    Hi my fellow tatooed friends! I have an old tatoo that i've finally decided to remove after 20 years. It was done well at the time and has no scarring etc. Any feedback on either Laser treatment or removal cream such as "LazerCream" would be appreciated! I have you tubed many laser treatment videos already and i've checked out a number of the removal cream websites. Both seem successful, although the cream is obviously a lot less expensive. Black ink fades quite fast, most colours go quick enough too although some colours like green take a few more treatments and I believe white won't go at all. So any feedback appreciated. Thanks Folks!

    ok! Your happy with the treatment so? No scarring I take it. Who are you using? And how long did it take? 6 weeks intervals?

    I've been having mine removed for the past year.it's a long process and apparently the further the tattoo is away from your heart the longer it takes.something about the ink being carried away by the blood the lady said.mine costs 50 eoro every five weeks and is nearly gone now I've had about 8.it's quite small though bout size of two euro coin.Indian ink is almost impossible to completely eliminate.also I had dime white in mine and it's gine now.if you want any details mail me.it's very painful but fast enough treatment.

    That's interesting re white colour being removed. My tatoo measures roughly 2.5 x 2.5 inches. Predominantly black with a bit of green and a bit of orange. It's situated on upper arm. You guy's think the "lazerCream" is legit?

    Anyone have proof of these alleged removal creams?

    Looks like we'll have to do a bit more research or go half's on a tube..;)

    Well if it worked it certainly would be a lot easier and cheaper! More then likely go through with laser treatment unless we get feedback from someone who may have had success re cream.
