Day 19 V. Day 1
Most of the scabs have peeled off by now. The tattoo seems to be brighter and darker than it was before, as you can see in the before and after picture. Most of the skin surrounding the tattoo is just a little pinker than my normal skin color. Half of my tattoo has a distinct dark red outlining as well. I remember reading that after doing a initial TCA peel the tattoo will look darker and brighter since the ink is closer to the outter layers of the epidermis, that sounds good to me, I’ll stick with that.
It should be another couple of weeks before I am able to apply my second application of TCA.
I’m thinking of using this. Any new updates? Thanks, Tina/NJ
No new updates, I have to let my skin heal up a little before I apply the next application. I should be able to do that either this coming Monday or next week. I’ll keep you posted!
Thanks so much for doing this. I’m about to purchase some TCA for tattoo removal and I’ll most likely do something similar with a picture progression on my blog. I’ll be sure to show you a link when I do!
Thank you for doing this website, please continue to update on your progress.
I definitely plan on updating as much as possible, until the very end! I’ve said this before, but I think this is going to be a very long process. I couldn’t say I genuinely condone or condemn Nuviderm, or any TCA peel at this point, it’s just too early to see any results.
If anyone is also doing TCA peels, I would love if you could send me the link to your blog, I would really like to see how other peels have turned out, and also if the process has been similar to mine.
