TCA Tattoo Removal
TCA (Trichloroacetic Acid) is a chemical peeling agent used as a cosmetic treatment for removing fine wrinkles, age spots, acne scars, freckles, and of course, tattoos. It is the simplest, cheapest and most effective method you can use to remove tattoos yourself.
The number of treatments will vary depending on the depth of the tattoo, but unlike other methods, the type and color of ink has little effect on the effectiveness of this method.
It works by producing a controlled inflammation in the skin over the tattoo. This triggers the body to produce new skin beneath the affected area, the old skin peeling away in a week or so after treatment. Several treatments will be needed for tattoo removal, with the ink gradually breaking up and moving toward the surface with each growth of new skin.
Depending on the rate of skin healing, treatments will need to be spaced at intervals of between 4-6weeks. Since the new skin will be sensitive, it will need to be protected from sunburn with loose clothing, or a sun block. If you have darker skin, the treated area may appear lighter for a few weeks, but will soon return to normal within a few weeks after the peel.
Does it hurt? People report the sensation as a tingling, or mild burning sensation, but less severe than laser treatment, or having the tattoo applied in the first place. If you have any concerns, the TCA can be quickly neutralized with a mixture of baking soda and cold water.

Tattoo Removal Creams
Tattoo removal creams offer a gentler solution for removing a tattoo yourself. They do work, but they require a higher level of commitment in that they need to be applied daily according to the directions supplied with the product.
Depending on the type of ink used, and the depth it was injected, your tattoo should gradually fade away over a period of 3-9 months. Lighter inks will tend to fade faster, darker ones will tend to take longer.
Tattoo removal creams generally consist of two or three separate products, each of which need to be applied twice daily.
The first product prepares the skin, so that the second can penetrate to begin breaking up the ink. The third cream is then applied to help the process to proceed and to keep the skin healthy.

Tattoo Concealers
Tattoos are applied by injecting indelible ink into the dermis, or second layer of skin. They are designed to be permanent, so removal takes time if you are going to avoid doing serious injury to your skin.
If you need your tattoo gone quickly, your best option is to cover it with clothing, or a tattoo concealing makeup.
