Can you get tattoo removal cream at Walmart?

Answer:

Why, yes - you sure can.

It’s called Wrecking Balm.

To be more exact, it’s called Wrecking Balm Microdermabrasion Tattoo Fade System.

And it’s the most well known cream for fading tattoos. It’s the best and most popular over the counter treatment for tattoo removal and tattoo fading.

Why?

It doesn’t hurt and doesn’t leave scars. It doesn’t require a doctors note or any assistance from a doctor. It’s easy to use and you don’t have let anyone know you’re doing it.

And now Walmart sells it everywhere, in all their stores, for anyone to buy who wants to remove a tattoo.

Pretty cool, eh?

Since Walmart is so big, you might have a hard time finding it if you don’t know where to look.

(And don’t count on any of the clerks knowing where to find tattoo removing balm!)

Where is it in the actual store?

You’ll find it in the First Aid aisle of Walmart, the same area that sells medicines, bandaids, and other medical supplies.

Now, alongside the aspirin, you can pick up an over the counter tattoo removal cream.

In fact, here’s a picture of exactly what to look for:

And so how much does Wrecking Balm cost at Walmart?

“What’s inside Wrecking Balm?”

In other words, what are the Wrecking Balm ingredients?

Great question!

As you can see from the alphabetized list of ingredients below, there is no gasoline, horse tranquilizer, or other scary stuff. That’s probably what you were trying to find, eh? OK, that joke might not be funny if you’re worried about it!

Alright – enough jibber jabber.

Without further ado, here is the ingredients list:

Wrecking Balm ingredients:

Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Anthemis Nobilis Flower Extract, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter), Ceteareth-20, Cetearyl Alcohol,Citrus Medica Limonum (Lemon) Peel Oil, Dihydroxyacetone, Dimethicone, DMDM Hydantoin, Epilobium Angustifolium Extract, Eugenica Caryophyllus (Clove) Flower Oil, Glycerin, Glyceryl Stearate SE, Glycine Soja (Soybean) Oil, Iron Oxides, Isopropyl Myristate, Juglans Regia (Walnut) Shell Powder, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Oil, Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Oil, Methylparaben, Mineral Oil, Petrolatum, Phyllanthus Emblica Fruit (Indian Gooseberry) Extract, Polysorbate 20, Propylene Glycol, Propylparaben, Rosemarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Oil, Salicylic Acid, SD Alcohol 40-B, Silica, Talc, Theobroma Cacao, (Cocoa) Seed Butter, Titanium Dioxide, Tocopheryl Acetate, Water (Aqua)

So what here lightens your tattoo exactly? Good luck figuring that out…

…except that, oh wait! The folks at Wrecking Balm were cool enough to elaborate on them for us. Or at least give us something to ponder without revealing all their secrets. It seems there are two things they want you to notice about what’s inside Wrecking Balm tattoo removal cream.

One – something called Indian Gooseberry Extract. Or, if your a nerd, you can refer to it as Phyllanthus Emblica Fruit. According to the company, this extract is a “rich anti-oxidant botanical known for skin-lightening qualities that combat hyperpigmentation”, and furthermore, they go on to say that it gives a huge amount of antioxidents to the skin that is convert toxins and degrade proteins responsible for excessive skin pigmentation.

Two – In regards to Chemical Cell Renewal Stimulus, the ingredient Salicylic acid is of importance. It works magic by making skin cells shed more rapidly, thus preventing pores getting clogged up, and allowing for new skin cell growth.

SO there you have it - the Wrecking Balm ingredients.

Then you, my friend, are in the right place! This information is (somehow) hard to come by… I suppose the company could rightly consider it a trade secret, but then again, it is printed on the actual labels when you buy the product right? So it can’t be too much of a secret! Either way, we’re spilling the beans cuz we’re just that crazy about tattoo removal…

There’s actually a few different pieces to what is collectively referred to as Tat B Gone, as you can see from the photo.

They are simply labeled as step 1, step 2, and step 3. That being said, let’s break down the Tat B Gone ingredients by each “Step” i.e. each different container, as shown in the photo here on the left.

One of the funniest things about a running a site like The Tattoo Removal Creams Guide is getting to be able to read the mail that comes in through our contact form. We get lots of mail from people asking questions about how to remove a tattoo and also hoping to get something for FREE tattoo removal.

I can’t blame them; wouldn’t that be the best of both worlds – a product like Wrecking Balm that removes tattoos and is also, somehow, magically…free?

And thus the focus of todays blog post, which comes straight from our mail bag:

Where can I find a Wrecking Balm sample?

Now, dear reader, if this question means where can you find a sample – or small – amount of Wrecking Balm to test our on your tattoo to fade it, the answer is easy. You can find it here.

Now, on the other hand, if you’re asking about a Wrecking Balm sample in the respectable and understandable hope that such a thing will be free, I unfortunately, and evidently, have volunteered for the job that requires me to deliver you bad news: there ain’t no such thing.

I mean, maybe sometimes Wrecking Balm hands out samples at Lollapoolaza or something, but, generally speaking, this isn’t like a TCBY’s where you can sample one of a hundred frozen yogurts and then buy one. Wrecking Balm doesn’t, to my knowledge, have a program for distributing samples.

Why not?

For one thing, it wouldn’t really make sense to get a free sample of Wrecking Balm.

OK – Stick with me here!

Why do I say such a thing?

Because if you got a sample of Wrecking Balm, it means you’d have enough for what – 3 applications? Well what is that going to do for you? It’s like getting a sample of hair dye. You wouldn’t just color one strand of hair right? And so it is with Wrecking Balm – it takes many applications to see the tattoo start to fade, so a sample just doesn’t make sense in the way a sample of food at a deli does, or whatever.

That being said, if you’d like to ask for sample, I’ll point the way. Go here and ask for a sample – see what they say. And if you get a free tattoo removal sample, then come back and leave us a comment on how you pulled it off, okay?

Trust me, inquiring minds will want to know!

The product consists of a gel, cream, concealer, an “erosion head”, and a “DemoMatic.”

And how is it supposed to work?
According to Wrecking Balm, it works by using…

“….an FDA-approved mechanical hand-held medical device that gently, but effectively, removes the upper layers of the epidermis (outer skin layer). The second step uses a chemical serum that penetrates deep into the underlying lower layers, breaking up the cellular matrix in which the ink pigments are imbedded.”

And then:

“It takes 4 to 6 weeks for cells to naturally regenerate and complete one cycle. This skin cell renewal process is the key as the ink injected cells work their way to the surface for removal. WreckingBalm® safely works not only to break up the ink pigments, but to expedite the process of removal.”

The company claims its product is “devastatingly effective” and offers a free trial along with a money back guarantee, and free phone and email support for its users.

• Tat B Gone is shipped in plain, anonymous-looking packages
• Tat B Gone company ships its products worldwide
• Company does NOT offer a money back guarantee, nor does it give out refunds, accept returns, or deal with exchanges of its products
• However, they do claims 95% of users are “satisfied” with results
• Tat B Gone at Claims that the other companies out their with similar products have stolen their graphics, ideas, and website keywords. They also mock their guarantees. Not sure what’s up with that!

Note: The official website for Tattoo Off has a number of errors as far as links not working and pages not loading correctly.
Others have noted that some of the before and after photographs look suspiciously doctored. Buyer beware.

Cream is injected into the skin, using a device quite similar to a tattoo gun
The cream bonds with the ink inside the skin
The body sees this as something foreign to the body to remove from its system
The body rejects the cream, which now also contains the tattoo ink, pushing it to the surface of the skin
The cream and ink form a scab at the outer layer of the skin
Scab falls off, taking the tattoo with it

Note that this is not a procedure done in home by simply rubbing a cream on yourself!

It is fairly involved, expensive (but not as much as other treatments), and it is ironically a lot like getting a tattoo – there’s a tattoo-like gun device for injecting the ink into your skin, along with a bit of pain as it cuts into you. Rejuvi treatment centers claim this method has a high sucess rate than using laser treatments for ink removal. It’s not as painful either. However, there is a risk of scarring, but it’s supposed to be only a “minor” risk.

Snippets and tidbits about Rejuvi for tattoo removal:
- Users cannot drink alcohol before treatment. It will interfere with the process due to how alcohol effects the blood.
- User should go in on a full stomach.
- Treatment can be applied mid-way through a tattoo if the skin has not healed. However, if skin has healed then user must wait 8 to 12 weeks before removing said tattoo with Rejuvi treatments.
- To fully remove a tattoo will take several treatments over a series of months, usually 3 or 4 treatments spread out between 8 to 12 weeks intervals. After this it will take a few months before skin is fully healed and back to normal. This means it can take about a year for a tattoo to be completely gone and the skin fully healed.
- Rejuvi cream was invented in 1988 in the USA by a biochemist in San Francisco, California.

How much does it cost?
Prices vary with treatment center, country, and so on, but expect to pay around $125 per square inch, per treatment.

Where Can I Get This Treatment?
Rejuvi treatment for tattoo removal is now available in various clinics in the United States and Europe.

(1) A spray-on bottle of Soothing Agent which “prepares the skin for the topical solution.”
(2) A jar of Topical Solution which “erases the tattooed area by lightly dissolving the ink embedded in the skin.”
(3) A spray-on bottle of Protectant Gel which “sooths and protects the treated area.”

How much does Dermasal cost?

Here’s a sample of prices current as of this writing:

How does TCA work to remove a tattoo?
TCA removes a tattoo by applying a method of controlled inflammation on the surface of the skin above the tattoo, using a q-tip to the apply the water-like gel. This inflammation causes a reaction in the skin in which the ink from the tattoo is broken up and surfaces to the top of the skin. Repeatedly applying this technique will cause the tattoo to fade or completely disappear over time.

TCA should at be applied once every 6 weeks. Two weeks its initial application, the treated skin should start peeling, and then from this point it will take aboout a week for the dead skin to peel off completely. At this point, it is recommended to wait another 3 weeks and then start all over again, repeating the process, which is known as a “skin peel”. After repeated skin peels, the tattoo should be either significantly faded or removed altogether.

Does it hurt?
Users reports a mild sting associated with this method. However, this is very mild compared to other tattoo removal methods such as laser treatment.

How much does TCA treatment cost?
Cost varies between different companies making TCA for tattoo removal.

Nuviderm is such company, whose treatments start around $40 per bottle.

Please note that TCA manufacturers claim that this product is not a tattoo removal cream, noting that the substance itself has more of a water like consistency, and works with a different methodology than creams.

However, anyone wanting to get rid of their tattoo and is considering using a tattoo removal cream would likely be very interested in TCA as well, no matter if you call it a gel, lotion, or a tattoo removal cream!
