Anyone ever used Wrecking Balm???

I have a tattoo on the back of my neck and because of it I may not be able to get into the military. Things with my husband are kinda rocky so I'm checking out all my options. Anyways...I was wondering if anyone had used it. My tattoo is different shades of purple and is a couple years old. Just wanting some opinions from real people.

if yout tat has alot of dark colors in it, Wrecking Balm doesnt work very well. and you have to be extremely diligant with putting it on a few times a day, everyday, for weeks, for you to even notice the tat fading...

What is the tattoo of? Unless it's really offensive it shouldnt be a problem, besides you got it long before you ever saw the military as an option. Besides you could just cover it with your hair right? Just keep it a little higher then shoulder length. Short enough that you cant put it in a bun, but long enough to conceal the tattoo.

Where it's at, I can't hide it. It's a butterfly so it's not going to offend anyone. The thing that really sucks is that after basic and tech school, once I am permanant party, I could put a tattoo just about anywhere of just about anything and they wouldnt care. Just not in basic and school. How ironic...a tattoo that I got to symbolize the start of my new life is going to be what keeps me from taking the next step.

Did the guy at the recruiting office tell you all this? I'm in the canadian forces and somthing like that wont stop you from starting an army career. You could always wear a bandaid over it for as long as your in uniform during basic. Out of sight, out of mind.

I've heard that wrecking balm is pretty useless on most tattoos. I've got a black tattoo on my upper back which I'm currently getting removed by laser and I pretty much think that is the only successful way to remove a tattoo
