was just wondering if anyone had actually tried wrecking balm for the removal of tattoos.... i heard that it only lightens the tattoo, making it more obvious but have also read about it being miraculous... would like to hear from someone who had actually tried it or knows someone who has.... want to remove a large black tattoo and someone recommended i try this... any side effects? effectiveness? etc... please help. thanks rettyplease:
Yr not gonna be able to get rid of a large black tattoo with wrecking balm. Yr probably gonna have a hard time getting rid of it with laser removal.
so i should advise a cover-up then, by the sounds of it... thankfully, not my tattoo. trying to advise my daughter. cheers for the comment.
Some people just have to be cunts on here, when there is really no need. I would recommend laser treatment.
thanks Luketrials... can i ask why you recommend a laser rather than a cover-up? doesn't laser treatment leave a whitish scar or has tech moved on? :cheers2:
Well, I'm not going to pretend to be an expert but no matter what you do you will have some mark left. While covering it up is good and all your going to have to constantly do that forever.. seems a waste of time and money. Then you have the issues of (if you are using make up) it rubbing off onto clothes and what have you. Although a laser will leave a slight scar, there is a product called bi-oil which reduces the appears of scars over time. Don't forget, scars do naturally fade over time aswel. Personally, I would cover it up until I get laser treatment.
Oh, she can definitely get a coverup. Find a good artist, and you can get rid of just about anything. Solid black is hard to cover up, unless it's covered with a larger solid black. But that's all dependent on the artist. Picture of the tattoo?
cheers toolmaggot... she won't let me photo her back, but it's about 10"x 9" and it's mainly an outline of two Lillies with leaves with bad shading.... the lines have bled, but the composition is good.... i think a cover-up sounds like the best solution so far... she let a friend practice on her...
That should be easy to cover up, especially if she likes the idea, just not the quality. They can make it bigger, and sharpen the lines, incorporate them into the newer piece, make the faded stuff look like more shading, like it was supposed to be there. She should talk to some artists, look at other coverups they've done, and I'm sure she can work with them to do something she likes.
