Tattoos are trendy, fashionable and totally hot... today. However, nobody knows exactly how long they will stay that way. Many of us hesitate on getting a tattoo because of its permanent nature. Those who already have a tattoo may have some worries when they want to remove it and have to choose a tattoo removal method. Don't worry, there are many different tattoo removal techniques that can completely eradicate all traces of the tattoo from your skin. Now you can get a tattoo anytime because tattoo removal solutions are in your hands if you change your mind.

Laser tattoo removal is one of the most common and efficient removal methods in use. A therapist applies a cream on the tattoo and surrounding area to induce numbness. Using a laser ray, the tattoo ink is broken down into tiny parts. These broken fragments are then removed by what we call "scavenger cells" in your body. Be aware that your tattoo cannot be removed in a single session using this method. It actually takes three or more sittings to completely eliminate the tattoo from your body using laser removal techniques.

Another method for removing a tattoo is through the application of specially formulated skin creams. Some creams used for tattoo removal are available over the counter and can be tried over a tattoo patch. These creams contain trichloroacetic acid which promotes skin peeling. Peeling the skin containing the tattoo in this manner eventually removes it completely. Cream treatments may take a longer time to work than laser removal, but this method is proven as well as painless.

Salabrasion is another process used for removing tattoos, though it is comparatively unpopular in regard to other options. In salabrasion the therapist uses water and granular salt to remove the tattoo by abrading the skin. This process is recommended for use on leg, arm, and waist tattoos.

Another tattoo removal process that has recently lost favor is called dermabrasion. This method is effective but it generates more scar tissue than other removal techniques. Dermabrasion should not be used to remove tattoos from the face.

Camouflaging, as its name implies, is a tattoo removal process that hides the tattoo inks by using a new pigment injected into the tattooed area. The new ink or pigment is spread over the existing tattoo to effectively hide it.

Another method that you might consider is scarification. This technique involves applying an acid wash to create a scar over the tattooed area. This method permanently injures the skin and is not commonly used. A painless way of removing a tattoo is the surgical grafting process. Because it is painless it is one of the most common tattoo removal methods used worldwide.
