tca remove my tattoo

Ok so I'm on day nine and my chest is feeling fine the pink is starting to go and I've got to say my tattoo is lighter especially the green and blue. I'm feeling a lot better about the tca now as at one one point I did think what the he'll I've done. Can't wait for 6 weeks time to reaply. Good bye horrible tattoo :)

That looks painful! What is TCA?
It's all healed now. I've done it 3 times now and it has got lighter but it's such a slow progress x

Hi there, how are you making out with your removal?

Hello I didn't do it again as it was so painful after it has made it lighter but I just keep it covered all the time until I can a Ford laser treatment

tca update

I'm now on day six and finally my chest is feeling better. It has done nothing but itch and peel I've even seen ink in the peeling skin so I am pleased with the first go at it but I'm not sure if I could cope with that pain again lol in 8 weeks will redo again but I will use and 40% not a 50% and hope.its not as painfull

I found this here on the site just add the www to it. I hope it helps, please proceed with as much caution and knowledge as possible. realself.com/question/recently-50-tca-peel-remove-tattoo-its-5days-and-the-tca-still-peeled
Hi welcome to the site. Have you considered having laser instead of TCA as I think this would be much safer? Let us know how you get on.
I have but laser is soooooooooo much money and it's not 100% like the tca. Today my tattoos looks much lighter so there is hope.
Can't wait to see more photos. It's always interesting to see how different removal methods work.
Will post another picture later and it's only the middle part of the tattoo I'm trying to removal so will keep u updated.
Hi and welcome :) are you trying for a cover up or full removal? I don't know much about TCA removal...
Welcome, thank you for including us on your journey in trying to remove your tattoo. Wow, that looks painful! I am a little worried for you, as it's a very intense treatment so please be cautious. What do you use for aftercare?
I've been using nappy rash cream and now oil as it so dry. I'm on a week today and at long last it's not hurting no more just dry and itchy I have been putti.g oil on a at least five times yesterday to stop the dryness. I've decided I'm going to do it in parts next time as the area was big and I think the tca was a tad strong so next time smaller area and 25% tca here's today's pic.
