Has anyone ever heard of tattoos being removed without laser surgery?

They will use the acid to remove the tattoo but acid is somewhat concentrated. if we use it remove the tattoo but it creates wound instead of removing and we will get scar on the place which we have decided to remove it

Sorry, a tattoo is permanent.  The only way to have it removed is via laser surgery which is costly and not paid for by insurance.\n\nThere is an alternative though.  Buy some dermablend makeup.  It will easily cover it.  Dermablend is specifically made to cover birthmarks...particularly port wine stain...so it provides great coverage and looks natural.

no. you have to go to the dr and they use a type of medical sand paper to scrap or remove the marks by sanding them down. other then bleaching them.

If you've had it for a long time, the only way to go is laser surgery.  If it's a recent problem, maybe review your habits and it *might* get better.

Yeah, you can get an epidural even with a tattoo.\n\nBut don't get surgery on your back.  If at anything a surgeon have to cut though a tattoo, they sometimes can't align the skin and suture the tattoo back into proper alignment.

You should consult a dermotologist/plastic surgeon.  They can use lasers to kill the spider veins so they eventually disappear.

That sounds very serious and painful..if I were you I think I would get a second opinion because with all the things that they have in the medical world you may can have them removed by laser surgery...check it out.

I agree with people who have suggested seeing a doctor to have them frozen off.\n\nI had two under my armpits which I shaved off with a razor, it burned a little but not much and they haven't come back. The ones on your armpit you could probably do on your own. However, I had one of the back of my neck that I also cut off with scissors and it hurt terribly. I do NOT recommend cutting off the ones on you abs and neck on your own unless you have a very high pain tolerance. You also might cause yourself scars. (I didn't care about scars when I did mine because it's in an area my hair covers.)

Do NOT get a tattoo. They're gross.

No they can not be removed medically without some form of laser treatment or surgery.  But, most not all people are born with a birth mark and there really isn't a defined answere for them except it was an unual change in the skin while you were in-utero.  Most birth marks do start to fade some as you get older.

Personally I used to wax, but OUCH!! Way too painful, definitly would not recommend that, unless you have a very high threshold for pain. But I would actually recommend checking out laser hair removal. It's starting to catch on and is really effective. But there are side effects like irritation from the laser, risk of pigment discolouration and pain. It works best if you have really dark, coarse-ish hair, and kinda light skin. If your dark, there's the risk or pigment discolouration where the area that's lasered becomes lighter than it's surrounding area. It is painful, I won't lie, but it only lasts as long as they're firing the gun. It just feels like lost of small elastics snapping your skin. And the cold cloth after feels SOOO good. But I've just finished up treatments for my bikini area and wow. I am amazed. It took about 5 treatments for the hair to be totally removed, and now it's completely smooth and I don't have to worry about it! It is pricey, so just be ready to spend close to $1000 for larger areas, like legs and arms, and $600 for bikini and underarms. But I say, if you can afford it, and are willing to, go for a consulation (they're generally free), and totally go for it. And that's my little plug for laser hair removal.

Yes. My man has 5 tats and is an insulin dependant diabetic. Dabetics do need to be extra careful about infection as healing time can be proloned and the feet are off limits for any tattooing due to neuropathy, and an already increases risk of foot ulceration.Go to a reputable tattoist and be sure to use an antibiotic ointment until the wound is completely healed,avoid the feet as well as any bony prominences (base of spine,shoulder blades)Piercing should be avoided as the average person has trouble with healing at times.

If it is not deep  into the skin it can be removed without any scar..

One tatoo is very rarely enough! It is like eating peanuts-- then some day - YOU WILL BE SORRY!    Removal by Lasar is very very expensive - and it HURTS more than the tatooing.

Injections are an option. My friend got them and they worked like a charm! Also, lots of topical vitamin K. Laser surgery isn't invasive, but it sure is a step in that direction. Good luck :) Or.... you could just live with how you are???

it depends on the type of laser that is being used. In my office we use what is called "intense pulse light". It has a special laser called a "yag". We can usually lighten a tattoo to almost gone. You may not be able to get it to go away totally, but it should be nothing but a faint image. 8 treatments seem to be a bit excessive. I would consult with another doctor
