It will look odd when its growing back in and you will be paranoid about the feel of it!
You can get your arms waxed.
I used to wax, bleach, shave and use hair removal cream on my arms but I realise now that it really doesn't matter and I couldn't care less if I have a bit of extra hair on my arms. Some cultures actually LIKE this! Once you get a summer suntan it will be lighter and less noticeable too.
If you absolutely must get rid of it then waxing would be the best option.

it won't make the hairs thicker. thats rubbish. because the hair is cut off bluntly it might appear thicker. the problem with shaving your arms is the prickly grow back. any time u rub arms with people you'll prickle them. I would suggest if u really want to remove it get it waxed. You'll have to do it every 6 weeks or so and then regrowth will start to thin out and u can start having it done less.

It is OK to shave your arm and it is a urban myth that it makes it grow back darker. the thing is with shaving it cuts the hair with a blunt edge so it can sometimes appear to be darker but is not. also i would recommend waxing them it does not hurt and it brakes down the hair follicles fast then shaving so you do it less often and then eventually never. and i wax my arms so i no first hand

I wouldn't recommend it as when you shave the hairs the tops become blunt, which is what makes them look darker when they grow back. Most beauty salons offer arm waxing which is much more effective, lasts longer and gradually reduces regrowth. I'd recommend waxing if you're really bothered by your arm hair.

Personally I wouldn't do it. Shaving cuts hair at its thickest point so it will grow back looking thicker and darker.
Try waxing or a hair removing cream.

You can but i really wouldnt, they will come back will prickly and even more hairy and your arms are more soft so they will probably be more sensitive. Either immac or wax them, but best not to do anything if possible. Perhaps you could bleach the hairs on your arms?

Big no no! They will grow back thicker and darker which makes it even worse!! Try using a face friendly bleach. Its gentle and really works. Just dont shave them!!!!

No I wouldn't do this, when they grow back they will look worse than they are now as they will be denser. If you really had to take them off I would wax them off but to be honest I would keep them as they are unless you really looked like a gorilla. I have never taken my arm hair off, and am content, my partner is also happy for me to be natural as I am.
