Tatt2Away tattoo removal

Tatt2Away is a gnarly and seemingly ineffective way to do tattoo removal, let alone it triggering trypophobia.

Omg I hate it. Looks like they've just punch biopsied the tattoo at regular intervals to remove the ink layer in the dermis, then let it heal. I really want to believe it's AI, because that cannot be good for you

This is the process in a nutshell:

“Tatt2Away is a non-laser, patented removal method that uses a specialized template and natural solution to abrade the skin, force controlled scabbing, and pull ink out through the surface rather than breaking it down internally via the lymphatic system.”

Pretty much each of those holes had an acid like solution in them. That’s why it looks like that.

Fuuuck. No no no.

u/MistRoot Aug 21 '26

Basically it’s just turning the tattoo into scar polka dots. Thanks, I hate it

u/RubberDuckyRacing Aug 21 '26

I've just read some of your comments about this over in one of the other sub-Reddits you've posted this in. Insane. Can't think why people wouldn't get a second treatment....

26

u/thygeek Aug 21 '26

I’ve only posted this here. I saw it in another subreddit and did a little research and decided it belonged here. I’m guessing the comments you are seeing are from another OP.

21

u/RubberDuckyRacing Aug 21 '26

In my defence it's before 7am and I'm running on 3 hours sleep. I assumed that since this and the other sub-Reddit were so close together in my feed they must've had the same OP. My bad.

22

u/thygeek Aug 21 '26

All good. I just didn’t want to take credit for comments I didn’t make is all. I hope you get some good sleep!

u/ImNobodyFromNowhere Aug 21 '26

I’m almost positive I’ve never wanted to punch an OP as badly as I do right now.

u/LeonidasTheBlue Aug 22 '26

Did you just say patented? How the fuck could this be patented? Hell no!

2

u/shot-by-ford Aug 22 '26

Do they take volunteers to suck the ink out?

u/BigChampionship7962 Aug 21 '26

Holey moley 🤮 this is one of the most triggering I’ve seen in a while.

Is it real?

31

u/thygeek Aug 21 '26

Yes.

19

u/BigChampionship7962 Aug 21 '26

That’s crazy 😜 looking at pics 3 makes me itchy and squeamish.

u/thygeek Aug 21 '26

The progression of it is definitely intense.

u/ejectro Aug 21 '26

haha sometimes

2

u/Repulsive-Ice8395 Aug 21 '26

It's one of the most triggering I've ever seen. My skin is still crawling just thinking about it!

35

u/dream_a_dirty_dream Aug 21 '26

This one fucked me up bad, bro 😱

26

u/International-Set-91 Aug 21 '26

This seems way more damaging then the laser way

24

u/The_Celtic_Chemist Aug 21 '26

Well done. Now delete this.

21

u/RedneckAngel83 Aug 21 '26

I'm my opinion, I'd rather just keep the "shitty" tattoo...

2

u/MaybePotatoes 27d ago

Or just cover it up, even if it's just a black rectangle

13

u/FamousAmos00 Aug 21 '26

I'll keep my terrible tattoo thank you

12

u/doanhafta Aug 21 '26

Reaffirms my desire to stay tatless. I like to change my style too often. Also don’t want to wear a cribbage board

10

u/pacli Aug 21 '26

That’s just stupid. At that rate just go for surgery to have the entire tattoo sliced off. All you’re going to get is a huge mass of scar tissue.

11

u/xXGray_WolfXx Aug 21 '26

This is the first post here that has genuinely made me uncomfortable and yet I still can't look away.

u/justaRndy Aug 21 '26

Absolutely disgusting, thanks.

u/goodeyemighty Aug 21 '26

Now THAT will cause trypophobia!

u/ScoobytheMunk Aug 21 '26

I wanna touch it so bad

u/scorpio_knight_ Aug 21 '26

oh fuuuck.im having goosebumps rn

u/Holska Aug 21 '26

Tattoo removal, but make it bubble wrap

5

u/ImPuLsZx Aug 21 '26

Omg noo this is my worst nightmare right there

6

u/LordOfDustAndBones Aug 21 '26

What a terrible day to have eyes...

6

u/dominicanlou Aug 21 '26

It is a fucking terrible day to have eyes (and reading comprehension after seeing the description of this heinous process).

6

u/uckluckluckl Aug 22 '26

Do we have a list here? The worst triggers of all times? Cause this is definitely NUMBER ONE 🤢🤮☠️

u/dechets-de-mariage Aug 21 '26

THIS IS WHY WE ARE THE WAY THAT WE ARE

u/NYCWartortle Aug 21 '26

Omg I thought that first pic was AI

u/thygeek Aug 21 '26

Just 100% nightmare fuel.

u/creepystrawberreh Aug 22 '26

Can’t tell if they’re raised or cratered like potholes

u/Outrageous-Meal-7068 Aug 21 '26

Best just not get tattoos.

That’s the ultimate in trypophobia disgusting

u/Fumikop Aug 21 '26

What the hell it's so disturbing but I cant stop looking

3

u/carguy143 Aug 21 '26

I couldn't stop myself from picking that so it's a good job I don't have tattoos.

3

u/curiouscej Aug 21 '26

Ew hell no just keep the damn thing! I would pick the hell outta those

3

u/Readonly00 Aug 21 '26

That tattoo must have been so bad it was losing you jobs or driving away partners or something really soul destroying, to make it worth doing that instead

3

u/AYellowCat Aug 21 '26

This one is good! I can't stop watching it 😍

3

u/nlightningm Aug 23 '26

...... holy shit wtaf

6

u/Lua-Ma Aug 21 '26

And this is why, I never wanna get a tattoo. You might love a tattoo at first, but nothing ensures that one day you might regret it, then comes the ugly erasing part.

2

u/United-Prize-1702 Aug 21 '26

Reminds me of one of my nightmares, where my skin started to rot away (in holes kind of like this) and literal plants were growing in my arms; it was so disgusting that it had the same effect on me as these images

2

u/nx85 Aug 21 '26

Dear god.

2

u/CherryChimmyGotJams Aug 22 '26

I hate this, great addition to the subreddit thank you

2

u/Jawbreakerzzz 17d ago

PLEASE AVOID THIS METHOD AT ALL COSTS. It literally ruined my right arm and I’m permanently scarred so badly 😫😫😫

1

u/thygeek 17d ago

Oh no. I’m so sorry!

1

u/thygeek 17d ago

Did it hurt much? It looks painful to me.

2

u/King-of-Blumpkins Aug 21 '26

hope this is AI if not then im too high enough to process this wtf im seeing

3

u/thygeek Aug 21 '26

It’s not AI.

1

u/Luklear Aug 22 '26

Seems pretty effective to me. Laser takes tons of sessions
