Final Results of Patch Test and Conclusions


I am fairly pleased with the results but a bit disappointed that with that instense burn, only a little of the color faded. The burn that I thought was going to be a scar just peeled off naturally much to my relief. The green color of the vines changed a bit and turned into a different hue of green. The flowers faded as well.


After this intial test, I am confident that after more sessions, the tattoo would indeed fade until the tattoo would not be too obvious anymore. But I have no idea how many more sessions I need to do--10,20? With the rate of fading my estimate would be-- a lot. I am going to wait 4 weeks, then I'll apply TCA to the entire area this time. In the meantime, I will be putting AHA bleaching cream to the area so the next peel would be even.


I am still considering laser in the future, but since my tattoo has all the colors that laser can't penetrate well, I will just try my luck with this first. To those of you who are considering this process, go ahead it's worth the shot. It's not that painful and the healing is pretty fast. Just don't use too strong a solution.
