Lately I’ve been keeping a keen eye out for ugly tattoos to get a better understanding of how many people could benefit from tattoo removal cream.  I’ve never purposely looked for them in the past but this little experiment on the number of people who could benefit from tattoo fading cream of mine has been quite enlightening.


I can’t believe how many absolutely horrible tattoos people are sporting these days. A lot of people buy tattoo kits but don’t get any instruction before giving a homemade tattoo. I may have over stepped my bounds a couple of times but I’ve approached a couple of people and told them I was doing research on homemade tattoos for a project that I am doing.  I didn’t tell them that the project was on ugly tattoos and tattoo cream.

I made it a point to ask them about the tattoo and tell me the story behind it.  Here are a few examples of how some of these home grown tats ended up on their skin.

One former gang member had a tear drop on his face.  The tattoo was clearly not professionally done.  He said that his “celly” in prison gave him the tattoo with a sharpened paperclip that he dipped in ink from a ball point pen.

On another occasion I spoke with a young Hispanic girl with a small misshapen heart tattooed between the skin of her thumb and index finger.  It was a faint tattoo that had apparently been applied by her boyfriend with the tip of a very sharp pocket knife.  She said that he used printer ink.

The craziest tattoo was on a rough looking cowboy with sun cured leathery skin.  He had what appeared to be the markings of a cattle brand on his shoulder.  He claimed that after sharing a bottle of Jack Daniels, his buddy applied the tattoo with a piece of a barbed wire fence and charcoal from the campfire.  I found this one particularly hard to believe but the tattoo was so horrible that I suppose it might be possible.  Who am I to judge whether or not he was telling the truth?

This little experiment on the number of people out there who really need tattoo removal cream or TCA tattoo removal has been quite interesting.  I’ve definitely heard some crazy stories.  I only wish I would have had a bottle of Wrecking Balm or Ink Busters, or Nuviderm tattoo removal product to give them.

Thanks for visiting my blog on tattoo removal cream!  Since tattoo removal prices can be so high, I think tattoo cream is a great alternative.
