Open Question: Tattoo removal aftercare..?

Sorry, I had a large amount of laser removal done on my chest and back (I go back in 1 month for my arms), so every month I will be having a different area of my body lasered. It's a great clinic with both ND:YAG & Alexandrite lasers in Toronto. But I'm a little confused about the aftercare - as I was told by the clinic "leave on bandage for 3 days, only remove and replace if necessary, do not clean area with soap or apply ointment" This sounds a little unsafe - and I heard that aftercare is just as important as the laser itself in the removal process.. while another person told me.. 1) wash once per 24 hours 2) after cleansing, apply hydrogen peroxide to area 3) pat excess hydrogen peroxide with towel, and apply ointment (polysporin, etc.) 4) re-cover with gauze So I'm a little confused at what I should do - I mean I trust the clinic, but they're the only clinic I know who have said not to clean the burned area, and not to apply ointment. And this other persons hydrogen peroxide recommendation sounds unsafe (doesn't it bleach skin?) Any recommendations or guides I should follow? more

Resolved Question: Q about tattoo removal?

I was just wondering how much removing a tattoo about 6x6cm would be.. and would it be painful? I really want a tattoo but I'm worried about the future. In two years if I'm sick of it would it be easy to remove or would it just be a lot of hassle? more

Resolved Question: Just got a really bad tattoo. What can I do to get rid of it?

So its only 4 days old and I've been told to try a lot of crazy thing. Like to pick at it, wash it in hot water.

Resolved Question: Which tattoo removal cream fades the best? Serious answers only please.?

I plan to get one of those creams to fade 3 tattoos. (2 small & one quite large). So when I go get the laser removal, it's cheaper & more effective. Luckily they are all black. In the research I've done so far, I've come to the conclusion that it's the best color to fade out. I'm a mother of 2 kids, no longer rebellious & plan to become a teacher in a few years, so I'm trying to fix a few regrets I have. My life has taken a major turn in the last 10 years. I appreciate all of your help & I would hope that no one leaves any rude comments. Thank you.Thank you Justin~ I called Wrecking Balm earlier today, it's $149.95. Still cheaper than 1 session @ the doc's with the laser! more

Voting Question: Unwanted tattoo any ways to remove with household items? Safe for behind ear area.?

I got a tattoo a year ago but months down the road realized I made a mistake with it. I don't wanna spend tons of money on creams and some of the sites don't let me know if it is safe for where mine is located. It is behind my ear and I really want it gone.

Resolved Question: Tattoo removal to get a lot better/cheaper within 10 years?

Tattoo removal to get a lot better/cheaper within 10 years? Hello : ) I'm only 19, a couple tattoos I got last year kind of bother me, they're pretty random.. (what do you guys think?) The horse/dots next to nipple, and the lightening bolt/sideways music pulse on my chest.. http://img509.imageshack.us/i/10012010190.jpg/ & this cherry blossom tree.. http://img190.imageshack.us/i/10012010192.jpg/ (what do you guys think of them?) Together it'd cost about 1500-2000$ (maybe 8-10 sessions) to remove. I can afford it with money I saved from work. I don't know though It's about a year and a half process. I never got negative comments on them other than they're "random, but cool", but I have an issue with obsessing over them/tattoo perfects.. I know I'll never get any more again. Do you guys think removal will evolve over the next 5-10 years? Perhaps cheaper/quicker? Or has laser technology remained quite the same for a while.. Thanks a lot for your guys help : ) more
