I just got a tattoo on my big toe last night and the artist put a shading around the ladybug that I can't stand. Is there any way to make it fade? Thank you
Can you fade a new tattoo?

yea... well not that any pro would recommened but there are :)
lets see..
1. if its not healed yet you can pick the scab.. that normaly will help the color fade out (if not totaly) but it could also ruin the rest of the tattoo.. as well as leave a scar on your toe
2.. if its not healed yet.. you could go tanning.. cover the are you dont want faded with some GOOD sun block and the area you want faded leave totaly exposed.. the tanning will draw the pigment out or bleach it out one or the other.. might not work totaly but it will fade it..
3. Once its healed you can scrub the area you want faded with sandpaper till its gone.. (hurts like a bitch an is not recommened but Ive seen it done.. again normaly will scar up though)
4. you can try spending money on the ointments that are avaliable to the public for tattoo removal.. no info on if they work or not but they claim to..
lastly Id recommened just living wit it :) as I wouldnt personaly do ANY of the things I listed above.. and if you do your an idiot :)
take care~
