Removing a tattoo is not easy work. But there are a number of options that you have if you are looking into tattoo removal. I hope this article will give you a better understanding of the options that you have and which method of tattoo removal is right for you.

Laser Tattoo Removal

Most people today that want a tattoo removed go this route. The way that this procedure works is a laser targets the tattoo ink and breaks it up into smaller pieces. Then over time, your immune system will automatically break up the pieces into even smaller pieces until it is no longer visible.

This procedure can sometimes take several treatments before the tattoo is gone. There are also several risks with this kind of procedure including scarring and blistering. Although this procedure has gotten better over time. You should talk with your doctor to explore this procedure further.

Covering Up a Tattoo

Covering up a tattoo with another tattoo is one of the easiest ways to get rid of a tattoo that you don’t want or don’t like. You should tell your tattoo artist that you want to cover up an existing tattoo with a new one. They should then be able to help you design and shape the new tattoo design so that it completely covers up the old tattoo.

Tattoo Removal Cream

There are numerous tattoo removal creams that you can buy online, but it is unclear how effective these creams are. One doctor states that they may be able to slightly fade a tattoo, but can’t completely remove it. So for large tattoos, you should definitely look into the laser tattoo removal. If you have a very small or thin tattoo, a tattoo removal cream may be a good idea to fade it out. There hasn’t really been any good scientific studies on the effectiveness of these creams, so you shouldn’t expect it to be a silver bullet in getting rid of a tattoo.
