Starting a Fresh Chapter: My Tattoo Removal Journey with Tatt2Away

Introduction

Tattoos have been a part of my life since I was 13 years old. They’ve served as a visual diary, capturing the highs and lows of my journey—from homelessness and addiction to gang life, trauma, and eventually prison. Each piece of ink tells a story, a moment in time that shaped who I was.

But as I’ve grown, transformed, and evolved, some of those tattoos no longer align with who I am today. They reflect values I’ve outgrown and choices I no longer stand by. While they were once symbols of survival, they now hold me back, tethering me to a past I’ve worked hard to leave behind.

A few months ago, I crossed paths with someone from Tatt2Away, and it felt like destiny. I learned about their revolutionary tattoo removal solution—a process as transformative as my own journey.

This journey of removing the past isn’t just about erasing ink—it’s about reclaiming my canvas and creating space for the future.

The Need for a Fresh Start

Over the years, I’d thought about removing some of my tattoos. But traditional laser removal never made sense to me. The idea of having laser explode into my skin didn’t sit right. I wanted a process that felt healthier and aligned with the journey I was on—a way to remove the past without adding new layers of harm.

Just recently, I learned about Tatt2Away, a company revolutionizing the tattoo removal process. Their non-laser approach is safer, more effective, and works with the body’s natural healing processes to lift ink out of the skin. Instead of breaking down the ink inside the body, Tatt2Away uses a patented method to form a scab that naturally falls off, taking the ink with it.

My First Tatt2Away Session

On November 21st, I took the first step in removing a tattoo on my leg that’s been with me since the days I was living a destructive life. For years, this tattoo felt like a reminder of the struggles I’ve overcome, but it also kept me tied to a version of myself that no longer exists.

The Tatt2Away process was much smoother and less painful than I expected. Thanks to their advanced numbing cream, some areas didn’t hurt at all, and the entire session felt empowering. Unlike laser treatments, which can feel invasive, this experience felt restorative—like peeling back a layer of the past to reveal a brighter future.

With just a few more sessions, I’ll have a clean slate, and I couldn’t be more excited about the progress. You can watch the full video of my experience [here].

In my latest How to Battle Podcast, I dive deeper into this topic, sharing stories from other formerly incarcerated individuals and the meanings behind their tattoos. You can listen to these powerful stories [here].

Why Tatt2Away Stands Out

Tatt2Away isn’t just a tattoo removal company—it’s a movement. Their process is:

  • Natural and Safe: Tatt2Away works with the body’s natural processes, lifting ink out of the skin instead of breaking it down into the body.
  • Effective Across All Colors: Unlike lasers, which struggle with certain ink colors, Tatt2Away’s technology removes up to 35% of any color ink with each treatment.
  • Vegan-Friendly: Their methods align with those seeking ethical and natural solutions.
  • Accessible: With over 60 certified locations across North America and Australia, Tatt2Away makes premium treatments available to people everywhere.

What excites me most is their mission to bring tattoo removal into prisons. This initiative can give countless individuals like me the chance to shed symbols of their past and embrace new opportunities. It’s about more than removing tattoos—it’s about removing barriers and providing second chances.

The Journey Ahead

Removing tattoos isn’t about forgetting where I’ve been—it’s about honoring my journey while making room for the future. Each session with Tatt2Away is a step toward reclaiming my canvas and reflecting on the person I’ve worked hard to become.

If you’ve been considering removing a tattoo, I can’t recommend Tatt2Away enough. Their process is less painful, more effective, and feels like a true fresh start. Whether you’re looking to remove a tattoo tied to a past you’ve outgrown or simply want to change your canvas, Tatt2Away offers a solution that’s aligned with nature and your personal growth.
