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 don't know much about costs and I don't use coverup on my tats. I display mine just

The same.

Wish I could give you the help your looking for.

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

      Please consider joining us, even if it's just for a few minutes to see what the meetings are like. I've learned so much, had so much fun and gained confidence in myself just by being a part of this amazing group of people. It's a low key, no pressure, non-judgmental chance to just be among people who are supportive, understanding and affirming of each other.    I'm travelling out of state and still planning on dropping in for awhile.    Come see what it's like!!

      Thank you, Susan!! It was such an amazing experience for me. I can't remember if I even talked about it on a Zoom meeting.   Here is the link to the post I made about it. And, again, thank you for helping to give me the courage to do it.

      Good morning coffees   This probably doesn’t exactly apply to me because you wouldn’t have found a more shy and conservative person than me.  I was perhaps less shy before my sister started complaining about me doing things that were hers to do. And I would become embarrassed and that was the end of that.   upstairs unit got their typical weekend visitors in the middle of the night last night.  They woke me up.  They have little consideration for being in a condo community and the neighbors being in such close proximity.   @awkward-yet-sweet , how goes the job with your husband’s boss?  I don’t recall you saying much about it this week, but I could have missed a post along the way.  If I recall you were supposed to meet with him last Monday.   @KymmieL I hope you are feeling better.     Yes, I find it to be wrong that just because a car part says Ford or Chevrolet on the box that same part with Lincoln or Cadillac on the box cost a lot.more.  I know there are differences in the upscale brands such as the engine and drivetrain in the Caddy and of course the interior fit and finish.  But it’s the same body with things crammed in the same way under the hood.     well, time to finish my coffee, fix my hair and made my way across the street to work.    willow

      I read about her this morning. What a shame! She was beautiful and it seems she had a strong support system in place and could have had a wonderful life all to have it end like this. Such a waste. I truly hope the monster that killed her gets everything he deserves.

      They’re not going to stop anytime soon either. Tighten your belts folks were in for a long ride.

      I am so glad you enjoy them as well. The help things “stay put” so well. It got me through some of my most dysphoric times.   Wow, I hadn’t heard this at last week’s Zoom meeting if you had mentioned it. That is a huge milestone April Marie.I have no doubt that this confidence will only grow in time. The freedom of being yourself, especially in public, is a wonderful feeling. I am truly happy for you.😘   *Big Congratulatory Hug* Susan R🌷
