For those of you new to my blog (shame on you, ha!) click here to go to week 1 of my tried and tested tips for tattoo removal.

It’s week two in my endeavor, so here’s my update!

I think I was a little too excited for this to work huge miracles too fast!  I purchased the Wrecking Balm I recommended last week (even though the packaging reminds me of Ed Hardy…which isn’t a compliment…but I’ll give it a chance).  I still believe in the process, but I’m realizing that this may not be a weekly blog due to slower results.  You have to apply the Wrecking Balm every other day so I know I won’t see a difference for a while. Either way, here is my before picture:

In the box, you also receive a special exfoliating cream and a microdermic machine with two heads (but of course I lost one of the heads in first 48 hours, eeek!)  They also include a cream for after the treatment, along with a special concealer for if you really hate your tat! Here’s how to use it:

Step 1:  Clean the area.  If it’s a hairy area, best to shave it. Luckily for me, no shaving necessary.

Step 2:  Apply the exfoliating cream to the microderm and then put it on low (which is advised for the first few weeks).  Place it over your tattoo and make circular motions for 60 seconds. It doesn’t hurt, but it does become one of those annoying “ugh, this feels uncomfortable when will it stop…” kind of moments.   Wipe off the gel that is left.  I didn’t the first time and it got all over the back of my pants…not good!

I’ve done it three times this week and figure that with a little patience, it will be gone soon. I figure summer is nearly over, so by next summer when I’m bikini ready again I’ll be tattoo free.

As promised, here are two of my other tattoos which I LOVE and will not be getting rid of!
