Step 2:  read the thousands and thousands of results that tell you Laser Removal is generally the most common method that works

Answer 3

Tattoos are permanent.

There's an link for Wrecking Balm on one of the answers - don't be fooled, it doesn't work. There are 2 ways to remove a tattoo:

1, Surgery. Which will remove the art but leave you with a scar.

2, Laser removal. Which is more effective on some ink colours than others and could leave a scar in the shape of the design.

These are your only options, sorry.

Answer 4

might be cheaper to cover it with another tattoo

Answer 5

yeah they have a laser removal that you can do. Just beware if your tattoo has red in it they can't get rid of th red with the laser. I have friends who have had tattoos removed and they couldn't get rid of the red.

The lasers do leave scars....but you kow what they say....chicks dig scars

Answer 6

They remove it with the laser thing but it's expensive and it leaves a mark or a scar on your skin.

Answer 7

yeah you put your right foot in

you put your right foot out

you put your right foot in and you shake it all about

do that 5 times, then put your head down on a ball bat and spin around for a minute then if you can run in a straight line your tattoo magically falls off!!!!

you either cover it up with another one or you go have it removed via many sessions with a laser to break down the ink  

Answer 8

you could skin yourself.. haha but seriously, you can go and ask a tatooist for some advice..

Answer 9

Step 1

Choose a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon. Many tattoo parlors are getting into the tattoo removal business, but unfortunately, they are not equipped to handle medical issues that may arise.

Step2

Schedule a consultation with your doctor. Ask to see before and after pictures of tattoos he or she has removed to ensure experience in laser tattoo removals.

Step3

Prepare yourself for the cost of laser tattoo removal. The typical cost of one laser treatment is anywhere from $200 to $500 per session, and it may take up to 10 or more treatments, 6 to 8 weeks apart, to completely remove a professional tattoo.

Step4

Ensure that your doctor is using a Q-Switched laser for removal of tattoos. Your doctor will essentially trace your tattoo with this laser to heat up the ink.

Step5

Ask for general anesthesia if you are having a large tattoo removed. The laser treatment is bearable for a short period of time, but can become very uncomfortable during the removal of larger tattoos.

Step6

Wear loose-fitting clothing to your laser removal appointments if your tattoo is under clothing. Also, tattoos often bleed after treatments, so ask your doctor to cover the affected area with gauze to avoid staining your clothes.

Step7

Care for your tattoo after laser treatments with gentle cleaning and antibacterial ointment.

Tips & Warnings

    * Fair-skinned people with black or brown tattoos are more likely to achieve positive results. The laser targets the ink, rather than the skin, which minimizes the chance of scarring.

    * Most insurance companies do not cover the cost of tattoo removal, so be prepared to pay the entire cost.

Answer 10

the only way to really remove a tattoo is through expensive, painful laser treatments.  

if you don't want to or don't have the funds to go through that, you could get a cover-up if you don't like that particular tattoo.

if you don't want a tattoo at all, however, just invest in long sleeves.  it's permanent.

Answer 11

Laser removal. That's about $2000. Depending on the size.

Sandpaper. That's about $2.00.

Answer 12

Laser opeartion is costly and unsatisfactory. Use makeup concealer.

Answer 13

yeah.

they remove it with a lazer thing,

but then you will have a mark left that looks like a scar in the shape of whatever your tattoo was
