Tattoo owners who wish to enter Tatts Off 2010, a nationwide (UK) search for those tattoos that people wish they could just erase for good, have until the end of June to complete their submission.

Two winners (one male and one female) will be selected from the public by a panel of experts, based primarily on the story behind the tattoo and why it should be removed and naturally, the feasibility of the tattoo to be removed.

Tattoo Erase is a natural process using natural products. Until now, laser treatment or dermabrasion has been the only hope for tattoo removal. Both processes have their limitations. Some colours of ink will not absorb set laser wavelengths, making the complete removal of varied colour tattoos impossible, whilst the Dermabrasion method often requires a skin graft to level out the skin.

However, Tattoo Erase can restore the skin to virtually its pre-tattoo condition. It is a completely natural procedure, less painful than lasers, that is effective at removing all colours including reds, greens and yellows.

All treatments are carried out in clinical treatment rooms by fully trained and experienced therapists. The skin is treated by making a series of dots using a needle, similar to the way the tattoo was applied. Instead of putting ink into the skin, Tattoo Erase uses Kataderm(R), a mixture of natural products that persuade the body to expel the pigment through natural processes. Small scabs form on the treated area that fall off over a period of two weeks taking the ink with them.
