Bring a tattoo back to life

2 messages · last activity 6/15/2006

Got a tattoo thats at least a year old and has kinda lost its brilliance...here is a method that will help a bunch...now this method will do nothing for a bad tattoo or one that has really faded...just try it and let me know... Scrub the tattoo with Ivory bar soap in the hottest water you can stand with a loofa sponge...these sponges are available in the beauty section of most stores ( note make sure it is a REAL loofa and not a synthetic manmade one) they cost under 5 bucks...I have seen them at the dollar store for a buck!...Anyway, scrub the crap out of that tattoo!...The loofa WILL NOT DAMAGE your skin!...It will break down before it can damage a well healed tattoo...when finished rinse in COOL water...pat dry and allow to air dry for a few minutes then apply a couple of drops of VITAMIN E OIL....you can use baby oil if ya like the smell...vitamin E seems to be more efficacious....the difference can be amazing!!! REMEMBER use this method ONLY on WELL HEALED TATTOOS!!....There ya go!!...TAz
Reallly man? I'll have to remember that for when my beautiful Koi lose their lustre... There's nothing like a shiny fish.....
