What is the cheapest, most effective way to get a tattoo removed?
I know of some TCA for around 15-30 bucks, but i'm not sure of it's worth. What's up?

well cheapiest way at first to 'hide' a tattoo is that special makeup but in the long run laser surgery is best. being the most effective also.

Absolute cheapest way (if you're just tired of THAT tattoo) is to get a cover-up done on it. That will only cost about as much as a normal tattoo, sometimes a little more.
If you want it gone there's really only one option - laser removal. It's very expensive and quite painful. There is no cream or serum or anything that will remove a tattoo, it's under the outer layer of your skin. There are some skin bleaches that will make it a little lighter, but not to the point that it wouldn't be seen easily.
Sorry, that's the truth.
Think before you ink.

Lazertreatment seems to be the way to go. It is very expensive and leaves a scar. Modern inks and tattoo's are very very hard to remove these day. It also takes several treatments. It is not coverd by insurance companies because it is not medically necessary. You can't just walk in and bam the tattoo is gone. The lazer breaks up the ink in your skin and then it is absorbed by you body. You will have a scar of the image if the lazer treatment is affective.

is it really that bad of one that you want it gone?? remember the reason you got it?? i think every tattoo tells a story and removing it is painful and a lot of money i think you can slowly do laser over and over again if you have health insurance it may cover it.?? depends but to get it off fast you will have to do the surgical laser removal( the other one i was talking about is the basic same thing as getting your hair removed or getting veins to fade) anyways i hope this helped and GOOD LUCK!!

yes getting them removed costs a lot more than getting them put on. check with your locale county or city - a lot of areas have free tattoo removal clinics if you do community service and if it is on your face neck or hands and so prevents you from getting a job - they will move you to the front of the line and get you in faster. i think it takes about 3 or 4 trips to remove it completely. good luck pat

creams etc don't work. the single effective way to safely remove a tattoo is laser surgery - and it's not cheap. that's why tattoos are supposed to be for life

Very hard to remove tattoos, the only way I know of is to get it surgically removed, and a skin graft put over the hole. Dont use acid rubs they will scar you up something fierce.

Cheapest way? Take a box cutter and cut all the way around the tattoo. Then take a cheese grater and use it to scrape the tattooed skin away. Total cost = $0 assuming you have a box cutter and cheese grater at home.
