This is basically a dermal abrasion product. If you were to buy sandpaper, pumice stone, some sort of scrub, a vibrator, and hand/skin lotion it would roughly be the same thing.

After a full course my tattoo was not faded. A session with a dermatologist or a surgeon to remove a tattoo - actually remove it, will be around $200 or more depending on the size of the ink and skill of the surgeon.

This product did not work for me and I will not recommend it to anyone.

I cannot believe this scam that Wrecking Balm is selling. I researched the website, looked at very convincing before and after photos and was so excited about fading my husband's tattoo. We did not want to do laser so this seemed like a wonderful alternative. What a waste of $269.90 on 72 applications purchased in March 2010! We followed the directions explicitly. In the end, all we got was a roughed up patch of skin that healed very quickly and looked just as it did the day we started the process. We are so disgusted and disappointed.
I will tell everyone I know (including other internet sites that ask people to rate the products) about this horrible waste of money and deceiving advertising that Wrecking Balm is marketing. Do not waste your time and money!!!

I have a name tattooed on my breast (yes, like an idiot I did it) and it is a name. No colors, just plain ink. I have made my breast bloody over and over trying to scrap it off with the sandpaper included in this kit. I have screamed from pain and the burn afterwards of applying the gel that comes in this kit. I have tried and tried after spending my hard earned money on this hoax. My tattoo is there, all 6 letters of it and none of it is faded. I have taken photos of the tattoo at different stages. I have photos of my breast bloody and also with the scabs. I just took a photo yesterday and the tattoo is there plain as day, you can read it all and nothing has changed. I need to find a doctor to do a laser removal. Save your money. Seriously this does not work and I'm shocked amazon sells this product. It's a total and complete scam. Don't waste your time and money.

Put simply, this product did not work. The before and after photos I took are identical, despite following the directions. My tattoo is a very light grey (having been done quickly by the "artist") and is on thin skin which, if you believe the sales pitch, are ideal conditions for successful tattoo removal.

I scrubbed long enough and hard enough to fully detach two of the abraisive pads from their heads, and had to glue them back on. I used the product for the recommended 45 seconds, and then tried up to two minutes, both with the same effect... Nothing.

I have warned others away from this, and will continue to do so. The bottom line: DO NOT TRUST PRODUCTS WITHOUT OPEN REVIEW SYSTEMS ON THIER WEBSITES!

I've stopped using this product only because I've been so busy with the Holiday season, but judging from the three applications, my tattoo has faded quite a bit. It does sting a bit, but that's to be expected. It's not that bad, though.
It smells nice, cleans up well, and the lotion really helps the healing process.

I was a little aprehensive when I ordered it; but the pictures and previous reviews gave me some hope. My tattoo was done in 2003 so it's not old ink at all and maybe that's why it won't fade but I've used it for longer than the minute and more often than everyother day as suggested I tried to go as suggested but no results and still no results after months of daily use.

The name of this product says it all, its a wreck. It's total crap, and I mean, I knew it was going to be crap but my girlfriend wanted it. Sure, I tried to talk her out of it but she insisted that this is what she wanted for Christmas. So instead of getting her something useful like a kindle or something, I got her this. What a great Christmas that was, you would get a better result than this if you just rubbed sandpaper on your tattoos, its pretty much the same thing. Most of the reviews here are already talking about how crappy this product is, LISTEN TO THEM, and as for the 5 star review I wouldnt be surprised if they worked for this company, its a complete waste of money, STAY AWAY FROM THIS PRODUCT.

I got a tattoo a while back by an amateur artist and badly wanted to take back the mistake i made in trusting him to ink my body. My fiance bought this removal kit at Walmart for $50. It was painful to begin with and it BARELY faded my tattoo. I was hoping this kit would have faded my tattoo enough for me to get a cover up job, but so far all it has done is cause the skin around my tattoo to darken and scar. my skin is now thicker around the tattoo thanks to wrecking balm and my tattoo hasn't faded much. I've had better luck with my own at-home removal kit: a knife to scrape the tattoo. I'm returning this if I can because I'm not in the slightest satisfied with the results. Do yourself a favor and just try laser removal.

i bought this on ebay 149.95 dollars i sand it very hard extra time but nothing change my tattoo still dark

I have a crappy tattoo on my spine that was done at someone's house. It was a huge mistake that I regret. I have been noticing an improvement since I started and it is nearly faded away. As long as you follow the directions and use pressure as the directions say- it works! I'm very happy with my results that I have gotten so far.
