I would never try a chemical Tattoo treatment without consulting a Doctor.

i have a tattoo removal idea from ebay and it uses glycolic acid, it is suposed to burn the layers off over months until the tattoo is gone, has anyone tried it? what should happen, i am 1 week into doing it and just wanted to know if anyone else has tried it, its taking a layer off but in different stages so it looks a bit holey, and is a bit sore. any people tried this method?
never tried but I would have consulted with a dermatologists first ... make sure its safe

I would have said dont get tattoes but that is me and also you can never remove a tattoo, a relative went through medical sergury and you could still see the tattoo just not as clearly

Man I would never try a chemical Tattoo treatment without consulting a Doctor, who could investigate the method and advise you better than any one.My wife is a Beauty Therapist and has heard of Hydroxyacetic Acid being used as a chemical peel by plastic surgeons, sorry but this sounds pretty dangerous to me, if you are not skilled and not very very carefull

This whole concept makes no sense to me. Our skin is constantly flaking off and regenerating. This just seems like a way to speed up fading. The best way to remove a tattoo is laser treatment. The laser is sent into your skin and "explodes" the tattoo pigment, The smaller pieces are then absorbed into the body. Laser treatment can take many sessions to be completely successful. Sometimes even laser doesnt completely remove the tattoo and the remaining spots have to be grafted over.
