Tatt2Away is an all-natural, non-laser tattoo removal system. It’s the only patented TEPR (Trans-Epidermal Pigment Release) tattoo removal product in the US. Its method of action combines mechanical and chemical tools, used by certified technicians, to activate the skin’s natural healing process in a way that draws pigment out of old tattoos.
The tattoos aren’t just faded by this process; it’s a true removal, with the ink visibly leaving the skin. This makes it ideal for a number of use cases.
Sometimes, people need to show immediate results. This can be important for those removing tattoos to join the military, or for getting rid of undesirable tattoos like gang symbols or hate signs. Even while still healing, a Tatt2Away treatment visibly demonstrates that you’re making changes.
Tatt2Away is also ideal for cover-up preparation
The removal technician can focus on the specific parts of the old tattoo that need to be removed to make room for new art. Up to 35% of old pigment can be removed in the first treatment. Sometimes only the darkest parts of a tattoo need to be addressed, but in many cases, one or two treatments are all that’s required to enable a stunning cover-up that wouldn’t be possible using traditional methods.
If tattoos are permanent, how does Tatt2Away remove them?
Tattoos are permanent because they take advantage of the body’s natural healing process. When foreign particles are too difficult to expel, they are trapped in scar tissue to prevent them from affecting the rest of the body.
Tattoo needles push ink, made of large opaque pigment particles, into the dermis, the layer of living tissue under the skin. The dermis responds by forming scar tissue cells around the ink, locking it in place so the body art stays permanent.
Why is Tatt2Away the all-natural tattoo removal option?
Tatt2Away activates a different healing response: the formation of scabs that pull foreign particles out of the skin. Most people are familiar with this process from skinned knees, where dirt or debris gets trapped in a scab and flakes off along with it during healing.
The mechanical component of Tatt2Away resembles a tattooing machine but is built to medical-grade standards. The custom brush bundle is set to a depth designed to affect only the epidermis, the outer layer of skin, without touching the dermis.
Once this layer is carefully removed, a mild chemical called Teprsol is applied to trigger the healing response, pulling pigment out of the dermis and into the scabs that form. After around 10 days, the scabs flake off, and with them, the tattoo in the treated area.
Does Tatt2Away meet vegan standards?
Teprsol, the proprietary formula that powers Tatt2Away, is a mild lactic compound that helps release old ink from the skin and activates the healing response needed to draw it to the surface. Its active ingredient is a natural compound found in the body.
Although some have raised concerns about its origin, Teprsol is derived from plant matter, and no animals or animal tissues are used in its production. This makes Teprsol compliant with vegan standards and a key reason why Tatt2Away is considered an all-natural tattoo removal method.
Teprsol is also known to be non-allergenic. Skin allergies are usually triggered by long peptide chains and other large molecules, but Teprsol is a very small molecule and does not cause allergic reactions.
Why choose Tatt2Away?
It’s all about offering options. For years, laser was the only tattoo removal method that didn’t guarantee scarring. Tatt2Away now provides another option for people who want or need tattoo removal but are wary of traditional methods. With less pain, lower costs, and fewer treatments, Tatt2Away is an appealing choice for those considering tattoo removal.
