothing will take your tattoo away besides the lasers. There are websites that try to sell cream, or lotion, or I even heard of someone putting something in ink, and tattooing over your tattoo, and whatever it is they put in the ink is supposed to get in there and dissolve the ink.. But its just a scam. Its like buying a DVD from Ebay, and getting a case with no movie inside.. Just a scam.. You can always get it covered with something more meaningful?

I don’t know how much laser surgery costs, but it’s the only way to remove a tattoo. I’d seriously suggest saving up the money to get it removed, though. Try saving as much money as you can, and putting it all in a savings account that gets you some interest on your money. You’ll feel much better when you get your tattoo removed, so it’s definitely worth the money once you have enough saved. Hope this helps, and good luck!

Cover it up with another one you like now. Go to a good tattoo artist and ask what can be done.
Good Luck

I’d like to add that laser treatment isn’t the miracle people think it is. Usually, there’s some light pigmentation left and it’s common for it to leave some pretty nasty scars. Laser treatment will usually lighten most things up enough to widen your options of a cover up.
Tattoos are pretty darn permanant.
You could always try taking a cheese grater to it.

My aunt got a really dumb tattoo of a skull when she was in her teen years at a party, and she got hers covered up with a really beautiful purple rose. It looks amazing and you would never know that there was a different tattoo there!

sorry,
as you could have found out by using the Search Bar, creams/lotions do not work.

If you are willing to go bigger and a bit darker some artists can do a wonderful job of covering toattoos. especially if it is old and fading. I just got a two year old tat that I hated covered up and it looks great now and i love it. Good luck

if you cant do the laser surgury,
then you could scrap the skin off little at a time,
depending on how fast your skin growns back i guess.
it would take a looooong time, be veeerrrryyy painful,
and you would have a yuckie looking scare in place of the
tattoo.
good luck,

no, the ink is injected under your skin. the only way to remove it is to get laser surgery and that is going to cost you a ton of money.

It’s pretty much permanent like everyone says unless you can afford laser surgery.
My fiance is in the process of getting hers removed via laser. It’s costing us $2000 for a 2" tall by 1.5" wide area (3 sq. in) over 5 treatments. It works but it’s a lot of effort and money.
Before opting for laser removal we researched the shit out of the creams, home remedies, etc… and found that they would only fade a tattoo and not remove it. Laser isn’t even 100% effective for everyone.
It seems that the only people telling you that the cream works are the ones that are only interested in selling it to you.
Also… don’t trust anyone that can’t spell "laser"
