lol, I have a pretty decent vocab but I definitely had to dictionary.com the word efficacious! Anyway, thanks for the words, I just need to decide what to do.... I'm scared to get started trying to remove something and end up mutilated!
I happen to love works by Gustav Klimpt and one painting of his called the Tree of Life is my fave: So I was thinking of doing something like that as a quarter sleeve with the branches kind of up on my shoulder. My tat guy advised that if I am going to try to incorporate a tree with my black band, I would need to do a black tat so I was looking at tree images in do the quarter sleeve: I just don't know about the wisdom of adding ink to my arm when I don't like what I already have.
I guess I give the Wrecking Balm a try and let you guys know how it goes. I hate to be the idiot to spend a couple hundy on a gimmick cream but like you said, it's worth it to start there. I hear what you guys are saying about covering it up or incorporating it into something different but this band is very dark. Ah well, maybe I'll splurge on the Wrecking Balm and then move to more painful/expensive methods as my attempts don't work. Thanks for the suggestion to amputate Bret but I was looking for something a little less drastic. I'm not very good at eating my cereal without my right arm.....
Bummer. I have another tattoo that I was going to do over/intertwined with it but my artist said it might not look right with the BLACK armband. I guess I'll probably have to just live with it. It's just not my fave.
I have a mistake on my upper arm. It's a black tribal band and it goes all the way around. It's definitely not representative of me anymore, if it even ever was and I would really love to have it gone. So does anyone have any success stories with tattoo removal? Wrecking Balm? Laser removal? Cutting? Just kidding on the last one.....
i like the Suzuki VStrom. BUT you've been leaning towards the Tiger for a long time and I seriously believe that your first instinct is the correct one. I will vote for the Tiger.
