Student left with horrific scar after trying to remove tattoo using laser-free method (graphic photos)

A Thai student was left with horrific scars after trying to get rid of the tattoo on her chest using the non-laser technique. Pasuda Reaw decided to remove the rose tattoo because she wanted to look more professional at work but the process went horribly wrong. See more photos after the cut...

The 21-year-old used a laser-free technique which can be applied with a small tattoo gun. The treatment is believed to raise ink pigments to the surface of the skin and create a scab that can be peeled off. However, two months later, Pasuda began to suffer a tortuous pain and was left with a scar across her chest.

She revealed that after returning home from the clinic on February 4 she could not sleep because of a stinging sensation. She cried for most of that night, and 10 days later the area started to fill with puss and the skin was peeling. On March 2 she pulled off the tattoo, leaving wounds on the skin. By May 7, there was still a large pink raised scar.

Pasuda, an art student from Udon Thani, northern Thailand, decided to share the photos of her scar to serve as a warning to others thinking of doing the same. Speaking of the experience, she said:

"At first, Rejuvi seemed like a good way to remove the tattoo. I did not want to use lasers. I began the treatment and immediately it was itchy and hurting a lot. The skin has taken a long time to come off. It was like torture and I could not sleep. What is left is worse than before. I do not recommend this treatment because it hurts so bad and takes a long time. Laser is a lot of money but I wish I had done that. At times the pain of the itching and the scar were unbearable. I shared pictures as a warning to others to be so careful about what they do."
