Removing a unwanted tattoos is possible thrugh several ways, but most of the options available are expensive, painful or undesirable. Some of the most popular tattoo removal procedures are-
Lasers and Pulsed Light: The process of removing a tattoo with lasers and pulsed light is a relatively new technique that uses pulses of light from the laser are directed onto the tattoo breaking up the tattoo pigment. . This painful procedure can take up to 2 years to fully remove a tattoo and the price ranges between $2,000 to $16,000.
Excision: Excision involves an injection of a local anesthetic to numb the area after which the tattoo is removed surgically. This procedure is strictly for very small tattoos and is not without its scaring.
Cover-Art: This procedure is simply placing a darker tattoo over the original. It is not an alternative for everyone, but it is especially common when the original tattoo contains a reminder of a former lover.

Are you serious? When you were given your tribal tattoo, didn't the person who rendered it give you instructions and information beforehand? I am sure you really know that the only way to remove a permanent tattoo done with ink is through laser surgery. Sorry. Even if you attempt to take off a layer of skin, that tattoo will still be there. The only residual thing that may happen is that once you f up your skin, you will definitely need medical treatment for sepsis (a deadly skin infection). Best idea, wait till your 18 and opt for the laser removal method.

The only widely used technique to completely remove tattoos that I know of is laser removal. This takes numerous sessions to properly break up the ink into fine enough particles to make them "disappear". I know a few people who have had this procedure done and they have said that it was more painful to remove the tattoo than it was to get it in the first place. But if it is worth it to you to go through all of that pain to remove it, then go for it!
Good luck!

Test it by starting to scrape slowly.
