Tattoo fading & removal?

I have a tattoo on the top of my foot that half of it literally feel out. Was in the shower pumicing my foot and literally scraped half of it off. I look like an idiot now and just want it to be removed. I understand that nothing is 100% effective. I wonder if you can bleach cream on the tattoo or use tattoo fading creams to just make it not so obvious? Any reccommendations on what to use? I have heard of Wrecking Balm....Let me know!

Update:

I have enclosed a picture so you can see that the end is clearly gone.

Update 2:

I got the tattoo about 4 months ago. And I wasn't pumicing the tattoo. It's on the side of my foot and not really thinking it would just rub off, I was pumicing the side of my foot and when I got out of the shower I noticed it was gone.

    When did you get it? If you mean it was like a thin layer of skin, colored like the tattoo, thats likely just it peeling. Within a couple weeks after getting it, your tattoo peels. Then for the next couple of weeks, it'll look super dull and faded until the color makes its way back up to the surface. Some people freak out because they think its like, disappearing. But why were you pumicing a tattoo? I'm sure it was just the top layer of skin. You need to give it 6 weeks to see what it will REALLY look like. I have to top of my feet done and its just a little worn in one spot where my shoe rubs, and i got it in winter so my feet were like, wet and nasty and always had shoes on because of it, and I never even got an infection.

    You wont look like an idiot.

    If you like the idea, wait and get it touched up. Its going to look better as a tattoo than a wierd discolored scar that WAS a tattoo.

    Just give it time, honestly, and dont freak out :)

    Tattoos don't "fall out" Unless it was fake :) .

    Seriously? That is a very poorly done tattoo. They should not just be rubbed off like those toy/rub on tattoos for kids. That is so strange.

    There are a lot of products out there that remove tattoos, but many of them are not effective. The only true way to get it removed is by a laser and you'd have to see a doctor for that. I've heard that it's pricey, painful (probably as painful as getting a tattoo) and may scar. It's unfortunate but sometimes you just have to deal with the consequences.

    Your best bet is to go to the place where you got your tattoo and explain what's going on, or consult a dermatologist.

    It's probrably not a pernament tattoo , because they dont come off.

    So you've got a (no ofense) Tat Tattoo which you can easily scrub off
