Does anyone know of any methods for tatoo removal not involving expencive
lasers etc..
Does anyone know of any listservers (email groups) or other newsgroups
(other than rec.arts.bodyart- which I am in)
Answer:
- I know someone who cut his out with a knife.
I'm sure it's doesn't hurt too much.
- Well I've heard that some tattoo artists can get a close match to your skin
color and give you a tat that covers up your tat....but mebbe someone can
verify?
-Seriously, I have heard of using a diluted acid/bleach solution dapped on
with a Q-tip every night. Over time this is suppose to work- not that I've
ever tried it. Dermatologists often use weak acid solutions to treat a
varity of skin problems. But it has to be done slow to prevent scarring.
- I know an artist who used to tatto over the old tattoo using a caustic
solution. Apparently it hurts like a bastard, but it did the job in getting
rid of 'LOVE/HATE' on a set of knuckles I saw.
- A few posts back I was telling someone about the new Mining Co. site that
has removal info on it. http://tattoo.miningco.com
Also there is a NewsList for artists and fans called Tattoo Tips and Tricks.
