How Effective Is Tattoo Removal

Frequently Asked Questions

1. QUESTION:
   What is the most effective form of tattoo removal?
   So, nearly a year ago my buddy and I both got matching tattoos. The tattoo is basically an out line of an element from the periodic table, with a little shading on the lettering, so I'm guessing it shouldn't be that difficult to remove.

   What is the most effective form or tattoo removal; laser treatment or abrasive therapies such as Wrecking Balm?

   Which will scar less?

   • ANSWER:
     Laser will work better but its expensive and leaves scars. Wrecking balm will fade the tattoo a lot to where you can barely see it. It doesn't scar at all and is like 10$ at Walmart!

2. QUESTION:
   Are laser tattoo removal machines in China effective?
   I am planning to get my own laser machine to remove my tattoos. However, I am not sure if machines in china could really remove my tattoos completely. I have already searched for laser machines available for shipping on the internet. Chinese lasers are cheaper and more visible on the internet. Has anyone bought laser tattoo removal from China? Is it really effective? I would appreciate if someone could help. Thank you!
   My aunt will do the procedure. She's a laser/skin specialist. We just want to know if lasers in China are effective.

   • ANSWER:
     I dont live in china, but a friend of mine did got his tattoo removed a few months ago ( with a professional) and it left a horrible mark on the skin, and the mark take a longgggg time to go away and in some cases it never goes away, so i would recommend to just live with your tattoo, because you can harm urself without professional help ..
