do you think putting several piercings in a baby or even a tattoo is ok? »

What is the best way to remove or fade a new tattoo ?

My boyfriend just got 2 tattoos today and it kinda messed up. It’s 2 stars which one is small and one is medium and he doesn’t really like it. It’s just inked. It’s not colored or anything. It’s just lined.

I’d like him to remove it so I’d like to know of any creams, remedies..etc or anything that can remove it or at least fade it since it’s new and fresh.

If anything he’ll just remove the 2 stars by getting laser surgery but would like to know if there are any other ways.

I have been removing one for the past 7 weeks and it is 98% gone pictures showing progress at

    YOU want him to remove it? it is his choice, and he shouldnt have walked out dissatisfied. You couldnt tell that it was going to be bad by the stencil? Is this a reputable place?

    Laser removal would be the best, but I heard there’s something called fade cream (I’m sure you can find it by googling tattoo fade cream) I guess it doesn’t get rid of it but it fades it over a long time. I also heard if you take one of those pumice stones (after it’s healed) and gently but firmly rub the entire area for a bit each day it will eventually go away.. Using neosporin or something with antibiotics on it during the healing I think would help too cause the guy who did my tattoo said not to use that cause it is meant to pull the foreign objects from your skin.
    Also, I accidentally pulled a scab off of my tattoo and the ink underneath was all faded and gone in some spots so I guess if it scabs up he could pick it off but I wouldn’t suggest that cause then it would have star shapes scars.

    If there were other ways, then people wouldn’t spend the money or go through the pain of laser removal.

    It’d probably be cheaper for him to go get it covered by a skilled artist.
