The simple answer to Does Home Tattoo Removal Work? is NO.

There are many reasons why DIY tattoo removal will not work, to understand why they are un effective it’s important to firstly understand your tattoo as this is what you want to have removed.

We all make mistakes in life, whether it was the petulance of youth or just a bad decision. The fact is you are now left with an unwanted tattoo.

A tattoo artist’s job is to give you a tattoo that will last a lifetime, to do this he must ensure that the tattoo won’t fade. To stop it from fading he places the ink pigment deep into your skin and this is the main reason why home based tattoo removal methods just cannot produce the effective results that are available through surgical tattoo removal methods.

For a DIY tattoo removal procedure to be effective it needs to be able to penetrate down to these deep layers of skin. Most of the tattoo removal creams lotions and balms are no more than a topical treatment. Though topical treatments may absorb into the skin they are designed to stay on the surface and because of this they will never penetrate deeply enough to help in the removal of your tattoo and that’s it, that is the only reason that these lotions won’t work for you.

It may sound harsh but the countless tattoo removal balms and creams are effectively the modern version of snake oil, they promised the world but in truth they deliver very little in the way of results and in most cases you will have already bought months’ worth of treatment before you realize how ineffective these methods really are.

Finding reviews of these creams on the Internet is not difficult, however the vast majority of these home tattoo removal reviews are false and they are only there to try and buy these products so the owners of the site can make a commission. In effect they are working of your need to have a tattoo removed.

Of the many varieties of tattoo removal cream on the market today you will find that some do not even list their ingredients on the bottle, of the manufacturers that do list their creams ingredients of which include everything from plant extract to Algae and seaweed extract. Though these are natural ingredients their effectiveness in removing a tattoo has to be highly questionable. Thankfully these are the less damaging ingredients, some manufacturers use a long list of corrosive and abrasive ingredients which have lasting effects on the skin including disuse damage and scarring.

What may be most worrying of all is that on the date of writing this article the FDA has not approved one of the many forms of tattoo removal balms that are available on the market today, I believe that this is among the most damming evidence that tattoo removal balm DOES NOT WORK.

You may still think that these creams are cheap and worth trying they are not a 1 off payment and the cost of these treatment kits will soon mount of up and it will be months before you realize that you have effectively wasted you money, money that could have been spent on a tattoo removal procedure that does yield results.

I hope I have dispelled some myths, but the fact is that you are still left with an unwanted tattoo, the question now is what are the other forms of DIY tattoo removal and can you produce more effective results>

Do The other Home Tattoo Removal Remedies Work?

The remaining removal methods are all based around the idea of Dermabrasion tattoo removal, please follow the link to find out more.

Dermabrasion

Dermabrasion can be performed either manually or with a high speed instrument, ( electrical sanders have been used, watch the video below). The aim here is to sand or rub away the layers of skin until you finally reach the layer that contains the tattoo pigment. The method is extremely painful and was commonly endured until new tattoo removal methods were introduced. It can however produce results, but this will depend on how deep in your skin the ink pigment is placed and the level of pain you can injure, but the chances of being left with permanent scar tissue are very high. It is also important to remember that you will need multiple treatments, each more painful than the last. It is also inevitable that you will be left with some scars and damage to your skin tissue. This is a cheap form of tattoo removal but should the damage you are doing to your body out way the cost involved in having your tattoo removed?

Saline injections and dermabrasion.

Before the introduction of more reliable forms of tattoo removal, a saline injection was injected into the tattooed area, this begun the process of breaking the tattoo pigment down which helped to make the dermabrasion process more effective. Injecting a saline into your body is not advisable; this should be done by a professional that can properly judge the dosage and also the depth of the tattoo in the skin. DO NOT try this yourself.

If you are looking for an effective remedy for tattoo removal at home, none exist. With all the tattoo removal methods that I have outlined about the downsides outweigh the results and effectiveness of each tattoo removal method. Even if you are desperate to get rid of your unwanted tattoo but surgical methods are to expensive and for many are but having your tattoo removed surgically either by laser or IPL ( Intense Light pulse) are the only effective removal methods

Getting a Tattoo for the first time seems, for many like a rite of passage,  a way to tell the world that I’m grown up now I can make my own decisions and do what I want with my life and my body Well that’s what I thought before I got my first tattoo, but it didn’t take too long before I realised I had made a big MISTAKE. It didn’t take me long to realise that what I had done will be with me for the rest of my life.

So what made me change my mind about this new tattoo, well a number of factors, I didn’t plan it properly, it just didn’t sit on my skin right, the tattoo artist wasn’t as good as I thought and didn’t produce the quality of tattoo that I wanted. So now I was faced with a dilemma that thousands of other people face, how to get rid of an unwanted tattoo.

There are a host of tattoo removal options available and I spent months researching and learning about these different methods and trying to find the best tattoo removal options and this was how this site was born. Before I started building a list of all the possible tattoo removal methods I first had to answer a number of burning questions about the different processes and what  was involved and I’m guessing that if you found my site you are asking yourself the exact same questions.

These are the questions I needed to try and find answers for:

• Tattoo removal cost (I was just out of college, so wasn’t exactly flush).
• Will it hurt (getting the tattoo was just about bareable, so how much will it hurt to have it taken off).
• Will the tattoo be completely removed, or will I be left with scars or some blotchy marks on my skin.
• Are there any health risks involved, I don’t want a tattoo but if it means ending up in hospital I could live with it on my skin.
• Do I need to have my tattoo removed by a specialist or is there some DIY or at home tattoo removal options available?

Well those are the questions that were burning in my head before I started on what would prove to be a long and interesting journey in the world of tattoo removal.

Pretty early on it was clear that the different tattoo removal options can be broken into 2 distinct categories, surgical tattoo removal and “at home tattoo removal” or DIY tattoo removal. As you can guess the first option is going to cost you if you decide to get a specialist involved and because of my lack of funds I decided to start my research with the home tattoo removal methods. Now as I had decided to research the DIY methods and even though it would prove a cheaper option this was counter balanced by the level of pain that would have be endured,  it wasn’t a compromise I was willing to make but as I could not afford the surgical methods I was left with very little choice.

Jolie’s tattoo woes began when she had her ex husband’s name Billy Bob Thornton tattooed above a dragon on her arm.

For the unaware, Angelina was wife to Billy Bob for about three years, and as the marriage came to its end in 2002, she started the laser tattoo removal of Billy Bob’s moniker that is prominently displayed on her sleeveless arm.

The unwanted name was not removed – either the laser treatments were not effective or she did not undergo the needed number of treatments. To put out of sight the last reminder of his failed relationship with Billy Bob, Angelina chose a cover up tattoo.

Yes, tattoo removal treatments are expensive. In addition, multiple treatments are needed to totally remove the tattoo. However, if an ordinary income earner could afford the cost of laser tattoo removal, for sure Angelina can. It’s a puzzle why she opted to cover up the remainder of the tattooed name when she could very well afford to complete the needed tattoo removal tre4atments.

Based on photos showing her upper arm, Angelina chose as cover up design a list of the Latitudes and Longitudes of the places where her children were born.

I have never liked the idea of having someone else’s name tattooed on oneself. However, what would you think of a cover up design that is just as silly as the unwanted tattoo?

Some of her tattoos include Shakespeare quotations, Taoist symbols and Marilyn Monroe. Her collection of tattoos has always been questioned, but her latest addition to her collection has made celebrity spotters confused.

Her confusing tattoo extends her right flank from the back of her rib-cage up to the tip of the hip. The quote says, “Those who danced were thought to be quite insane by those who could not hear the music.” It sounds mysterious, but if the line is inscrutable, the poet who wrote it is even more unfathomable. According to a tabloid, the quote is from a not-so-popular poet, Angela Monet, if you try to search her in Google, you will not find her, she does not appear to exist.

The staff at the Poetry Society confirmed that they have never heard of a poet by that name. The head of the librarian, Chris McCabe of the Poetry Library, said that the mysterious poet has no record in the database of the library; however, he said that it could possibly be that Angela Monet uploaded the said quotation to a quotes website and it was mistakenly accredited to her. According to McCabe, it happens quite often. There are people who think that the line must be inspired from a verse from the 13th-century Sufi mystic Rumi, which goes, “We rarely hear the inward music, but we’re all dancing to it nevertheless.” McCabe also has another lead, he said that it could be from Nietzsche, but Dr. Christopher Hamilton of King’s College London and an expert on Nietzche does not think so, according to him, he does not recall reading it in Nietzche, and it does not even sound like Nietzche, so the it only means that the mystery of Megan Fox’s tattoo even gets more mysterious.

Based on Warner’s statement, people are not buying pieces of goods from them; they are buying a piece of art, so how can these lawmakers tax a piece of art?

In addition, sales tax on tattoos could potentially hurt his business and could discourage customers from getting tattoos.

These people also worked hard to earn their money, according to Warner, people already pay so much taxed to the government, he added.

A growing number of American adults are getting used to the pain brought by that little pokes made by the tool in tattooing.

The procedure of laser tattoo removal could take about 5-15 sessions, six weeks in between the session. During the procedure the ink pigments break loose each time the pulses of light from the later is used, the body will then naturally clear the ink away, according to the associate director of the Laser and Skin Surgery Center of Northern California.

However, the procedure could now get done fast because the creators of InfinitInk claimed that their product appear and performs like the traditional tattoo ink, the only difference is that theirs can be removed by laser three times faster than the traditional ink. This process is very much ideal because you can easily make up your mind and decide to go through a removal procedure right away without the fear from the pain, according to Chotzen.

Wild Bill Hill, a tattoo artist from Roseville believe that the product could be ideal for tattoo removal, however, it is not the case for those people who expect that their tattoo is something permanent. He admitted that it had caught his attention when he first learn about it and made a lot of research about it, but he wants to make sure that it will be around the market for a while and he wants to make sure that it is something proven to be able to learn if it is permanent.

Based on the official website of the InfinitInk’s, they have already tried the product, 40 people have tested it. Still, a lot of artists are still waiting to see some of the side effects that the ink will have, before they tried the ink on their customers.

Will Bill say that, artist like him, should have to learn first how long the ink going to last does?

InfinitInk only comes in black color, and this easy to erase ink can only be avail at two of the tattoo shops in California, and these are in Winn Tattoos in La Jolla and 264 Customs in West Hollywood.

Nathan, said that he loves LA, and that the tattoo parlor was cool, he was there for a couple of weeks and all he felt was good.

Customer are not all like Nathan, a lot of people who have had their tattoos will eventually want to have them removed. Back then, the procedure of removing tattoos are not that tasteful and fun, according to Dr. Tattoff of Beverly Hills and one of its employees, Ian Kirby.

If ever you decide to remove your tattoo, there are some people who would try to remove your tattoo; the way the bazooka does, so it will leave you with such a terrible scar. You may also choose dermabrasion; this procedure involves scrubbing the tattoo off with the help of the wire brush. Another way of removing tattoo is through excision, where the skin with the tattoo is cut off and the patches of skin is stitched back together, however, this procedure could produce some ghastly scar.

According to Kirby, laser tattoo removal can remove the tattoo without harming the skin. Try to think of a pigment that which is about the size of a marble beneath your skin and your body is not able to naturally get rid of the pigment due to its big size, the laser will then try to smash down that pigment into tiny bits of pieces to make it easy for your body to remove.

In the year 2009, Dr. Tattoff has finished fourteen thousand tattoo removal procedures. His patients include fourteen-year old and eighty-seven year old. Most of his patients were female between the ages of eighteen and thirty-four. There was someone who was very fresh out of jail, a USC student and even a customer who just had his tattoo some few hours, all these patients have one thing in common, and they all want a new beginning.

Getting a tattoo, is more than getting a new hairdo, having your nails done, getting some new apartment, it is a new lease on life, it will make you feel like a renewed person, according to Dr. William Kirby, a dermatologist, which is the brother of Dr. Kirby. Dr. Kirby even emphasized that some of the reasons are ex-lovers names, fraternity letters, and barbed wire tattoos which are considered as ever-so-trendy; however, there are tattoos that are even intense among the others.

According to Dr. Kirby, he is a big Willie Nelson fan, and there was even one time when he had seen the face of Willie Nelson located on the private area of a woman, the pubic hair of the woman was made to look as the beard of Willie Nelson.

The success of the tattoo removal will basically depend on various reasons such as the location, and the color. According to experts, the closer the tattoo is to the heart the easier it can be removed, this is because of the increased blood flow. Dr. Kirby even told that there are many of his patients like the owner of the Electric Body Tattoo, for instance who will have the area o his or her skin cleared just to be able to have another tattoo placed on the same area. If there is an increased in the laser tattoo removal places, it also means that the business for tattoo parlors will be booming. Once laser tattoo removal treatments increase, there will also be an increased in the revenue for tattoo parlors. There are numbers of people today who will often try removing their tattoo, because they do not like it anymore and then have it replaced with a new one. This story was reported by Michelle LaRue of the Annenberg Radio.
