I have just recently got a tattoo and I don't really like it. Is there any cream or oil I can use to fade it? I don't want to go to drastic measures of getting it lasered off but I don't want it to be as bright as it is. It is a star outline, in blue ink on my inner wrist.

alpha hydroxy acids or AHA's in high concentrations are often used for lightening. make sure you follow the directions though, so you dont burn your skin. it's not going to make a huge difference, but it will help. intaglio makes a AHA lightening gel which is about the strongest concentration you can get without being a professional.

I have never heard of any creams to lighten a tattoo... Alot of times after I have gotten one the artist has told me to stay out of the sun, and don't get in a pool or bath tub for a week or so. The only other thing I can think of is making sure it rubs on clothes. when you tattoo your feet due to wearing shoes all the times they can fade... Hope this helps

Yes, tanning beds have very strong UV rays which can over time fade a tattoo. So use sunscreen specially over your tattoo if you have to go tanning.

Not that i'm aware of, if it's still scabbed or healing you could try doing everything they tell you NOT to do. Pick at it, expose it to the sun etc... Other than that, you could get it removed via laser.

Now thats what I don't understand. Why do people get tats without fully thinking it through. Like what they want, where they want it, why they want it or eny important stuff like that. Then they want to have it removed or changed. This is why people are against tats and down us that have them.

can't really help you there babe! to can try and make something out of it and go with black or a fade to grey, over time it will tone down, in fact I have one on my ankle and due to a minor shaving accident, I ended up filling it in black to cover the color.

should have thought of that before you got the dang thing. Are you sure you know what the word permanent means?
People should choose their tats carefully! they are there for life!

did you know you can get a tattoo of your skin colour ? they tattoo over it using your skin tones its amazing what some of the tattoo artist are doing for people who are badly scared, so i reckon they can change it to make it less brighter
