1. I would strongly suggest not trying this...not only will it not work it will just make whatever you're trying to get rid of look worse
2. Use your brain. In order to remove tattoos, you have to take off at least 5 layers of skin and when it comes to the older tattoos more. You have only 7 layers of skin so you'd have to "peal" off 5 or more layers. This gets so close to the muscle it's not funny. Anyone that says that stuff works is only trying to get your money. Look to see if it has an approval of the FDA. I'll bet it doesn't.
3. I've heard of it but don't know if it works but if it did, I would think that you would have to try it several times because even laser surgery doesn't get it all the first time. From what I understand, the tattoo is inserted under several layers of skin but as years go by, the tattoo fades because the skin is slouged off and renews itself so the chemical peel idea is based on this. It peels the skin faster than nature would do it herself.But do be careful because chemicals can burn the skin so don't think that more is better, it might not be . If you try it, don't leave it on too long and be patient , if it lightens the tattoo abit, you can wait a couple weeks and try again until maybe one day it might be gone. Please make sure to follow all the safety instructions and good luck
4. This will not penetrate deeply enough to make any difference at all in a tatoo. You would need to have a full-fledged dermabrasion (maybe a series) or laser surgery. My brother-in-law had this procedure done and it left some light scarring, but at least he doesn't have his high school girlfriends name on his forearm anymore. I wish all the young people today would try to think into the future before permanently altering their body.
