Tattoo Removal and Your Options

July 28th, 2009

Tattoos are one of the permanent things you can do to your body that actually aren’t exactly permanent. There are a variety of methods widely available today for getting a tattoo off your skin. Let’s address a few of the more talked about techniques for tattoo removal and the relevant information for each technique.

1. Tattoo Removal Creams and Kits.

Tattoo removal creams are an over the counter product designed as a “do it yourself” solution for tattoo removal, which can be done in the privacy of your own home. These removal creams are often a “kit” with two or more creams which are applied topically to the skin (this means just to the surface of the skin) and over time, will expel or break down the ink in the skin, leaving either a faded together or leaving no tattoo at all. This method is suggested for older tattoos or tattoos which were done with low quality equipment and inks. High quality tattoo work will require repeated applications which could make this solution prohibitively costly as compared to other solutions below. Note that there is no pain or risk of scarring using tattoo removal creams.

2. Rejuvi Cream.

Similar in name only to the “creams” out there, rejuvi cream is an advanced technique for getting the tattoo off your flesh. Patients are treated by a trained medical professional who will use a device to push rejuvi cream into the tattoo of the patient. It then bonds with the ink. The body will see the bonded ink and rejuvi cream as a foreign entity and push it out of the body in the form of a scab. Over repeated treatments, this leaves the skin entirely tattoo free.

3. Laser Techniques.

Laser tattoo removal is one of the most well known and efficient techniques for tattoo removal. This solution requires going in for multiple treatments from a professional clinic. Over repeated treatments, a tattoo can be entirely removed from the skin. There is minimal to no risk of scarring from this technique. Most people do find the laser removal process painful, but no more painful than getting the tattoo originally.

One final note is the use of cover up tattoos. If you have a tattoo you no longer want, consider that instead of paying for its removal, you can pay to have it covered up with a better tattoo. The techniques for covering up is likely better than you imagine these days, so talk to an artist to get their thoughts before making a decision either way.

Tattoo Removal Creams And Bad Tattoos

July 14th, 2009

Tattoo have definitely made their way into mainstream society. While there’s definitely a surviving stereotype that lumps tattoos as part of a dirty lifestyle, most people just see them as not much different than ear piercings. Finally, it’s just not a big deal. The irony to this situation is with tattoos becoming so common, the removal of tattoo is becoming more common than ever, too!

If this describes you, let’s take a look at one of the most confusing subjects related to tattoo removal: creams. Tattoo removal creams – also sometimes called lotions – are sold usually in a “kit” consisting of multiple creams which are applied to the skin and aim to fade or altogether remove a unwanted tattoo. But how do they work? More to the point, do they work?

All of the tattoo removal creams on the market work the same way, despite claims to the contrary by the manufacturers. The user is instructed to apply the creams to the skin above the tattoo. The cream will then seep into the skin and break up the ink.

As treatments continue, the ink of the unwanted tattoo is pushed out. New layers of skin will form, and with each layer, there is less and less tattoo ink. Some of the creams out there bond with the ink and will obviously move it towards the surface of the skin. The body will expel it, seeing it as a foreign substance to get rid of. After the first two creams are applied, usually a third cream is placed on the skin to soothe and rejuvenate.

By default, any tattoo removal cream is going to be expected to remove a tattoo. However, you might notice the word “fade” thrown in every now in then in place of the word remove. Which is it? Does this mean not all tattoos can be removed? Are some easier removed than others?

There are tattoos which are going to see better success than others when it comes to using these types of products. At the top of the list is older, badly done tattoos, which ties with amateur tattoos done using amateur or low quality inks and inking methods. This doesn’t mean that a professional or new tattoo cannot be removed with creams; it does mean though that it may take many more treatments, and financially you’d do better to just spend that money on another technique, such as laser removal.

Rejuvi Cream: A Great Method For Tattoo Removal

July 10th, 2009
by Trippidi Brown

Do you have a tattoo you no longer want anymore? If so, read this article as it will discuss the use of rejuvi cream for tattoo removal. This is a relatively new method for taking a tattoo permanently off the body. It is not to be confused with other amateur techniques – in fact, you have to have it performed by a professional, and it required repeated treatments. The technique itself is ironically a bit similar to getting a tattoo, save for the fact that it’s actually doing the opposite – removing it!

Let’s take a close look at how this works while providing some additional information on the rejuvi technique so you can decide if it is something you’ll be interested in.

The rejuvi method works very well to get rid of a tattoo. But why would you want to do that? Maybe the tattoo was done badly in the first place. Maybe you simply do not identify with the tattoo anymore. Maybe you made the worst mistake around and got your lovers name inked into your arm and then broke up. Whatever the reason, rejuvi is a viable option for taking it off your body forever.

The application of the cream is done by a trained medical professional. This distinguishes it from other techniques which are advertised as “do it yourself” and “easy” but realistically, they do not always work very well. Getting rejuvi treatments will require that you go into a professional center and have the work done by someone who knows what they are doing. Despite it being called “rejuvi cream”, this is not a mere “tattoo removal cream” like so many others. How is it different?

When you go in for Rejuvi treatments, the doctor or a medical assistant will sit you down and begin treating the tattooed area with a tool that ironically looks much like a tattoo gun. But instead of putting ink into the skin, this device will put rejuvi cream into the skin. Rejuvi then bonds with the ink. The body treats the rejuvi cream – and now the tattoo ink that its bonded with – as a foreign object in the body, and moves to expel it from the skin. A scab will form as the material gets pushed out of the body, eventually coming to the surface of the skin and then falling off. With it, a piece of the tattoo ink is permanently gone from the body. Repeated treatments will then entirely remove all ink from the flesh.

Rejuvi treatments are now widely available in Europe and North America. Most experts see it as a safe, effective, and relatively inexpensive method of tattoo removal. Luckily it carries minimal to little risk of scarring and has few bad side effects during treatments. If you’re looking for a way to remove that unwanted tattoo, consider using rejuvi!
