Please don't be so hard on yourself. You tried something that would remove tattoos and in my opinion it is just an honest mistake. Unfortunately you are suffering from your mistake. But, you have also helped those who want to have their tattoos removed the warnings about how dangerous these treatments can be and that extreme care needs to be taken. Sometimes we do things without really thinking it over, some minor and some severe. Hope everything turns out OK or the best it can as long as your skin heals OK, even if you have a little scarring and some traces of the tattoo left. It is better than getting some sort of infection.


I agree. Good luck to you.

Not to sound like a jerk, but you should see a doctor, preferibily a dermatologist. You're skin sounds really harmed. I want tattoos, but am too scared to get them. I did have a few piercings, though. I also did some self things, like try to pierce my tongue with a knife and remove a belly ring with a scissors. With all the stunts I did, the best advice is to be checked out. Once, I had serious infection that could only be treated by medical care. Hope you're ok!

Any chance to have an option to take a picture of it ?.

BUt yeah, if you have the chance you should always go to the doctor. I mean better to go to the doctor to often than not.

Mistakes are part of life, and they suck. just learn from it. then its not been for nothing at least.

I have several tattoos on my upper arms, and you're right. Some people can be judgmental twits when it comes to any kind of body modification.

Plenty of perfectly sane people get tattoos all the time, and removal is hella expensive.

Everyone's entitled to some silly decisions in their life. In the meantime, wear long sleeves.
