FROM: Jane Laf...

Thanks for all of the information. It's interesting. I did not know there were so many ways to remove a tattoo. Still don't know what I am going to do, but am seriously looking into a fade away cream.

FROM: David

Just found this site. Word of advise - Don't use excision. It left me with a nasty scar.

FROM: Bummbles

I have used Tattoo-OFF for the past 5 months and have seen some great changes. I am really excited about it. I have used it on my lower back and the tattoo is going before my eyes. I also have some permanat eye brow make-up that I would like to get rid of (you know - outdated style) but I am worried about it being so close to my eye. Does anyone have expereince with this? Thanks, bummbles.

FROM: LannaP

I know what you are talking about Bummbles - putting a cream so close to your eye. I emailed the company and they told me to use a Q-tip for accurate application. This is how I do it. But I am always very careful.

What do you know about cover-up work?

FROM: Danielle

Hi Yall. I just want to save everyone from the pain I have been going through. I just spent a good deal of my savings getting laser, The clinic really messed up and now I have a huge ugly scar. The doctors told me it would go away with time. Well guess what, it never did!!! And now I just found out that the clinic has moved or gone out of business or something. What a great world.

FROM: Lacy

I just want to thank the Tattoo Removal Institute for the service they provide. It made a huge difference in what method I chose. For anyone out there who is wondering if the fade away creams really work (i know - I was there) I will tell you that Tattoo-off honestly worked for me. There is still some small faint marks where the tattoo was. But no one really takes notice of it. I prefer to have these marks than to have scars. Also, business transaction was smooth, and they answered all of my questions.

FROM: WARNING

I bought the $20 removal method. What a joke. Don't even bother with it!!!! Talk about misleading!!!

FROM: Re: Mike

I have been in touch with Tatbgone. They ship to Australia and the rest of the world too, no worries. Not sure how long you should wait. My guess is until the tattoo heals. You should email them.

I use Tattoo-OFF for my eyebrows, and I am happy with the result. I was afriad it would change the color of my eye brows (they are a dark brown), but there was not color change. Has anyone tried it on their eye shadow?

Name: Shep

Deb, are you using tatbgone everyday?? you have to use it consistently for it to work. My wife is satisfied with my results (my tattoo was the name of an ex.) You can hardly see the thing anymore.

I DISCLOSE THAT I WORK FOR TAT B GONE

It seems that in an act of desperation DERMASAL, of late, has taken an aggressive position towards Tat B Gone. We, however, take it as a true compliment that the worst they can find to attack us about is our customer service phone policies. See below:

http://www.applehealthstore.com/shop/dermasal-new.htm

Just as with Google, Overture, MSN, and most other internet based companies, we do not list a phone number because it is not in our business model. Our business is done online and our customer interaction is much more efficient through the use of email.

Tat B Gone, having the undisputed best working product combined with great customer service, has become the best selling tattoo removal system by far. That DERMASAL acknowledges this and so takes issue with us about a phone number, makes us hope that by following the Google business model, perhaps one day, we will achieve the same stature in the public’s mind that Google and MSN have achieved.

I want to thank the Tattoo Removal Institute for lending us their open forum from which we could express our explanation and thanks to DERMASAL.

Would like to let everyone know I used laser on my tattoo 5 years ago untill my money ran out. Now I am using laser along with Tattoo-off and the results are unbelievable. There is hope!!

FROM: Sali

Hey Tatoo Removel Inst. IF you don't post my message I know you're a fake.

FROM : Sali

I wouldn't trust the guy who claims to sell tattoo removal for $20. He is NOT actually selling anything... he is JUST giving advice, which is really stupid. What he wants to tell you is to buy some SKIN LIGHTENING or WART REMOVAL cream from the pharmacy. (This is what I believe). Think about it... if this stuff actually worked like people say it does.. then why would it have to be kept a secret??!!!

FROM : kylie

does the cream from tatbgone or tattoo off really work or is it a scam?

FROM : deb

I've used TatBGone for over a year now and it looks the same. The company offered no explanation for this! I'm upset!!!

FROM : PRINCE$$ EMZ

I bought a tatoo removal formula ingredient list off eBay. It\'s a 1/4 cup of brown sugar, 1/4 olive oil and a tablespoon of milk. First you clean the area with an alcohol wipe. Put some sun block on the area to be treated then apply the mixture. Rubbing in a circular motion for a few minutes. Can be done up to three times a day. Aftewards you apply a soothing moisturiser such as vitamin e or aloe vera. It\'s meant to be as effective as the creams. It's definately doing something cos everytime I use it my skin goes bright red and can see tiny holes in my tattoo. Brown sugar and milk contain ghyloric acid or whatever you call it. Which causes dermabrasion without lasers or pain. Can guarantee that's what the guy will be selling.

FROM: Suzette, W.

I WENT TO SOMEONE IN TEXAS THAT ADVERTISED TATOO REMOVALS...SHE ABRAISED MY EXISTING TATOO, THEN APPLIED WHAT SHE NOW CLAIMS WAS GLYCHOLIC ACID TO THE INK...IT CAUSED A SEVERE REACTION TO MY SKIN AND HAS LEFT ME SCARRED....SHE NOW REFUSES TO PAY FOR LASER REMOVAL AND MY E.R. AND DERMATOLOGIST VISITS...I AM HAVING TO SUE TO GET RESTITUTION....THE HEALTH DEPT IN TEXAS SAYS THEY CANNOT AND DO NOT REGULATE TATOO REMOVALS...ONLY TATOOING. IT HAS BEEN A NIGHTMARE....PLEASE BEWARE OF THIS PROCEEDURE.

FROM: Mike

have got some questions. First of all how long do you have to wait to get a tattoo removed after you just had it done. I got a big ugly tattoo on my shoulder last week and I already regret it. Also, do these creams really work, or is it a waste of time? And can I get the creams in Australia?

FROM: Genie

Has anyone seen the site of the guy claiming to sell tattoo removal for $20. He says that you can get all the ingredients at home. What is this? Can the Tattoo Removal Institute look into this?

Thanks ya'll, Genie.

FROM: Shocked

I just saw a tattoo removal method on the web that uses Trichloroacetic acid as the main ingredient. Well, I world in a biology lab and this really shocked me. We use this acid all the time in the lab, but under strict saftey rules. It is really harmful to the body to breath in the vapors of this acid. Not to mention the burns you get if it comes in contact with your skin. You can read it your self here: http://www.sciencestuff.com/msds/C2923.html

Name : SusanK
Comments : I have a really large tattoo on my arm and I am looking into getting a fade cream, I\'ve read the reviews on Tatbgone and Tattoo-off. Deb said she used tatbgone for approximately 1 year with no results. I really don\'t want to invest in a product that will do nothing for me. Do these creams really work and if they do which one do you suggest. Also does your skin color make a differnece?

Name : vanessa
Comments : I paid out over
$1,000 to get my tatoo removed by "the best Lasers" according to the doctor, and after 12 sessions, I won\'t go anymore because it worked to a point, but after 5 sessions, no more progress. I\'m gonna try some creams now. I hope they aren\'t as big as a rip-off as the laser clinic was.

Name : Cris
Comments : Bummles and Shep how effective is tattoo off and tatbgone on dark skin. Do you know? Im considering one of those method since the laser is not working for me its leaving a scar on my back and the clinic really messed up with my procedure. I was even sent to the ER. How sad that a clinic had to call 911 didn't know how to handle an emergency!!

Name : Jason

Comments : I know this TCA method from my wife. It is just another chemical peel. My wife had a peel done on her face to try and remove acne scars. Well the peel did not take away enough skin to remove the scars. I have no idea how it is supposed to remove a tattoo. Also it was pretty painful for her for 2 weeks after the peel. But maybe that is just because it is her face.

Name : tony
Comments : I have been using tatbgone for 6 months and have noticed perhaps a 10 to 20% fading of my tats.,,,,,having a look at the rejuv sites to see if there system of tattooing in a serum which draws out your old tattoo into the scabbing you get a couple of days after you have been treated..Has anyone had this done?

I just wanted to let people know that I used tatbgone faithfully for 6 months on my tattoos and they faded.

Has anyone heard of the rejuvie method of tattoo removal and if so does it work or is it for just eyeliner?

I really want to remove my tattoo but I do not know what to do can you help?

I had my lips permanently tattoo about 2 years ago. I have been removing the color with Tat B Gone.

I have a tattoo on the upper part of my breast. It has been there for 10 years. I went last week to a tattoo shop to see about covering it up. They recommended a fading process first because a cover-up would have to be larger than I wanted. And with a fade I would have more choices. That same day I had hydrogen peroxide injected into my tattoo via the tattoo gun. I was told it would be painful and to do nothing with it as far as care. I was told go on as normal just don\'t pick the scabs. They weren’t\'t kidding when they said it would be painful. My whole chest hurts, everything rubs and there is nothing I can do. I returned to the shop and they said it was doing its thing leave it alone. Is this a known process for removal? Can I find any relief? Help!

Tattoo is preventing me from getting a job. I need a job to support my 2yr old son and it’s been 8 interviews and 3 months later. Need help.

I do not see too much comment on the tca method of removal which seems to be some type of peel. Seems icky. Can you provide any information on it?

Hi I am in Australia with a lip liner tattoo that I dislike, how and where do I get the product TATOO OFF and will it be able to get into the country. Thank You

I’m looking to investing in a tattoo laser system and wanted to know what advice you have and who makes the best. Also, are you aware of any government licensing or requirement issues involved, especially in Florida?

Does Dermasal work? I have not had any results yet!
