Question: Tattoo Removal using Goat's Milk

I have a coworker from Guam. He has claimed to have removed a large tattoo on his arm in one sitting by having goat's milk used with a tattoo gun. He said it forces the ink out of the skin. He is removing many on his body in this way. I have one I would like to remove. Is this safe? Does it really work? From what I have seen of him it appears to. The arm he claimed recently had a large eagle on it is perfectly clear.

User avatar Dear phead80,

The methods of tattoo removal that i have heard of are:
1. Excision.
2. Dermabrasion.
3. Laser.
4. Fade away creams.

Never heard of goat's milk used for tattoo removal. Can't answer whether it is safe or not. The fad away creams used for tattoo removal are claimed to have all sorts of natural ingredients and i am not sure about those either.

Thank you very much for using our website http://doctorslounge.com and i hope that this information helped.

Yasser Mokhtar, M.D.
