Scientific research has shown that there are alternative ways to remove tattoos, although these methods work best on amateur tattoos. Tetrinoin has worked to remove eyebrow tattoos. Different types of acids have been used in studies to remove tattoos-and they’ve had the same efficacy as lasers at the time. Mind you, I believe lasers have the best cosmetic result, people have successfully removed tattoos before the invention of lasers. No matter what method you choose, it will NOT happen over night, especially if you want to preserve your skin. I know TCA acid works but it took a period of TWO YEARS of consistent application to remove a small tattoo to the point that it was practically gone.
