I was surfing the net and found this article on Tattoo Removal Creams that I found interesting. It’s a more sophisticated article talking about how the creams actually remove the tattoo, but I find it worth sharing.

After doing research on the author I find that I’m not the only one that thinks that Wrecking Balm is the bee’s knees of Tattoo removal creams. So be sure to check them out!

Start the article now…

Tattoo Removal is quickly becoming a very popular search item on the internet. This is because now more than ever, a topical tattoo removal cream can actually fade and help erase unwanted tattoos. Years ago, the only viable option to get rid of a tattoo was to spend thousands of dollars on laser treatments or by going to the doctor and having them remove the tattoo surgically by either a skin graft or Dermabrasion. Unfortunately, both the laser treatment option as well as the surgical procedures were not only extremely expensive, but were also extremely painful as well which is why those with unwanted tattoos gave up and either covered their bad tattoo with another less bad tattoo or were forced to wear make-up everyday to cover it.

Fast forward a few years to today and now those with unwanted tattoos have a much more affordable and painless option: using an OTC tattoo removal cream. These creams contain skin bleaching or skin peeling agents and over time will force the deepest injected inks of the tattoo to the surface thus fading or helping erase the unwanted tattoo. Of course, there is still the possibility of laser treatments and surgery; however, these options are still painful and still extremely expensive.

Not all Tat Removal Creams are Created Equal

Now that you are aware that using a tattoo removal cream can help get rid of an unwanted tattoo, it is important to distinguish between the numerous products on the market. The first thing you will want to look at is what ingredients were used in each product. Some tattoo removal creams contain TCA (Trichloroacetic Acid). TCA is a skin peeling agent that will basically burn off the top layers of the skin. Using this ingredient does present some risk which is why it is typically used in the presence of a trained medical or skin care professional.

The other tattoo removal creams and gels contain proven skin lightening ingredients and will tell you to use an exfoliating pad in conjunction with the product. This method is less risky than using a tat removal cream that contains TCA. Of course, no one product is superior as each option has both negative and positive traits. For example, using a removal cream that does not rely on TCA will take longer to produce satisfactory results but will present less risk to your health and skin.

In conclusion, as previously stated, using an over the counter tattoo removal cream can fade and help erase an unwanted tattoo in addition to being the most cost effective way to get rid of a tattoo.

As soon as I turned 18 I raced out to get my first tattoo never thinking that I would want to get it removed. I ‘knew’ exactly who I was at that age, and the tattoo I got proved it! (boy was I stupid)…

So needless to say you’re wanting to get a tattoo removed, and I’m going to take you on a journey revealing how I did it fast…

Removing tattoos has def come a long way since the day my father chugged whiskey, and pulled out the wood burner set. (no i’m not kidding)

It can even be done from the safety and privacy of your own home with some of the more popular tattoo removal creams… (or you can do the modern day equivalent of whiskey and a wood burner kit by choosing laser removal options… Ouch!)

Let’s take a closer look at some of the tat removal options you can choose from, and then the cost associated with each…

Tattoo Removal Creams -  (i.e. Wrecking Balm)

Sure beats the heck out of the surgical options you used to have to choose. Skin grafts? Dermabrasions? Screw that! Not only are they dreadfully expensive and painful, they’re unnecessary. The best part about using tattoo removal creams is that they simply work, they don’t require a prescription, and they are the cheapest of all tattoo removal options.

These topical creams use skin bleaching and/or peeling agents, which over time will force the deepest injected inks of the tattoo to be erased. Don’t be fooled! Lasers aren’t any quicker. You still have to get up to 12 treatments on a tat that’s only about 5 years old.

One of the most powerful tattoo removal creams on the market to date is Wrecking Balm, and that’s the one I use too. It breaks down the ‘ink injected skin cells’, and then utilizes your body’s natural ability to heal and regenerate itself with healthy, new, ink-free skin cells. Safely, naturally, and pain free!

I would highly recommend checking out Wrecking Balm. It’s awesome!

How Does Laser Tattoo Removal Work?

This is kinda cool when you stop and think about how tattoos are removed by lasers. First, the lasers produce short pulses of light that are supposed to pass harmlessly through the top layers of skin, and be absorbed by the tattoo pigment itself. In result the pigment of the tattoo is supposed to fragment into smaller particles awaiting the removal by the body’s immune system.

There has supposedly been a lot of research that went into determining which wavelengths of light to use, and the best way to use the lasers output to remove the tattoo ink optimally.

Well that sounds good right? The only problem I can see with laser tattoo removal is the money and pain! That’s right! Have you never seen the videos of people screaming in pain as the lasers pierce the skin trying to get to the ink-stained skin cells? If not here’s a video…

The average cost for one session of laser treatment is $200 – $400. Most people that choose laser tattoo removal have one average 7-10 sessions. That’s a lot of money for something that can still lead to scarring don’t you think?

How Much Does Tattoo Removal Cost?

Like I said above, the average cost for ONE secession of laser treatments is $200 – $400. You could easily dish out $1-5k just to get one average sized tattoo removed, BUT if you simply decide to go with tattoo removal creams, then you won’t be paying anywhere near that for the same effect.

You can get the entire tattoo removed for less than $150 one time, which is probably a lot less than the tattoo even cost to get!

So I would definitely recommend at least trying that route first, because many of the products that I’ve used gave me a free trial so that I didn’t risk a thing. I could use the product, and if it didn’t work for me then I wasn’t out a single dime.

THERE IS NO SUCH THINK AS FREE TRIAL WITH LASERS!

So in conclusion, (if you haven’t guessed it by now), try one of the removal creams (i.e. Wrecking Balm) first to get your tattoo removed.
