What is tattoo ink made from?

Does tattoo removal balm work on homemade tattoos made from acrylic ink?

  • I did something really stupid and gave myself a homemade tattoo made, and the ink was made from acrylic ink. Don't want my parents seeing it and I'm only 13. Just need help so no hating comments. Just answer it. Also is their any thing I could do to get rid of it at home beside getting laser removal or something like that?

  • Answer:

    We never know exactly what type of reaction will will get until we perform a laser test spot, however homemade tattoos tend to respond very well to laser tattoo removal therapies because the ink is often more superficially applied and less dense that a professionally applied tattoo. We can sometimes remove amateur tattoos in as few as 1-2 sessions, although 6 or more laser sessions is typical for an amateur tattoo.

Depending on what actually 'took', because of whatever methods that you used, it is hard to tell what you will end up with permanently. No removal creams work at all. They only temporarily bleach the surface skin, and do not touch the ink. What you need to worry about, is infection. You are at risk of MRSA, Blood Borne Pathogens, Hepatitis, Staph Infections and more. You need to make sure that you do whatever it takes to heal your 'wound' that you have made, no matter what the outcome. I would keep it clean, and for you (not for anyone wanting to keep their tattoo, or do proper aftercare), you should use Neosporin to help heal what you have done. Neosporin often causes a reaction (unwanted for healing a tattoo) of pulling ink out, usually in tiny white dots. This may actually help you, but mainly should help in healing this quickly. You may have to tell your parents. If you get an infection, it could be very very dangerous, and you would then need to go to the doctors for antibiotics etc. Your life is more important than the mistake that you have made. luck~
