    do some deep skin peels...it will start removing layers of the skin...my friends did lazer...but it left a scar...the others she did skinn peels...two of them took about three treatments because they were deep...but the three smallones came off fairly quick. You can find peels online.but do go to a reputable site for a do at home kit. she got her skin peels at a place called serumX.com...they can answer any questions you might have.

    Petrolium based products, like vaseline or any lotions that may contain petrolium or lanolin actually drain the color from a tattoo, causing it to fade. But it will only fade so much, it's still going to be visible.

    Yes, tanning beds have very strong UV rays which can over time fade a tattoo. So use sunscreen specially over your tattoo if you have to go tanning.

    Laser is the best way, other treatments can leave scarring.

    Laser is not that expensive, but you will need a few treatments and you have to leave the skin heal for 3 months between treatments.

    Its free to get a consultation at a laser clinic, so make an appointment and they can tell you how much it should cost

    To be honest with you working for a dermatologist years ago, he did laser for scars ect...and I was the first he did it on to get spider veins and a scar on my knee, which one treatment did it, but, it's going to take a lot, I mean quite a few laser treatments to get them gone, and as I remember, even with the laser, which isn't cheap, but reasonable, even after all the treatments, you still might see a little discoloration of the tatoo..otherwise, put a bandaid over it, and go...or some make-up...good luck

    I know an inexpensive, but unsafe way to remove a tattoo: Gasoline and a wire brush. Happy Scrubbing! Do not smoke during the procedure.
