Best Tattoo Removal Tips

Luckily, there are ways of hiding your secret love in case you still like your tattoo. Most tattoos are on parts of your body which you can cover up with your clothes. The best "cover"clothes are dark colored because you might still see your tattoo design faintly through clothes which are light colored. Other tattoos need a little bit more creativity in order to get them covered. You might use stuff like jewelry (rings, bracelets or even your watch may cover it up perfectly, depending on the size and location of it).

In case your tattoo is located somewhere you cannot cover it up like this, you can use makeup to cover it (if you use the right makeup the tattoo will be almost invisible). There even are "fade-away creams" available which are designed specially for this purpose. These are lotions and creams that will make your tattoo design less noticeable. They work the same as cellulite cream (a kind of makeup). Obviously they do not remove your tattoo entirely, but they will make it seemingly to fade and less obvious. A big advantage of these creams is that they are a lot less painful compared to other options to get your tattoo removed.

If you decide you really dislike your tattoo and want to get it removed permanently (like the name of your ex-partner for instance), there are other ways to get it off your skin. One of these ways, that many people with a "bad" tattoo (including myself) prefer, is picking a new really cool tattoo design and placing it right overtop of the old lame tattoo. This is perfect if you like the spot where you have the tattoo on your body, but just do not like the design anymore. This is a rather expensive way (which is not less expensive as laser surgery), but you will still have the cool tattoo you wanted in the first place. Unfortunately there are a lot of people with bad tattoos, so tattoo artists are used to turning them into new, cool tattoo designs (even so much so it is one of the reasons they are in business).

Another way is through the use of laser surgery. This method is usually available at cosmetic surgery clinics. The (low level) lasers scrub your skin clean and work in much the same way as scar removal. This method is fine for relatively uncomplicated small tattoos, but in case you need to remove a large tattoo you are going to need a lot of expensive sessions under the laser to get rid of it. Your skin will be irritated or downright painful afterwards, because you will be getting low level burns. Keep in mind that, (depending on the size, place and colour of your tattoo) you might get a scar from the treatment and that laser surgery targets the "tattoo pigment", which is the reason why "lasered" skin can look bleached.
