Will a TCA peel help fade my tattoo? (photos)

The tattoo is too deep to be affected by the peel. I would not do this I've seen some burns of DIY remedies at home.

Thanks for your question. You have a professionally done tattoo, not an amateur tattoo. TCA solution effect will depend on the concentration. Light concentration TCA (10-20%) peel will do nothing. High concentration TCA will scar your skin, don't even think about it.

There is no good rationale for "waiting" to start the tattoo removal process for "months". Once the skin has completely healed from the tattoo process itself (usually within a week or two) you can begin removal. Laser tattoo removal is the only option that will get you what you need without scaring your skin. Also there is no topical cream available that will make a difference so don't waste your money on "Wrecking balm" or the like.
