I’ve had a tiny white star on the inside of my left wrist for a year. I decided I wanted something a little bit more noticeable, but still discreet. After a few months of thinking, I decided to cover up the white star with a slightly larger (about the size of a dime), pink star that is filled in. I’ve only had it for 48 hours, and I already dislike it. I thought it was going to be much more discreet than it is, and as a college student majoring in education, I am now very worried about my job options. What do you think I should do? I’ve already researched removal, but I am just not sure. Is it harder to remove a newer tattoo or an older one? And is pink pigment tougher to remove or easier? Will it possibly fade? If you can answer any of these questions, I would greatly appreciate it!

I know i should get a consultation, but the closest clinic that does it is over 4 hours away. just wondering if there is anyone who can tell me approximately how much it’ll be. I am in rural U.S. but Canada prices will probably be o.k. too, just please specify.

my tattoo is under a year old and done "professionally" (i say this because the ‘professional’ that did it did a terrible job, and i sort of think they learned through other means). it is an 10"x6" ovular shape on my upper arm, and the majority of that space is covered by ink. approx. 20% is black ink, 20% red ink, 10% ’seafoam’ green, and 50% blue ink.
thanks in advance, and if you can truly give me a well-educated price range, you will definitely get 10 points!
breezetucson…you’re a moron. don’t ‘answer’ questions that you can’t answer. you’re an annoying waste of time.

A few months back I got a tattoo on my rib cage. The artist did a horrid job and the ink spread everywhere. Luckily its just an outline of the rest of the work that I wanted to get done, but the outline is thick.
I plan on getting laser treatments done but I would really like to keep the tattoo just get rid of the spread ink. Is that possible? And is the ink that has spread easier to remove than the rest?

Okay, Im 19, and i made one of the biggest mitakes of my life, I got a bunch of tattoos, wich includes the tops of my hands and fingers. i dont need you to tell me im dumb, because i know i am, i regret ever getting ink. I want to get laser tattoo removal, but i dont have the money, so i need to get a job but a job wont hire me cuz of my tats, what do i dooooo!? i hate having so many tattoos it ruined my life. (wrecking balm doesnt work, ive heard)

I’m 15 and I have 3 tattoos I would like to have lasered off. I got a job just to save up to get it done. I’m so sick of look at it all the time. And I didn’t really think it through when I got them about 2 years ago..

1. How much do you think it would cost to get them faded as much a possible?

2. Do I need a parent to come with me or just someone over 18?

3. Where is the closest place possible that specializes in laser tattoo removal? (i live in southern maine)

One is musical notes on my wrist, one is 3 dots (my crazy life) on my pinky, and one a just a dumb line on my ring finger from backing out from getting something else. (they are homemade and were done with india ink)

Here are some pictures:
(i know i got them in the worst places possible)

So when I turned 18, I got a green four-leaf clover tattooed on my neck… in honor of my Irish grandfather. While, I will always love my grandfather, I deeply regret this tat. I am 22 now and I know I get judged for it constantly. I want to get it removed eventually (if a job ever hires me so I can afford it). Does anyone have experience with tattoo removal? I know that it depends on color and size of tattoo and skin pigment. How effective are different methods on green ink? And will it be better to keep it rather than have a scar on my neck? How bad is scarring? Any feedback will help and be appreciated. Thanks.

I am trying to get a job with state patrol and of course they don’t like that i have a tattoo on my wrist. My friend who is a nurse told me about her friend who used the removal cream and it worked. The problem is she doesn’t work with that person anymore and doesn’t know the name of the brand that was used. Has the removal cream worked for anyone? And if so, what kind was it?

My girlfriend got a tattoo a few months ago, and has since decided against it…yeah, one of those bad ideas gone awry. Anyhow, she wants something that will do the job, but not be expensive. I know of laser treatments, but they are expensive and can leave scars. Anyone know of any other methods of removal such as creams or ointments that will fade it away?

i have a lowerback tattoo that i got in feb and it is already fading, he did a pretty sh***y job. it does not look good and i am prob going to get a laser removal on it but for now is there something i can use on it at gnc or walgreens that will fade it or maybe wrecking tattoo balm til i get the money to laser it off????? sorry but i absolutely hate it sooo much and i have to look at it every morning and i need to know what i can do for now. thanks guys
please no rude comments, thanks = ]]]

i have a tattoo in the middle of my left arm and i want to remove it for my job. I was just wondering is their any alternatives to laser removal such as a cream or something. I cant afford the laser removal and i heard about this thing about wrecking balm but i dont know if it works. Any ideas?

I have a number of tattoos that I got when I was a lot younger and very naive.
The guy who did them was dodgy and did a terrible job on the vast majority of them.
The ones I want removed are all greywash, with a single, solid-black cat on my back.
I have heard good and bad things about various treatments, but largely that it’s not possible to completely remove a tattoo.
My only other option is to get them covered-up… the problem is that I am hoping for a career in the medical industry and, unless I wear long-sleeved shirts all-year-round… this is a bit of a dilemma.
Has anyone tried different tattoo removal therapies?? Whats an effective method??
Or should I just opt for getting them covered with something else and wearing a skin-coloured body-slip under my clothes??

i have a tattoo on my hip and the guy did a very bad job, and its very big so i dont think that i will be able to cover it up with anything that i like and my dad doesnt know about it i just want to get it removed however dont have the money for the lazer removal. does any of the tattoo creams work for removal and what are the price ranges?

I have some nasty scars on my arms that I am thinking of covering up with a large tattoo? Will it successfully cover them up, because they are big and noticeable?
I have four tattoos already. 3 on my back and one on my ankle, so I know the pain, but would getting it over scars hurt more then the others? Getting a tattoo might be more affordable than laser removal unless I can’t get a job because of my arm tattoos.

just curious for job reasons when id want to wear a skirt. im in no way ashamed of it and i love it, its just employers might not feel the same. its a brightly colored tattoo about 3 inches long and 3 inches wide on my lower mid calf region. that and im pale.

I have 3 visible tattoos and can not really afford the laser surgery. I live in FL and can not seem to find any programs that assist with tattoo removal. I need a job but can not seem to get one because of my tats.
