Tattoo Removal vs. Tattoo Creation and Scars – Part 2

Tuesday, January 26th, 2010
Dark scar tissue resulting from tattoo gun and not a tattoo removal.

Dark scar tissue resulting from tattoo gun and not a tattoo removal.

As mentioned in a previous post the very act of getting a tattoo can cause scarring which is often blamed on the tattoo removal process if the tattoo is deleted at some point. This seldom discussed side effect of the tattoo process is not usually apparent until the tattoo pigment is removed and the scar revealed has been there from day one after the initial healing process during the tattoo aftercare. That is not to say that an improper tattoo removal didn’t cause scar tissue, but often times scar tissue existed before the tattoo removal process was even considered.

Tattoo scarring can be caused by improper aftercare to sensitive skin and the location of the tattoo. Most tattoos do not cause scarring, but it occurs often enough that tattoo recipients should be made aware of the possibility and make sure the the tattoo artist does not penetrate the skin to deeply, work the skin to hard, follows proper sterilization and sanitation techniques and does not use pigments that may cause an allergic reaction.

Tattoo Gun Scarification

Rotary tattoo guns work at up to 10,000 rpm’s and an electric motor linear shaft up and down tattoo gun penetrates the skin at up to 1000 rpm’s. Anything that penetrates the skin at that speed to the depth necessary to create a tattoo can turn the tattooed area into the equivalent of ground hamburger which is most definitely capable of causing scar tissue, but the scarring is not usually noticed because of the colored tattoo ink disguising the damaged skin tissue.

Nuviderm Can Reduce Pre-Existing Skin Damage

TCA, the active ingredient in Nuviderm, when improperly used at excessive strengths as a tattoo removal agent can cause scarring, but when properly used it does not create scar tissue and, as demonstrated by Dermatologists who use TCA to remove or reduce the size of facial acne scars, it can help repair damaged skin caused by the application of the tattoo itself.

Proper AfterCare is Essential

A new tattoo is essentially an open wound that requires proper aftercare. Improper after care can also result in scarring. In either case the scar can be anything ranging from smooth to slightly raised outlines to a bumpy, raised, and itchy surface and even a full blown keloid scar in the shape and color of the tattoo. Most often the scar tissue will not become apparent until long after the tattoo has been applied and healed. This can range from months to years after the tattoo was applied, especially if you are allergic to the pigment used and expose the tattooed area to UV radiation from the Sun. If you notice an itchy or raised surface on the tattoo after Sun exposure or excessive sweating caused by heat or physical exertion, then you may have scar tissue caused by the tattooing process itself.

In many cases scarring does not occur until latter on especially when the scar is partially the result of an allergic reaction to the tattoo pigment. The greatest percentage of allergic reactions are to red tattoos caused by the pigments used to create the red color.

Scar Treatment Tips

If scar tissue is detected it may be beneficial to treat the area with one of the following:

  • Aloe can help reduce scar tissue and also fade scar tissue that has darkened because to a concentration of skin pigment in the scar tissue itself.
  • Indian Gooseberry can be effective in preventing scar tissue after the wound has healed. It is a rich source of Vitamin C and normally is applied in the form of a gel or cream. Vitamin C is essential to fortify the skin in the area of the wound.
  • Tea Tree Oil is a natural oil that contains Terpenes which have antiseptic qualities and when applied frequently can diminish scars.

Whichever method of scar treatment is used, patience and diligence is required. Scar tissue will not dissappear or be reduced to more acceptable levels overnight. Be prepared for multiple, daily applications of your preferred scar reduction regimen with the understanding that there is no guarantee of success. Be prepared to continue the process long after you would expect noticeable results and you may be rewarded for you persistance.

We at Nuviderm are in the business to tattoo removal, but we also are interested in providing information to individuals contemplating their first tattoo. Seek out the best artist in the best shop in your area for the best possible outcome and satisfaction with your tattoo. Take the time to carefully consider the design and location of your tattoo. It may be prudent to locate your first piece in an area covered by clothing and not easily seen in public just in case you have a change of heart or are employed in a position where obvious body art may be detrimental to your career.

We didn’t originate this saying, but it bears repeating – THINK BEFORE YOU INK.

Tattoo Removal vs. Tattoo Creation and Scars

Monday, January 11th, 2010
Do tattoo needles create scars while creating tattoos?

Do tattoo needles create scars while creating tattoos?

Tattoo removal and tattoo removal cost are usually the subjects of this blog, but today we’re also going to talk about tattoo creation. Anyone who’s ever had a tattoo applied knows that the needle of a tattoo gun penetrates their skin thousands of times and pokes thousands of little holes in order to inject ink into the second layer of skin where the tattoo will eventually reside and become permanent.

Not only are thousands of holes poked into your skin, but these holes are very, very close together, creating what would probably look like a layer of hamburger meat on your skin if it wasn’t for the tattoo pigment  disguising the degree to which your skin has been shredded. That’s why large tattoos require several visits to the tattoo parlor,  your skin simply cannot take having that many holes poked in it over a very large area at one time.  It would create to large of an open wound, and the larger the wound the more susceptible it is to infection, not to mention the fact that the larger the open wound the more painful it is.

Most people fail to realize that when you shred the first two layers of skin to the degree necessary to create a tattoo you’ve done some major damage to the skin and possibly created a scar which can’t be seen because of the tattoo pigment coloring the scar tissue once the tattoo has healed.  Also, the vibrancy of some of the new tattoo pigments would tend to color and mask any damaged skin or scar tissue that may exist as a result of the tattoo being applied.

Now fast-forward a few years when the tattoo you received is no longer that desirable piece of body art you once cherished and you start looking into the tattoo removal options available to you. Laser  removal,  tattoo removal cream, TCA tattoo removal and other home tattoo removal products would be obvious methods  of removal from which to choose.

Let’s say you start with a cream removal tattoo product and after a few months you give up because you realize it’s not working.  After spending several hundred,  maybe $1000 you switch to a TCA product possibly Nuviderm, because by this time  you don’t have much money left and you can buy Nuviderm for under $40.

You read and follow the instructions very closely, and as your tattoo begins to fade  and eventually disappears, you see evidence of scarring and immediately assume it was caused by the TCA tattoo removal product, but in many instances, the scarring has been there from day one, that day being the day you initially received your tattoo and your skin was shredded like hamburger meat in order to inject the tattoo pigment into your skin.

Without a doubt,  scarring can be a tattoo removal cost. Any product strong enough to remove a tattoo from the second layer of skin also carries with it the risk of creating a scar, especially if not used properly and in accordance to the directions provided by the manufacturer.  It is also worth remembering that the creation of a tattoo can also create scar tissue that may go unnoticed until you begin your tattoo removal process.

That is why it is a good idea to remember the saying  THINK BEFORE YOU INK, because sometimes a scar comes with the tattoo, you just don’t know it at the time.

In closing, does getting a tattoo remove virgin skin and replace it with pigmented scar tissue?

Nuviderm Tattoo Removal – Low Cost Tattoo Removal

Tuesday, January 5th, 2010
I cannot tell a lie, Nuviderm tattoo removal works!

I cannot tell a lie, Nuviderm tattoo removal works!

Tattoo removal is a lengthy process, don’t believe anyone who says otherwise. How could something meant to be permanent be easily removed? Even state of the art Lasers require several expensive and painful sessions with no guarantee of satisfaction which is why Laser clinics offer no money back guarantees.

Tattoo removal cream, on the other hand, offers a simple, pain free form of tattoo removal except for one thing – the effectiveness of a tattoo removal cream product is very “iffy” . They contain nothing more than a variety of skin pigment lightening products that may actually lighten the top layer of skin covering the tattoo by removing or inhibiting the production of melanin, the chemical in the skin that determines a persons skin color, but by themselves they don’t lighten or remove tattoo ink.

Skin lightening chemicals most commonly found in tattoo removal cream includes hydroquinone, a suspected carcinogen banned in many Asian and European countries, alpha arbutin, kojic acid and bearberry extract. There is absolutely no medical evidence that any of these skin tone lightening chemicals have any effect whatsoever on tattoo ink. The best proof that they don’t work is the fact that not one tattoo removal cream manufacturer offers a real – no fine print exceptions – money back guarantee without major loop holes and difficult to meet restrictions except for one, and they only accept returns within 30 days that have not been opened, require a Return Authorization number that can never be acquired and require that the returned package be insured by the sender. Fail to meet any of these stringent requirements and they keep your money. For all intents and purposes their so called “guarantee” is just a marketing ploy to try and reassure potential buyers of a risk free purchase when in reality no money will ever be returned.

The truth is, removing a tattoo is a lengthy process that requires patience, care and determination.The main difference in tattoo removal options that actually work is the cost. One ounce of TCA contains the tattoo removal power of about $750.00 worth of Laser treatments and requires about the same amount of time. Put another way, Laser removal costs about 20 times the cost of TCA for an equivalent size tattoo. TCA, when applied as directed, will also be much less painful than the laser procedure.

One weakness of laser removal of tattoos is the color of ink used in the tattoo. Laser destruction of tattoo pigment is limited by the wavelength of the laser in use. Many bright colors of tattoo ink such as white, yellow, pink, light blue and light green are simply not easily treatable by laser.

In fact, using Nuviderm tattoo removal will aid the process of laser removal, if used first, because it will fade the tattoo making the job of the Laser much easier and less painful – less tattoo pigment means fewer Laser treatments and less pain because the faded tattoo pigment results in a less harsh effect on the skin by the Laser beam. Or, you could just finish the job with TCA and not even to go near a Laser clinic saving you the time, hassle and the expense of driving to and from a probably inconvenient Laser clinic location.

If you are looking  for a low cost tattoo removal product with a 6 month guarantee, next day shipping (except on weekends), an 800 toll free customer service line and is an effective alternative to laser tattoo removal then Nuviderm is your answer.

Try Nuviderm, It Works or your money back.

Laser Tattoo Removal and the Creation of Hazardous Compounds

Wednesday, November 25th, 2009

The FDA does not closely monitor the manufacture of tattoo pigments and there have been few, if any, studies into compounds formed when tattoo pigments are decomposed by the heat of laser removal. Because laser tattoo removal is the most popular method of tattoo removal more information is needed about the effects of decomposed compounds disposed of through the lymph system.

Since the tattoo color is often made of an unknown pigment composition a quantitative analysis test was run on tattoo pigments after laser treatment using high pressure liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry. The test was performed using shades of red azo dye pigment. It is known that red tattoo pigments cause the most frequent allergic reactions. It is also known that azo dyes, which are used because of the vibrancy of color they produce, become carcinogenic when heated above 280 degrees Celsius.Temperatures reached when laser is used to remove tattoo pigments are in the 900 Celsius temperature range, well above the temperature needed to turn the pigment into a carcinogenic compound.

Tattoo Removal in Winter

Tuesday, November 17th, 2009
Steve Balmers' tattoo removal looks very uncomfortable.

Steve Balmers' tattoo removal looks very uncomfortable.

Factoid – Statistics show that more people begin a tattoo removal in spring and summer than fall or winter. That’s like always eating immediately after brushing your teeth, it’s backwards.

Cool weather tattoo removal is more comfortable and the treated area is more likely to be covered so no one can see the removal of a tattoo underneath all those warm clothes. That gives the added  advantage of not exposing the treated area to UV radiation from the sun, which is prudent no matter what tattoo remover you happen to be using. Any tattoo removal product that actually works, (and there are plenty that don’t – usually creams), will interfere with skin pigment formation and make the treated area more susceptible to the harmful effects of UV radiation on the treated area. In many cases this can lead to hyperpigmentation or a darkening of the treated area relative to the surrounding skin.

Removing a tattoo in hot weather is more uncomfortable because with each  treatment there must be a healing period which can include peeling of the skin which can cause itching.  Hot, itchy, sweaty skin can drive a person nuts. An itch preventative can be applied, but the sweat will make the application difficult and shorten the duration of the effectiveness because it will be diluted with salty sweat.

In cooler weather the non itch medication will stay in place and provide much more relief.

Chafing is another problem in hot weather. If the removal location is in an area prone to chafe it just adds to the discomfort. A protective bandage can be used to prevent chafing in fall or winter, but in summer bandages are more likely to become unstuck and expose the area to chafing.

When considering the removal of a tattoo, common sense is a very important factor to achieving an effective and comfortable tattoo removal treatment. Do your homework. Choose your product and start the treatment when the weather begins to cool and your tattoo removal experience will have a higher chance of success because you will experience less discomfort, and believe me, any tattoo removal product that works comes with some discomfort.

Any tattoo removal product or method that promises an easy treatment with no discomfort is selling you a load of you know what. Think about it – how is it possible to remove tattoo pigment embedded in the dermis (second layer of skin) without experiencing any discomfort? As they say, if it sounds to good to be true it probably isn’t. They might as well be trying to sell you land for $1 an acre 100 miles south of New Orleans. The land is there, they just neglect to tell you it’s  200 feet beneath the  Gulf of Mexico.

To modify an old saying: Beware of strangers selling tattoo removal creams – you’re about to be screwed.

Nuviderm Reviews – TattooNow.com

Nuviderm Fade and Tattoo Removal Reviews TattooNow.com

Nuviderm Fade and Tattoo Removal Reviews TattooNow.com

As everyone knows, this is a blog about tattoo removal, specifically about the use of Nuviderm to remove a tattoo at a reasonable cost with a high degree of success – if you follow instructions -  instead of  using laser tattoo removal. In the course of every day we talk to people about their tattoos and sometimes we speak with tattoo artists about various matters related to tattoo application and removal.

Recently we spoke with Mary and Gabe who run Tattoonow in Easthampton, Massachusetts. They run  Tattoonow as a tattoo shop, but they also have a website, Tattoonow.com where they display their work  and the work of other tattoo artists and they have some of the finest artwork we’ve ever seen. They have formed associations with some of the finest tattoo artists in the world.

One thing we liked about the way they operate is from time to time they will bring in a laser tattoo removal technician with a machine so their customers can remove a piece they no longer like for a replacement piece or cover up. Some people just want to “clean the canvas” in a particular location with out replacing what was there.

Unfortunately, they had never heard of Nuviderm, but no matter, we still like the way they operate and the integrity of  their beliefs and the way they run their website and other tattoo related endeavors which include hosting tattoo conventions or gatherings where they provide seminars, workshops, discussion panels and, of course, custom tattooing.

Responsible tattoo education is the aim of the gatherings.

They’re next one, the Paradise Tattoo Gathering is Sept 17 – 20 in Hancock, Massachusetts – more information here .

When considering getting a tattoo always remember:

  • Make sure you like the design
  • Tattoo pigment is “permanent” and very difficult to remove
  • Check out your artists’ resume to make sure the skills are there
  • Make sure the tattoo shop is clean and proper protocols are followed

If you get tired of your tattoo and want to remove it you should:

  • Use laser if you can afford the cost
  • Make sure the laser clinic has state of the art equipment that can remove the pigment colors of your tattoo in a reasonable number of sessions
  • Use Nuviderm tattoo removal if you can’t afford laser
  • Read and follow instructions for a successful tattoo removal

Nuviderm reviews says checkout Tattoonow.com for great body art and for effective, affordable tattoo removal use Nuviderm.

Nuviderm works.

Nuviderm Reviews – Temporary Tattoos

Tuesday, August 25th, 2009
Nuviderm reviews kid with temporary tattoo

Nuviderm reviews kid with temporary tattoo

Temporary tattoos that are applied with water fade after a few days.  Usually, these are applied to children for fun  or adults who may want to try wearing a temporary tattoo before going for the real thing. Some can look quite real and can give a hint as to what reactions they will generate from  friends or family members.

Most contain cosmetically approved additives approved for use on the skin, but in the past, alerts have been issued for foreign made  temporary tattoos because they are not labeled with a mandated ingredient list. Also, past imports of henna products for skin use have been banned because of no mandated labels. Henna is approved for use as a hair dye and not as a skin dye for tattoos. Black and blue  henna are somewhat suspect since natural henna normally produces a reddish brown tint. These black “henna” tattoos contain p-phenylenediamine other wise known as coal tar and are unsafe for long term contact with skin, especially children.

Always make sure  any temporary tattoo given to your kids comes in a package printed with a list of ingredients. We don’t want something fun for the kids to be harmful.

As for the ingredients that go into making real tattoo pigment,  always ask the shop owner or artist giving you the tat what’s in the pigment. These days there is usually nothing to worry about, but it never hurts to be safe.

Nuviderm Works

Sunday, August 23rd, 2009

Tattoo removal has come a long way in the last 10 years, there have been some advancements and there have been more than a few steps backwards.

The advances include greatly improved laser tattoo removal techniques, IPL, tattoo displacement products such as Rejuvi and refinement in the use of TCA products like Nuviderm.

Backward steps include the so called tattoo removal creams or gels that do nothing but fade skin pigment and what I would refer to lateral moves, not forward and not backward. Those would include the products that combine tattoo removal creams with exfoliation. The exfoliation is an improvement on just rubbing a skin fade cream onto your skin but  exfoliation isn’t the most efficient way to remove a tattoo. I would compare it to ocean waves pounding into the shear rock cliffs of some island in the Pacific Ocean. Eventually that rock will be worn down to sand and create a nice sandy beach, but who has time to wait for that to happen?.

When TCA was first medically tested as a possible method of tattoo removal the techniques the Doctors used were not nearly as refined as current techniques. Over the past few years the satisfaction rate for TCA has risen to about 93% of all users. That’s not perfect , but it does prove there is an in home tattoo removal product that is being used successfully every day by people just like you. One ounce of Nuviderm has the tattoo removal power of $750 – $1,000 worth of laser treatments. In times like these that’s a significant cost savings. Plus, Nuviderm is guaranteed…but not all laser removal clinics guarantee their work.

Nuviderm works, it’s guaranteed and it puts you in control of your tattoo removal process. What more could you want?
