I started getting tattooed at 15 years old. I am now 31 and I hate these home made stupid tattoos. I got a few taken off my hand years ago and now I live on the east coast and need one big one taken off my forearm. I went to a doctor and they quoted my $15k to remove my tattoo the other doctor's quotes came in close to that. I can't afford this. I have looked into getting it covered up and every tattoo artist I talk to says there is too much ink and it is going to have to be really dark.
I have to wear long sleves in the hot humid summers, so that my clients wont see my tattoos. I would loose business because most people I deal with are conservative. I looked at some website called www.tatbgone.com and these guys claim that the tattoo will fade in time with some creams. Anybody have experiance with this stuff.
BTW the inks used on my skin back then were india ink and Spalding ink in black, blue and fusia.
Thanks in advance.

Hey there, heres the name's of two very reputable laser removal professionals. Both tattoo for a living, and have been doing removals for several years, with wonderful results.
Steve, from Imortal images, in Charlotte NC (704)347-2521
And Mike Jones from Ink Sane, in Salisbury NC, (704)633-7546
I've had work by both, and have recomended both to many people, with fantastic results.
Do yourself a huge favor and make the trip, It's worth the travel time.

Jack Morton from Rethink Your Ink did my lasering. He is in Southern IL. Definite check out the artists that are using the laser, they often know more about tattoos and removing them than doctors. Get it hit a few times and then covering it up will be a lot easier.
