All Natural <b>Tattoo Removal</b>. ~ Ashleigh Hitchcock | elephant journal Posted: 01 Apr 2014 05:00 AM PDT Via Ashleigh Hitchcock on Apr 1, 2014 Tattoos are part of fashion mainstream. People get tattoos for many reasons. Reasons for getting a tattoo. 1. To be a rebel. 2. Show commitment to a group. 3. To feel mature. 4. Spring break boredom. 5. To have an intense experience. 6. To look like a badass. 7. A desire to be decorated with art. 8. Commemorate a life event. 9. A desire to feel unique or get attention. In many cases, the tattoo is a cherished object. It is something the owner appreciates for the remainder of their life. Tattoos are permanent. Sometimes people regret getting their skin tattooed and consider tattoo removal. Reasons for tattoo regret. 1. The tattoo is of a boyfriend's or girlfriend's name who is no longer in the picture. 2. Allergic reactions to the dyes in tattoos cause itchy, red bumps or infections. 3. Worry about tattoos causing problems with employment. 4. Fear of other people's judgement. 5. Guilt about spending money on the tattoo. 6. Outgrown childish tattoos gotten as teenagers. 7. Shame of having given into peer pressure and getting a tattoo as just another way to fit into the crowd. Laser tattoo removal can be costly and painful. What if there were a painless and inexpensive way to remove our tattoos? British and South African physicians were wondering the same thing in 1988 and 1990 and came up with some surprising experimental results. The physicians used a control group of 670 patients, who were wishing to remove their tattoos. In both scientific studies the tattoo removal recipe was found to be simple and effective with an 85 percent success rate. The process of this tattoo removal is really quite simple. The doctors mixed common, mildly acidic household ingredients and applied them topically on the tattoo. Performing a mild, controlled burn triggers the body to generate new skin, much like the effects of laser tattoo removal. As the body repairs the damaged skin, the ink naturally breaks down and migrates to the surface with the new skin growth. The body is actually doing most of the work. The acidic mixture is simply the catalyst. Although the thought of applying an acidic mixture to our skin seems extreme, it is similar to a facial peel done at the esthetician's office. It is referred to as the poor man's laser. The recipe for natural tattoo removal. 1. Mix equal parts fresh lime juice and vinegar. 2. Deeply cleanse skin with soap and an abrasive pad. 3. Apply the lime juice, vinegar mixture. 4. It will sting for several minutes. 5. Apply antibiotic ointment and dress with gauze for several days. 6. A scab will form. 7. No picking. 8. When the scab falls off the tattoo will be considerably faded or gone. 9. This process can be repeated once every six weeks until the desired results are attained. A tattoo is a permanent reminder of a moment in one's past. This is a safe, inexpensive and fast way to remove unwanted tattoos.  "My body is my journal, and my tattoos are my story." ~ Johnny Depp Love elephant and want to go steady?

New <b>laser</b> device promises to <b>remove</b> the most stubborn <b>tattoos</b> Posted: 28 Feb 2014 05:34 PM PST CBS News, news source 5:34 p.m. EST February 28, 2014 (Photo: WTSP) Los Angeles, California (CBS News) -- Stuart Yellin hopes this new kind of laser treatment will be able to do what previous devices have not -- completely remove his 11-year-old barbed wire tattoo. "I got it at the spur of the moment with a cousin at the same time, and it started bleeding down my arm in streaks. I hated it." Yellin, 55, has had 27 standard treatments to remove it, but says the typical lasers stopped working. But now, after just three monthly treatments with the new PicoSure laser, his tattoo is fading again. "It's the first new breakthrough for tattoo treatment in about 20 years," says Dr. Gary Lask, director of Dermatologic surgery. Lask says a faster pulse rate allows the device to remove tattoos quicker. "The laser fires at a trillionth of a second. By doing that you're getting a more intense reaction, that destroys the tattoo particles." Fewer treatments are needed, but it still come at a price. The PicoSure costs about $600 a session, double the price of typical lasers. Yellin says he's already coughed up about $10,000 trying to get rid of it, but after a few more treatments, he hopes his tattoo will finally be a faded memory. You may also like...

The Downside of <b>Laser Tattoo Removal</b> - Baxter&#39;s Tattoo Blog Posted: 26 Mar 2014 04:46 PM PDT COMMENTARY Ever since I saw the photos of a young woman who removed her ex-boyfriend's name from her forearm with a scalpel, I decided to make a concerted effort to educate our readers about professional laser tattoo removal. Enlisting two of the country's foremost experts in the field, Robert Pho of Skin Design Tattoo in Las Vegas, Nevada, and Dr. Steven B. Snyder, Owings Mills, Maryland, we proceeded to find and publish the names of others throughout America and Canada who specialize in laser removal of tattoos, both to remove ink their patients no longer want as well as taking off tattoos to make room for newer, more current designs. Well, surprise, surprise. Once again, companies eager to make a buck off the popularity of tattoos, see yet another way to make money off an industry they know practically nothing about. Sure, dermatologists have expensive laser equipment to remove port wine birthmarks, even hair follicles, but a tattoo, as those of us know, is a whole different breed of cat. To remove a tattoo successfully, the technician should know everything possible about how it got there in the first place, including, being tattooed themselves. Without that, it's like taking a rare Renoir painting to be cleaned by the local car wash. One "laser specialist" I talked to (they are planning on opening several duplicate facilities throughout the U.S.) are going shop-to-shop, handing out flyers for their laser business. But who are these people? Yes, I know that a dermatologist might shy away from promoting tattoo removal services (after all, they wouldn't want their waiting room packed with bikers and axe murderers), but tattoo removal specialists should realize that the tattoo community doesn't take kindly to businesses that take (money) from the them but don't give anything back. We have represented and reported on the tattoo world for the last twenty years and, thankfully, people use us as their guide to understanding the tattoo process, from the sterile chain of events to tattoo removal, and yet we have been bypassed by the laser removal industry, with the exception of Robert Pho and Dr. Snyder, who are situated inside the tattoo community, not outside of it. They understand that we all must work together so the quality of the laser equipment and the training of the technician is of utmost importance. Laser tattoo removal is very painful. Taking off too much only extends the agony. Taking off too little doesn't properly prepare the skin for a clean cover-up. And it isn't cheap. Sessions can cost hundreds of dollars, and each session, because of the intensity, can only last a few minutes. Jason Willis had to rent a motel room for an extended stay—several months, in fact—when Dr. Snyder removed Jason's facial tattoos a decade or so ago. Plus, to make matters worse, because laser people don't understand tattoos, they think their clientele is made up of folks who "did something stupid" and want any traces of it removed. They are convinced that tattooed men and women were misguided and that a laser is the "cure." It's not a cure. It's simply a tool for improvement. Like covering over an old 1904 Craftsman farmhouse with a new coat of paint. Tattoos aren't something anyone did wrong. They are signposts of where we were at a particular point in time. Something to be respected and, if they are faded or blocking the way for something better or different, they should be erased in a dignified manner from someone who has an understanding and respect for the process that got it there in the first place. But do the laser tattoo removal specialists join with us in educating the public or work with us to establish a referral list for folks who don't live in Maryland or Las Vegas? No. They respond like we're the enemy. They want the client's money but they don't want to be associated with actual tattooed people. They generate business and promote themselves in ways that are foreign to the very community they say they are serving. Instead of working with leaders and spokespeople of the tattoo world, they turn to marketing geniuses who built their reputations selling toothpaste and ladies shoes. Yes, folks, they are eager to jump on the bandwagon. Problem is: they don't know any of the tunes. To win a FREE laser removal of your tattoo from Dr. Steven Snyder, click HERE.
