If you have a tattoo that you’re unhappy with, you’re probably curious about what your tattoo removal options are. Today I’d like to take a minute and run down the list for you. I won’t get too detailed about how to remove tattoos with each particular method because there are many other articles on my website that discuss each of these tattoo removal options in more detail.


There are basically two methods of tattoo removal. The first is with the use of a mechanical device such as a laser. The methods of tatoo removal that use mechanical devices are laser tattoo removal, intense pulsed light (or IPL Laser) tattoo removal, dermabrasion, reverse tattooing, and excision tattoo removal. The disadvantage of these tattoo removal options are that they are quite expensive and often extremely painful to endure. With the exception of tattoo excision, all of these methods will require multiple treatments in order to adequately remove your tattoo. You will be billed for each individual treatment session and it’s not uncommon to need as many as eight or more treatments. Consequently, these tattoo removal options may end up running your bill into the thousands of dollars unless you are an ex gang member and qualify for a free tattoo removal program. Many people interested in laser tattoo removal have the question, “how much does tattoo removal cost?”

The other tattoo removal options that I referred to use a chemical substance to remove the tattoo. Let me rephrase that, they use a chemical substance to “fade” the tattoo. The word remove implies that you simply apply a chemical and the tattoo is gone instantly. Theses home tattoo removal produces gently fade your tattoo over a period of several months.

The tatoo removal options that use a chemical are tattoo removal cream and TCA acid tattoo removal. Both products work in a similar manner to peel away the top layer of skin, thereby exposing the skin cells that are holding the tattoo ink. Further use of these home tattoo removal methods will begin to breakdown the cellular matrix of the skin cells that are holding the tattoo ink. The cells can then either be naturally absorbed by the body or migrate towards the surface to be shed away.

The most well known and respected brand of tattoo removal cream is Wrecking Balm. Wrecking Balm is a company that stands behind their product and offers up to a six month guarantee on their tattoo removal cream. Tat B Gone is another company that makes tattoo removal cream but they don’t offer a guarantee . In my opinion, you should never buy a tattoo removal product that doesn’t come with a satisfaction guarantee. There are several lesser known brands on the market that offer no guarantee at all. Wrecking Balm can be purchased from our website for only $79.00 if you use our exclusive $20.00 off coupon. That is cheaper than you can buy it directly from Wrecking Balm! This will give you 24 applications of the home tattoo removal product and it is the best price available anywhere on the Internet.
