Discussion: Are Tattoo Fading Creams for Real?

Sunday April 8, 2007
JessJDay writes: "I've been using the Tattoo Off Fade Away Cream for just over 2 months. The website said that you could see visible fading in like 6 to 8 weeks (which I've passed) and all those testimonials claiming how great it worked! I have seen nothing, no results, not even a faded spot! Has anyone tried this stuff or the Tat-b-Gone? Is anyone telling the truth out there is have I been had?"

Do you have any experience with these creams, and did they live up to their claims? Leave a comment below or join the discussion.

Hey. Yeah, I’ve been using the Tattoo Off cream as well. In truth, off and on for several years. My tattoo is still clearly visible, although it has lightened up a bit. I really think that the cream itself does absolutely nothing, however, the scrubbing “prep” cream that has a mild abrasive in it does gradually work. I don’t think you need to spend big bucks on these gimmicks; you could probably achieve the same result from any mild abrasive skin scrub, such as you might purchase at Bath & Body or where ever.

I have been doing professional tattoo removals for over 14 years I wish these creams would work I would just sell them and everyone would be happy . The truth is there is NO easy way to remove a tattoo. Not Laser, Not Salabrasion , Not Dermabrasion Not chemical removal. All methods have advantages and disadvantages. Some tattoos are easier to remove than others. Talk to a professional with good client references and an extensive portfolio . DONT WASTE $ purchasing products from those who sell these bogus creams in order to take your money for false hope. Theres no free lunch.
