Getting it removed

i tried Laser, which isnt so great on black skin, in my opinion, or maybe it was just my skin. but basically at  100GBP a session, it turned out to be a waste of money because after 3 or 4 treatments i was still exactly where i started.




Then i heard of TCA - it cost me $50. amazing i thought! Basically TCA  is a  non-prescription skin peeling agent commonly used by doctors, health spas and private individuals to remove fine lines, wrinkles and acne scars on the face.TCA works by creating controlled inflammation  is generated on the surface of the skin above the tattoo. This inflammation causes the pigment (ink) to naturally break apart and migrate to the surface with new skin growth. Your body actually does most of the work. Doctors agree  that generating this controlled inflammation repeatedly over time is what it takes to fade or remove a tattoo


well i was more than happy to try it, it only cost $50, and even though i knew it was a risk and it said on the website it wasn't great on black skin, i still went ahead and bought it, at that point i couldn't care less if i ended up with a scar.


After 4 or so treatments with TCA, my tattoo looked like this:




at this point it didn't look like a tattoo anymore, looked more like a burn, so i basically couldn't even wear sleeveless and if i did i had to cover it up with Dermablend, which is a  full coverage body foundation for moderate to major body skin flaws, if applied properly usually lasts for about 16 or so hours.

after coverage it would look something like this:




This isnt a very fab picture, but basically i could get away with dermablend but still it pissed me off and i started to really think what i could do to completely get rid of it....
