I Had my Eyebrows Tattooed About 15 Years Ago And Now They've Grown In. Can The Tattoo Be Removed? I Had my Eyebrows Tattooed About 15 Years Ago. My Eyebrows Have Now Grown How Can I Get The tattoo removed?

A: Tattoo removal after regrowth

Sure. Be careful, however, when having them treated. The inks used in permanent pigmentation procedures differ from standard tattoo inks in important ways. Iron oxides are used for these inks and may discolor when treated with tattoo removal lasers. A test spot is indicated before you have full treatment.

I Cannot Afford Any Tattoo Removal Procedure. What's my Safest At-Home Removal Option? 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.

A: At home tattoo removal?

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.

Excision Tattoo Removal I live on long Island and am having a hard time finding a surgeon who will do multiple excisions. I can't live with this tattoo. Its very large and brand new. I need it gone. Laser is not an option because of its size. almost 8"x5" in size. It looks very large due to swelling. I can live with 7 giant scars then to have this on my forearm.

A: Tattoo Removal Options

Hi there-

With technological advancements in lasers, there is no question that particularly with a large tattoo, your best option for removal would be through a laser treatments.

Specific lasers are required, as not just any would work, but this would be your best bet.
