thinking about getting my one of my tattoos removed

[AntheaHolmes]

five years ago I had a bit of a rough time (will not go deeper into this - too private) and I got spontaneous tattoos with "higher" meanings behind them, self love & family related...but at another tattoo artist than my regular one and like I said very spontaneous!!! 

not long after I got them, I started to regret one in particular... it's my star sign constellation....I love astronomy but somehow this tattoo is just a bit too big and on the wrong place on my body and I can't get a good connection with it...so I decided to consult a specialist and think about a laser removal. I know it costs a lot but I had more than one breakdown because of said tattoo and I want to feel happy again, so I take the pain and invest the money and just eat spaghetti and tomato sauce if I have to...well I have a consultation appointment first and then I will see if I like the doctor and all. 

 

Do you have experience with tattoo removal? Let me know. Thanks.

Have you considered getting it changed to something else?

No, actually not. I really don't like the body part it's on (my calve) and it's pretty close to a tattoo that I like (my legs side), a cover up will not be a wise choice.

no I haven''t but a friend has had hers removed I don't know exactly what she used it was some kind of cream stuff she rubbed it on her tattoo's and they faded and disappeared no pain or huge expense I can try to ask around for whatever she used and see if you can use it instead. if I can find out and you can get it then you won't go through the pain and expense of lazer surgery I'm planning on getting a few tattoos myself but the ones I want to get are not spur of the moment their important I won't go into them here um will try to find out what she used and let you know as soon as I can.

yeah my friend (in fact soon to be an adopted sister Kelly) had some serious tattoos, she had her entire one arm covered in flowers and the other a massive cobra with the head and hood on the back of her left hand and it wound round her entire arm to the back of her shoulder blade she's had both removed using this cream stuff she just rubbed it on the skin and the tattoos faded to nothing

she says she used something called "wrecking balm" but pointed out that just cause it worked for her doesn't mean it will for everyone. according to the web and FDA the creams don't work at all but hers are gone and that's all she used according to her. so I told you'd I'd ask Kelly and I did if the Wrecking balm doesn't work then I guess try the laser treatment. still that's what she used whether or not the ink is still in her system deep down in the skin or not we don't know, it doesn't show on the surface of the skin so also keep that in mind. Good luck AntheaHolmes

Thanks for asking your friend. I think I'll stick to the laser treatment. Still much appreciated.

your welcome yeah Kelly's tattoo's have completely disappeared... whether or not their actually gone entirely is hard to say but there is no sign of them outwardly... now if only we could do the same for her temper lol
