So I have a few on myself, on my arm.  Has anyone heard or or used any type of tattoo removel?  I want to remove a few, now that I have a great career and I got mine when I was 18 and not too smart..lol..  So I know there are many different ways and that some work and some dont, some leave scarrs and some dont.  just seeing if anyone has used or knows someone that has,

Thanks,

look into laser removal...
remember with laser techniques the cheaper it is, the more chance of damage. (same with tattoo artists, you don't want a cheap one)
they have to adjust the laser settings or laser machine type to your skin type.

what kind of great career do you have that allows you to blatantly misspell simple words like "tattoo" and "removal"?  and i'm usually not a stickler for spelling...but come on, man.

anyway, not a whole lot you can do except serious surgery.  you could try that wrecking balm thing but i doubt it works.

unless you want possible STDs, infections, and at best, a badly designed, badly drawn moronic tattoo, high end... within reason... is better!
unless you are hardcore and get a friend to tattoo you in his kitchen. that's cool!

why would you call bullshit on that?  We all know that dirty needles are fucking dangerous, come on now.

and for the thread, i read up a little bit and im pretty sure its somewhat doable, not too too painful and/or expensive.  I had previously heard that it was long and painful, i guees not I found ya a website too.

Here ya go

she is right though....  going cheap on a tattoo artist (if they are designing it) means you could get a really fucking horrible design.  i dont have any but it has happened to my friend.

wrecking balm in combintation with MANY sessions of laser tattoo removal should do the trick with little to no scarring depending on the size and location of said tattoo.

good luck, from what i hear laser removal is anything but fun. (make sure you use numbing cream)

i don't think you should get them removed. They're a conversation piece and separates you from normal bland people.

christ.



btw you jsut said that he was giving you 100 because he was "hooking you up" meaning he normally would be charging more than that, meaning he was normally an expensive tattoo artist, meaning your tattoo is good because its from a more expensive guy....

Good tattoos aren't cheap, and cheap tattoos aren't good. That is why you test the artist's talent by coming up with an idea and having them draw it for you.Therefore, you get an idea of what they are capable of. Picking flash is guaranteed to be a fail tattoo.

haha if you want a decent tattoo you will go to a good artist with a good reputation, not some shit ass shop who will do whatever. good artists will refuse you if they think your idea is stupid. no offense man, i like your tattoo a lot but if you want to get a quality tat you will go to a good artist(but the guy you got it from is no good most likely, but your tattoo is fairly basic so no biggie), and it will probably cost you more in most cases.

Nothing is wrong with that but it is still pretty ridiculous.  That thing is fucking huge.  If one of my friends got that I would laugh pretty hard.

I do sort of want to get a SoCal tattoo though which I guess is the same thing.  I wouldn't get a giant color one though.

what are you planning on, a mini ankle tat? maybe work a butterfly in there if you are at it....no offense man.

Actually I've already got a pretty big shoulder tat and a smallish forearm one. I'm going for a quarter sleeve/whole shoulder next I think

His looks like it takes up like his entire upper arm.  Which is fine.  But its the American flag.  And I just see a huge american flag tatto and think "wow".

yo nic, 10/10 dude. sticking up for me and shit, good looks. and to that other guy, my tattoo is my upper arm you fucking dumbass, how is that fucking stupid? cause i'm proud to be american. your about to get a socal tattoo, you got no fucking right to talk. and the tattoo is not plain at all, you ever see a soldier with the patch on his arm and its backwards, its got meaning behind it and i got it because on how i feel on what the backwards flag means. so stfu, a tattoo is for yourself, no for other to judge me, so go ahead and fucking laugh. you fucking west coast piece of shit. makes me mad that people cant respect the fact that i sacrafice my life to defend this country, i do my part. i talk mad shit and respect gets respect, i understand that. but you took bullshit to a whole new level. you need to get out of the west coast of yours and travel the world. you got to be no more then 16. there is no fucking way. graduate high school, then have a real conversation with me

good for you man, i respect anyone in the military a million times more than anyone else cuz theyre the only ones that have the balls to fight for the country. my cousin just got back from iraq (hes a marine) and he has a huge marine corps tattoo on his arm and its the same idea as your american flag one...its patriotic and i think its awesome. it has huge meaning and that means way more than any stupid ass design tattoo that anyone could think of. definitely ++k for being in the military

honestly, that looks like a little kid drew it.

and your profile pic is of you in Navy garb... i'm not trusting anything you say. i have a bunch of piercings, 666 written on my ass, and my grandma's nickname, "Peaches!", written across my back. while i've gotten to know some people and they cut me deals, they were all at high-end shops that take sterilization very seriously. i'd never trust some hack in a back alley shop to put a needle into my body.

just because you induvidual experiance contradicts what she is saying doesnt mean she is wrong. so maybe you payed less for more, but she is saying in general you get what you pay for.

Traditional Japanese Koi fish tattoo on my left leg and a traditional Japanese Dragon on my left arm.  in Kendo (what the samurai used for practice) all the power and speed come from the left side starting with your left leg and moving to your arm.  and the Koi fish when it senses its final battle coming swims up the Yellow river to become the Dragon.

right inner forearm a Valkyrie.  i have one friend in the Air Force, one in Marine Recon, another that is a SEAL and the Valkyrie is a warrior's angel and watches over warriors on the battlefield and i hope and wish the best for three of my best friends.

the pain is bearable depending on the part of body and the number session... and on your pain threshold. if you could stand getting a tattoo you should be ok
the more painful part is paying...

My older brother had a big tat removed from his forearm and you can definitely still see where it was.  However, he did not combine it with the use of the cream.  It was really expensive btw.

This link shows multiple ways of removing tattoos!  Good luck

You should post some pictures of the tattoos you want removed, are they bad?

Oh, for the love of fuck, summer NS...

Benedetto, maybe you got lucky with yours, but generally you get what you pay for. The girl I was seeing for awhile is apprenticing as a tattoo artist, I know what I'm talking about. It's one of the most difficult art forms, because not only do you have to be able to draw pretty much anything imaginable extremely well, you have to use an ink gun pressed into someone's skin and every fuck-up shows. If you get some hack who charges cheap, maybe you'll get lucky, but you might end up with a piece of shit tattoo that looks like hell, or cracks, or whatever. That being said, props for being in the military and serving our country. I can't believe anyone would judge you for that.
