Tattoo Removal Cream - Tattoo-Off Cream Review

There are different ways to remove a tattoo. The most common are with a laser at a doctors office or an at home cream. I have tried both. More recently I have tried the at home cream. I have to say, I am very disappointed. I would NOT recommend it at all. They got my hopes up, thinking it would work, and the customer service suck so bad. It is expensive too. I paid $239 for a 5 month supply, that is what they recommend. Yeah, I am sure they do. Jerks.

My first complaint is the cost. It is expensive, and I would not mind spending the money, if the product worked…even if it worked a little bit. Since the product doe in fact NOT work, it is a waste of money. One month supply is $65, with $4.95 for shipping and handling. Three months is $169, with $7.95 for shipping. The five month supply is $239 and shipping is free. They say that this is a good place to start on their website. Then, there is an eight month supply, with they say is the most popular, and that costs $339 with free shipping. The twelve month supply, with they claim is the best buy, is $479 with free shipping. Like I said- if it worked it would be worth it I think, but for me, it didn’t even fade my tattoo a little. I bought the five month supply, and my tattoo is small, it is about 1 ½ inches long and less than ½ inch wide. The colors are blue and it is lighter at the top and darkens as it goes down. When I used the product one month lasted me three months because my tattoo is so small. I used the product for over five months, and I got no results at all.

On the website it also explains how it works. I do not think that they did a good job of this. In the How It Works page all it says it that it works, no matter the color, type or amount of ink used. It really does not explain at all how it works. They have a page with pictures of before and after shots and I think they made these up. It is easy to doctor pictures on a computer and that is what I think they did to get the after pictures. I would love for one person to contact me and tell me they had good or even a little result with this product. I also think they made the testimonials up on their website. I read them, and come on! Not true and some are just so lame. I read what people thought before I bought this and I do not believe any are written by real people.

The tattoo I am trying to remove is small, 1 1/2" X less than 1/2". The color is blue, and it fades from the top to the bottom, so the bottom is a darker color. The outline is a navy, dark blue.

I tried the Tattoo-Off cream. I started it April 15th, 2008. It is currently January 15, 2009. There has not been a change at all. The color and size and shape are all exactly what they were when I started using the Tattoo-Off products. For awhile there, in the beginning, it almost looked like the color was getting darker. I was pissed. I expected the product to at least fade the tattoo a little.

The first day I used the product it tingled a little and the has not since. It does not hurt at all. To use the product you have to moisten the skin and rub this primer on the skin. It has little beads and is like an exfoliate. Next, you rinse that off and dry the skin. Then you apply the second cream, the initiator. You leave this one for ten minutes before putting clothes on, so it can dry. You are supposed to do this twice a day. When you get the product you will receive no explanations on how to use the product. They just put it on the product that you put it one your skin. I would have like to know how long to rub the primer on, and when to expect to see a difference. Or maybe how much of the initiator to put on. I suppose they cannot do that because their product does not work! I feel like such a loser to believe it would work. I was disappointed that there was such a lack of instructions. This also gets on your clothes and will stain it, so be careful. Now, I have all these clothes that are ruined because there is a brown stain on them. Sick.

Another thing I did notice is that there were little red bumps around the tattoo area. It seemed like it was clogging my pores. So sick, I do not think a product should do that. It did clear up after a couple of days, I only applied the product once a day, to help let clear up. My skin did at time get bumpy and raised. I was hoping that it was working, but it wasn't.

I am sick of using the product, I actually got sick of using the product after a couple of days. Too much work because it is too messy and you have to walk around without clothes for at least ten minutes to let it dry, only for it to still get all over your clothes.

I emailed the company because I was frustrated that it is not working. They sent me a "cookie cutter" generic email back.
We cannot say because all tattoo's are different and everyone is different. I asked for refund and they just said it took time to work. It took over a week for them to even respond to my email. I am getting more irritated with them.

Then, I sent a second email telling them how I am disappointed and their product sucks and their customer service sucks. I think for spending that much money, if it doesn't work, the right thing to do is refund the money back. They replied, after a long time again, that they are sorry and it is beyond their control. They can not guarantee their product. Nice Tattoo-Off, you basically just told me how much you suck yourself.

In the end, I have put a complaint into the Better Business Bureau. The just emailed me and said they mailed the companies response is in the mail. I am guessing nothing will be done about it, and I think the company can suck it. They have a horrible product and horrible customer service. I think if you really believe your product will work you should hear the complaints and try to make it right with that customer. It is such a hoax and I would never buy it again! I wish I would not have done it in the first place. I am desperate to get rid of this tattoo, and I started with lasering to get rid of it. The place I go to stopped doing it, and I live in a smaller town up north, and there is not a single place that does it up here. Lasering is expensive, but it actually works. Look into that route if you want to get rid of a tattoo. I think that is the only way to get rid of a tattoo and the only option that works.

I am just so mad at this company, and if they would have actually talked to me about it and refunded my money, I would still think their product sucks, but I would think the company was at least okay. I would never do business with them again. The only thing I can do now is hope that people read this and that they do not waste their money and get their hopes up that it might work. IT DOES NOT WORK AT ALL, NOT EVEN A LITTLE!!!!! DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!!!! I would give it -1,000 stars on a scale of one to ten.

I would NEVER buy this in my life again and I think you are a moron if you buy it, especially after reading this. I did research and everyone said it worked, that is why I gave it a chance. I kind of wonder if they make comments posing to be regular people and toot their own horn in hopes to get people to buy their product. I cannot imagine this really worked for anyone. DO NOT BUY IT!!!!!! DO NOT BUY IT!!!!!!!!! It will be a waste of your money, and it is not cheap.
