“TCA Peel for Tattoo Removal”

Hi, How is the TCA peel working for you?

Did you go see a doctor? I am thinking about using the TCA peel on my face!!! I have a very large tattoo on my stomach and I'm thinking about removing some of it so, please keep me updated and post more pictures if you don't mind. Thank you!!

Hi, im also using the TCA peel on a small tattoo. Its now been 3 days since i applied it. It turned brown and it seems like it will start to peel soon. I will post a picture and update on how it looks.

I also tried the TCA peel with no real luck. To generate the kind of burn you need to remove the tattoo pigment- you are opening yourself up to the risk of infection & scarring. I am now into my 2nd laser treatment for my tattoos. When I told the Dr. I had done a TCA peel at home- he was HORRIFIED! PLEASE, PLEASE, think twice before you play around with this acid!

TCA peels do NOT remove tattoos! That is very dangerous. TCA is an acid and can cause SEVERE burns. The best chance of getting rid of the tattoo is a laser. Please DO NOT use this chemical to remove your tattoo. It will not work and it can cause serious injury. Look on this site at all of the injuries caused by chemical peels using tca. Please be careful.

hi..i have a really small tattoo of a star (its just a line with no filling or shading). i was thinking of using tca but wanted to see how its working for other people... Miablue...what has happened with ur tattoo now???

How is it going with you all on removing your tatoos. I have 2 old ones I would like to remove and I have the tca. Just hearing so many different things. Mine are home done with india ink and 30 years old. One small and one about 4"x4". Should I go ahead and try it?

I've done a lot of research on TCA peels and tattoo removal and I lot of doctors are saying that TCA is the only chemical that can reach deep enough into the skin to remove the tattoo. Yes you need to be careful and it does take a few treatments but your tattoo should get lighter and lighter with each treatment. Start with a smaller % like a 25% or less to get your skin used to it and then go ahead and use the 50% solution every 4-6 weeks redo the process for up to a year. Just remember to NOT PEEL OR SCRATCH AND KEEP BACITRACIN ON IT for the full 10 days. just be careful...it is a burn or sorts and quite irritable.

I'm working on removing my 2nd tattoo with the TCA peel. I do a 50% mix, and leave on for about 2 min. I recomend not leaving it on for more than 2-3 min any longer can cause 3rd degree chem burns that may never heal. (I don't think anyone can tolerate the pain that long anyways) this stuff really works, when peeling has stopped, your skin is very soft and all freckles/sun spots are gone but do return after a month or so.

I have a tattoo that I love. The problem is that it has 7 words that have a lot of meaning to me. It is German (the language of love). Flaming skull, winged wheel. Beautiful! The first letter of every word is capitalized. But the fool didn't capitalize the first letter of the first word. I hate that. Of course, the shop won't stand behind it. I should have seen it. It was not a pretty scene! I thought about heating a butter knife to glowing red, and burning it off. Or a blade and cut it out. That's still an option. It's small, just a letter. I'll try TCA. Screw the scaring. Don't care!
