Wrecking Balm for tattoo removal

    It is not something that would give you a migraine, but it is indeed quite a problem when tattoos start to lose their appeal. In fact, if those hearts, flowers, snakes or whatever marks you had your tattoo artist painted on your body start to annoy rather than amuse, you might as well start thinking of ways on how to get rid of them.

    After enduring the painful process of getting those now regrettable marks from a licensed tattoo artist, you are now finding ways to get rid of these body marks and hope that you don't have to go through a painful (again?) solution to address the dilemma.

    Good thing there is indeed a painless way to tattoo removal. Rank My Tattoos provides an article that talks about a wonder cream that can successfully remove tattoos within a couple of weeks. Here is what the article has to say:

    The makers of Wrecking Balm boast of their magical product: a cream that causes your tattoo to fade away. The process requires a system of physical tissue deconstruction along with the cream as well as botanical chemical peels.

    However, the main factors one must consider before jumping on the bandwagon are the ink density, depth, surface size, and color of the tattoo. In order to be successful with the cream, you must use it consistently for weeks to get any type of results. After a few weeks, your body's ability to renew surface cells becomes stronger and the skin will be regenerated, causing the tattoo to fade.

    Now that's absolutely a painless method to fade those tattoos away. If your tattoos are qualified for removal based on the criteria given, then you are on your way to freedom from those now unsightly marks. And with the cost of $150 and a money-back guarantee, it's absolutely pain-free and worry-free. If this isn't the best deal ever, I don't know what else to call this.

    • salt for tat removal

    Useing salt to remove tattoo's has been in use for hundreds of years. The technique is called "salabrasion". Much information is available on the internet. I'd suggest that anyone considering thas remedy perform due dilligence; in other words do your homework. The procedure will cost practically nothing if you do it yourself. Some residual scarring may occur so be prepared. Any city that is a Naval seaport; Norfolk Va, San Diego, Long Beach etc. will probably be a host to professionals whom offer this service.

    I "had" a tattoo

    hey everyone. I had a tattoo of a unicorn. It had a lot of colors, very deep and rich. I was told it could take six months up to a year if I used Wrecking Balm because it is a safe natural method. Well I went on the autoship program so I could get a discount on the price and pay no shipping. Well it took nine months and i used it faithfully as directed and my unicorn is completely gone! So all I had to do was call customer service and cancel the remaining three months of my shipment and it was done no problem! It may take longer than laser but I have no scars and it was much cheaper than laser. I don't trust any of the home-grown remedies..so it's gone and I had no bad side effects so i totally recommend this product!

    Does Lazer Removal Scar?

    I would like to know if Lazer Removal Scars? I have heard from a couple of people that I may not want to use the Lazer Removal because it will leave a huge scar.

    Tat removal/ creams

    Thanks to this site, I will not even consider a cream as I don't need another way to get cancer. The cream obviously does not work and is a waste of money. The laser treatments obviously hurt and scar. If you were strong enough to get the tat in the first place ( and if you say it didn't hurt you are lying ), then man or woman up and get the laser treatments. if you can't afford them, you'll just have to live with the tat. No amount of crying or flaming here will accomplish anything, but show us who you really are. I say Thank You for this informative site and a chance to leave a comment.

    A lot of comments on WreckingBalm. One commenter actually said this site is for commenting on Wreckingbalm. Is this site a scam for that product?
    Anonymous sure has a lot to say here. Are you the moderator? Who runs this site?

    Alright so i have a couple

    Alright so i have a couple things to say

    wreckingbalm.com does say the price for their packages, you just have to know where to look.
    im not trying to say buy it, im sure as hell not going to. i got a tattoo that a friend gave me, a half decent star outline on my right shoulder. parents wanted me to get it removed, i decided im just going to wait and get it fixed. seriously, if you got a tattoo thats your choice to live with. think about things before you do them, hopefully that tattoo you have to live with will make you realize that. if your willing to shell out the thousands to get it removed by lasers, good, but not everyone can be that lucky. theres no miracle cure. your tattoo is there for life, unless you get it removed for a high price.
    let this be a lesson to you, a tattoo is something that will be with you for the rest of your life. think about it before you get it. make sure its something you're still going to love thirty, fifty, sixty years from now.

    Do Not Buy Wrecking Balm!!!

    This product is a complete gimmick...Do you really want to buy from some phony salesman that does not care about you the customer, they only care about their paycheck, not the customers! As for the product it is probally only worth $10.00 but yet they will charge you $149.95 or the $295.95 and it is made from all very cheap ingredients! Do not buy this!!!

    Lower Back Tattoos

    I know I'm late to comment, but I just saw this website. So, with that being said.. This is for the tool that made the insensitive comment about women with lower back tattoos being easy. I have a lower back tattoo, that I got a few years ago, and I've been a happily married mom for over 6 years. Not all women with lower back tattoos are easy, and some of them are even faithful, loving moms.

    Nuviderm

    I recently used Nuviderm. To my surprise when I removed the band-aid this morning it pulled a whole lot of ink pigment with it.I was able to remove more with a q-tip dipped in hydrogen peroxide.I would highly recommend this stuff. I took pictures to prove what I say. The band aid looks funky but I'll show it to those who want to see it. This is 10 days after the first treatment.

    lazer

    I've had 1 lazer treatment done on my tattoo on my back and it has faded significantly, almost completely in some areas. No scarring, but it did hurt worse than getting the tattoo. I'm pretty sure it was a versa-pulse lazer. It was $250 and it will probably take at least 3 more sessions to remove it completely but im hoping after 1 or 2 more it will be faded enough for me to cover it up. I'm gonna try some of the over the counter meds some of you have mentioned and see if that can speed up the process afor less $.

    Im trying something new

    I dont know if anyones ever tried this, but im (just started a few days ago) applying 50% peroxide (the store bought peroxide is 3%)to my tattoo twice a day. Burns like crazy, makes my skin look like it was just torched with a laser. The burnt skin disappears within an hour or so, leaving the skin very irrated. In a couple more days there should be a nice thick scab. I will let you know the outcome after the scab falls off, whether its worth trying or not.

    tats

    just live with the tats unless they say something negative or are a negative picture.
    why would you waste your monet removing them if they are non offensive?
    tats are no big deal and many cops, ceo's, lawyers, doctors and executives have them. they do not keep you from getting a job or a good career. if you're in the professional world, just wear long sleeves, which are required anyways!!!
    i mean, think about it, why waste the money, use commen sense.
    if they are negative in some way, i can see you wanting them gone, otherwise, just live with the choices you made...it's really no big deal...most people do not care if you have tas...they are soo mainstream now!!!

    Its probably better not to use nuviderm on a real big tat. Go with laser for larger sizes.

    Nuviderm

    I've been looking at options and was about to purchase wreckingbalm before the guy I talked to on the phone was maybe the rudest person I have ever encountered. I'm looking to buy Nuviderm can I buy it in stores??

    I Bought It

    I bought Wrecking Balm yesterday... In comparison to laser treatments- it's quite inexpensive- not to mention the fact that it came with a 6 month money back guarantee. I can live with losing $20 for shipping if it doesn't work.
    All I can say is it's worth a shot to get rid of this tattoo I have.
    Another thing- the website says the results in the pictures are not typical- so their not trying to fool any one. If your tattoo meets the preferred criteria and you use it the way your supposed to- I believe it can and will work.
    I guess only time will tell though.

    Research

    I myself am looking into getting a tat removed...just to get another one! lol...But what can I say, I was 18 and wanted one. You can guess where. Yes, lower back...now can u guess what it is? Yes, a butterfly! I know no one else in the world has one! Anywho...I just wanted to say I do think I wanna try the whole do it yourself thing. A fade cream and some apricot scrub. But in doing some research (I do hope you do this as well, instead of listening to any joe blow rant or rave about this product!) I found that the tattoo will actually seem brighter or like new after a couple of weeks of use. This is because, it's obvious if you think of it, the old skin is being removed...the dull skin, so the deeper ink is showing through. But that just means it is working. Anyways thats what I have found to be true with several pleople. Good luck to you all on finding what works. Please do lots of research! I know I will when I get my new tat! =)

    To who ever wrote Tattoos are silly and sinful.

    Well, lets not get into it shall we. But let me just say thank you for being so judgementel. Doens't it say something in the bible about that as well? Or...something about throwing stones? Cause I think you just threw the first one! Too bad we sinful tattoo people can't see into your glass house (since you must NEVER sin)to give you a helpful not asked for sermon. Very sad. Anyways...I will pray for you sir or lady. To not judge others lest you be judged. We will all be judged in the end, so why do it to others now? Well, I feel better! Sorry if I did any wrong spelling...kinda the heat of the moment there!

    Almost got me..

    I have a tat that's about 30 years old. Nasty looking. Done in a parlor in San Diego frequented by sailors. Very deep. Very dark. And now very old. Edges are all blurry, details gone. Looks like a big black stain on my back. I was just about to blow $250 an order the stuff before I read this. I think I'd rather have the tat than the cancer.. Thanks!
