Today I’m going to talk about how to remove tattoos at home. There are several ways to remove a tattoo that people have to choose from these days. There are home tattoo removal methods and there are tattoo remover methods that require you to go into a clinic or a doctor. For the purpose of this article, I’ll be talking mostly about how to remove a tattoo at home.


The first thing you need to do to remove tattoos at home is to decide on what tattoo removal product you want to use. Home tattoo removal products basically fall into two categories. They are tattoo removal cream products and TCA acid tattoo removal products.

Both products are designed to slowly remove tattoo over a period of several months. These products would more accurately be called tattoo fading products than tattoo removal products since that’s how they actually work. They are formulated gently enough too slowly fade your tattoo without causing any undue pain or scarring. If they were formulated in a concentrated enough form to remove tattoo rapidly, they would likely be quite painful to use and you would probably end up with some scarring.

The most popular brand of tattoo removal cream is Wrecking Balm. In order to remove tattoos with Wrecking Balm, you simply follow their three step process which is explained by clicking here. When using the Wrecking Balm tattoo removal cream to remove tattoos, you generally apply the product every few days for several months.

Now let me tell you how to remove tattoos with TCA tattoo removal products. The first thing you need to do if you want to remove a tattoo with TCA tattoo removal products is decide which brand you want to buy. The two most popular brands of TCA tattoo removal products are Ink Busters and Nuviderm. Both companies charge $39.95 for a 1 ounce bottle of medical grade TCA. They also both have a six month satisfaction guarantee as well as free shipping.

In order to remove a tattoo with TCA tattoo removal products, you apply a diluted solution of the TCA acid to your tattoo. You leave it on for the predetermined amount of time and then you neutralize it with a special neutralizing the agent. This process causes a controlled inflammation of the tissue holding the tattoo ink. This controlled information will break up the cellular matrix of the skin cells that are holding the ink. It also causes skin peeling. Repeated use of the TCA tattoo removal product results in the skin peeling away and exposing skin cells that are holding the tattoo ink. Through repeated use, more controlled inflammation in the form of skin peeling takes place and the tattoo ink is slowly shed away resulting in the fading of the tattoo.
