Tattoo removal or coverups

Back in the day i got a few tattoo's on my arms that now i wish i had never got. I havn't checked to see what the cost would be to remove them, but i could only guess that it would be costly. Question is; Does anyone else have or delt with this issue? What would be the most cost effective solution? I was thinking about getting them covered up, but there rather large and honestly dont want them there. What would be a good coverup tattoo if i must go that route?

This stuff is a tattoo coverup that a couple of people I know used to cover up tattoos between laser removal sessions. (gang related tatt's) I tried it for another blemish issue too, and it is OK. Best way though will be laser removal therapy.

I'm using wrecking balm to remove mine. So far I'm about 2 weeks into it and mine are fading away fast. Mine are all black ink as I hate color, if you want to use something at home that is rumored to work better and faster there is a site that I found thru Google that compares all of the at home removal systems.

Hope I could help.

I am undergoing laser removal of a three inch tattoo at this time. I have had three treatments with about 7 weeks between them to let my system get rid of the ink. Depending on how deep they are trying to target they can range from slight sting to a very high level of pain. I may need up to three more to finish the removal and at $125 a session it is going to cost me much more to get it off than it did to put it on.

Having mine removed cost more than ten times what it cost to put it on. :( That's what I get for trying to hang with the guys. Laser removal for mine hurt like <insert expletive here>. We alternated treating and icing or I wouldn't have gotten through it. I had several treatments and there are still spots that show if you're looking for them.

I was thinking the same thing. I am considering "Tattoo Erase" which is a German invention. Basically, they use a kind of tattoo pistol without ink, the ink replacement is a kind of natural substance (Kataderm) that triggers the skin to push the inkt out, just like a splinter.

Be sure to consult a dermatologist or your regular MD before using any technique that is not required to be administered or used by non medically trained person.

Planning on trying WreckingBalm myself

Was told at the very least it fades them enough to cover up easily

If nothing else it should mean fewer laser treatments
