There is a cheaper and less painful method. There is this product called Tatgone Ink and it is used right in tattoo shops just like getting a tattoo. What it does is it draws the ink out of the tattoo. It may take a few visits to get it completely gone depending on the age of the tattoo and the color. Black and blue come out the easiest. If the tattoo was new it would only take one to two treatments. It is usually about $150 for the bottle of the stuff itself and usually where you get it done will charge by the hour all depends on how big it is. Check into it, I'm sure if you ask around you will find a shop that does it.

Right.
For a start there are methods of tattoo removal that do not involve laser. These are very painful and invasive and a long with the pain scaring often occurs.
There is also, though not to my knowledge in this country a process of injection through the same method as a tattoo but I believe that is in Germany.
There's no patented across the board substance that removes tattoos, everyone is different.

It's a con. Only a laser can remove a tattoo, and it will leave a scar. Acid will remove a tattoo, may be he's offering something caustic? Acid will also be excrutiatingly painful, will leave a wound that becomes infected and then will require a hospital stay and eventually leave an ugly scar. You can get cosmetics to disguise the tattoo from companies that specialise in make up for covering such things as birth marks. Google it.

It sounds like nonsense. I mean, if someone on ebay told you they had the secret of losing 20lbs overnight, or turning base metals into gold, or mind reading, or something, then you'd be sceptical, right? And removing a tattoo simply is one of those pot-of-gold end-of-the-rainbow things that sound great but just aren't going to happen.
At best, you pay the guy money and nothing happens. At worst, his 'simple ingredients' cause an allergy or are poisinous when applied to the skin. In neither scenario does anything happen to your tattoo. I'm afraid that if you have a tattoo you want removed, you need to see a professional, and you need to expect the process to be lengthy, painful and expensive. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but there we go.

can't be done, I'm having laser treatment at the moment to remove an old tattoo (ouch! ouch, laser treatment HURTS) but I originally looked into this. There's a lot on stuff on Ebay which is basically skin lighteners or bleach, but the tattoo ink is several layers under the skin and cannot be reached by surface means, you have to either remove the skin or laser it.
Wish it did work though, this laser tratment is quite painful and much more painful than having a tattoo!

I would suggest that it's a big con but read the feedback of people that have bought his "secret" and maybe send them a message to see what they have to say about it. I really don't beleive anything other than laser treatment can remove a tattoo.

There was something like this on 'Dragons Den', a German bloke invented a tattoo ink that lifts the ink out your skin. It looked like a really good idea, because theres no scarring. It works just like getting a tattoo.
Its possible someone watched that and figured out how to do it but I don't see how you could do it yourself. Plus the formula is patented.
You could contact the BBC or visit the website and see if theres any info available.

I don't buy it. I think it sounds like a con. Go to a registered laser removal clinic if you want to get rid of your tattoos.

Scam. If he really knew how to do such a thing why is he not making millions from it?
