I have consulted a surgeon & I cannot afford any tattoo removal procedure. However, I've had enough of the tattoo on my neck, especially because it held me from joining the military 7 years ago. I want it off this year so I can join before I turn 29. My question is, would it be safer to have a friend cut it out or sand it off? I understand it's dangerous & perhaps foolish but please understand that I can't live a life of regret any longer. Please...which option is safer for a tattoo on neck.
The most effective and least scarring method of tattoo removal is by laser. Dermabrasion in experienced hands also works well and will take 2 to 3 sessions with healing time in between. An old remedy that used to be successful was "salabrasion", which entails wetting the area and then pouring salt on it and then rubbing the salt into the skin with a gauze pad until bleeding occurs. This is quite uncomfortable without anesthetic and requires proper post treatment care with topical antibiotics and dressings or it came become infected. The results however can be quite good.
