Status: offline 		I just got my tatto fixed (it looks FANTASTIC) and I have all this stuff on me from the medical tape that they use to hold the saran wrap on.  I have tried everything I can think of (soap, exfoliant, pumice stone, everything short of Ajax powder) and I can't get it off.  It looks really gross, does anyone have any other ideas to get it off?

Nail polish remover.


Ditto.  It's the acetone you need, not the alcohol.

believe it or not...baby oil and a terry cloth facecloth...the baby oil denatures the adhesive and thent he terry cloth helps rub it off...

I use a pain patch and every other day have to remove a really rotten case of goobers as i call the residue....it is best if someone else does it for you  becasue most of the time you cant get a good positiion to do it so have fun

So when do we get to see your tatoo?

Actually adhesive remover is just  alcohol and some acetone and some stuff to make it less irritating to the skin around the stoma. You can spend the money on adhesiver remover or just buy nail polish remover or rubbing alcohol. I found this out when I went to a wound/ colostomy seminar a few years. Who knew!

Status: offline 		Thank you, you should have seen it before I got it fixed, it looked really jank (to borrow the phrase from my friend Andrea).
It was all lop-sided and shakey in the one part, it took a long time (and a lot of tattooing through scar tissue, ouchie) to fix it.

I'll never understand all this birth control crap.

I've never in all my 48 years taken birth control pills or even used a patch and I've never once gotten pregnant.
