wreckingbalm is the most effective, least painful tattoo fading cream. no cream will completely remove it, but over time wreckingbalm will fade your tattoo until it is barely noticeable.

what your going to need is 1. a bad tattoo 2. exfoliating cream or scrub 3. lighting cream like TAt b gone. 4. and about 6 months of time.

Decide on how you are going to take care of the tattoo. There are several different ways to do this safely, but to remove a tattoo with home remedies means that you will want to take the safest route–lightening cream. You can decide to use a cream specifically formulated for removing tattoos, such as Tat B Gone or Fade Away. Or, you can choose to just purchase the active ingredient from a drugstore –a cream with at least 1 percent hydroquinone, a bleaching ingredient popularly sold under the names Black and White, SkinTx and Fade Gel.

Clean your tattoo well. If you are using a system such as Tat B Gone, there may be specific instructions for doing this. If not, be sure to use a gentle exfoliation scrub to get rid of dead skin cells over your tattoo area. This will allow the cream to penetrate into the tattoo more easily.

Apply the lightening cream to the tattoo area. Rub the cream in thoroughly, and wait until it is dry to put clothing over the tattoo area. If the tattoo is in an exposed area you do not need to cover it with a bandage or anything else.

Steps 2 and 3 as often as directed on your cream package. Tat B Gone and Fade Away have differing wait times before you can reapply. Drugstore quinolone will allow you to apply more frequently, usually due to a lower percentage of the active ingredient.

Wrecking balm is snake oil. Don’t buy it. It has been proven not to work over and over again. There are *no* creams or topicals that can remove/fade a tattoo. Period. The only surefire way to remove a tattoo is laser treatment (and even then, it depends on the ink/pigment that was used). Looks like you’ll just need to save up your pennies and either get a cover up or get it removed. Best of luck!

DIY tattoo removal systems DO. NOT. WORK.

If something as powerful as a laser takes multiple sessions to remove a tattoo how is something like a cream even going to make a dent?

Save your money and get the laser removal.

No. No home remedy will do anything but possibly cause you more problems, and make your tattoo scar, or blob. Tattoo removal creams do not work.

Obviously you did not go to a reputable (licensed) tattooist. Before you do anything stupid to try to rid yourself of it, think this through.
Laser removal is more painful than getting the tattoo.
It requires several sessions, at about $250 a session.
You might be left with a scar and/or faint image.

Cover up tattoos done with thought and care by an experienced professional can be gorgeous and very individual and unique. Cover ups cost less and are more satisfying than laser removal.
Here’s some examples:
Take your time, and explore the possibilities of a cover up done by a really good tattoo artist.

luck~
