I don't know but the effect is subtle so it shouldn't. I would put a lot petroleum jelly/vaseline over the tattoo when using the soap and I would definitely avoid putting the kojie San on the tattoos. You don't want to need to repair re-ink.

I have been using this for 3-4 months. My husband actually tried using this on a bad tattoo he has hoping to fade it about a month after I bought it and it has not faded his tattoo after daily use for 2-3 months. Hopefully this helps, I can't promise it wont work differently for you though. It lightens quite slowly so it shouldn't hurt to try and quit if it does :)

Hi--I have small (dark)pigments as well. I am Asian, and this help lighten it, but not completely gone. I would recommend it, but be careful! I found that because I applied to the spots, it lighten my skin and leave the rest of my skin kind of splotchy. Hope this help

I used this for when I got a tattoo. I didn't even feel when she started tattooing, but it did wear off as we went on. But for a piercing? I wouldn't even bother, a piercing is so quick it will be over quick. If you have very low pain tolerance I would be more worried about when you snag the piecing on your clothes day to day, but thats just me. I did have a very bad reaction to this product and part of my tattoo came out so just be aware and Don't use this after the piercing is done.

I spent at least two days trying to tan my arms and face using this device and I noticed no measurable difference in skin tone nor did it lighten any tattoos. For that reason, I would not recommend using this on your skin but then again your experience may vary. There are probably better devices if you plan on using this on your skin. (PS...it's a class 2 laser - which i learned after a quick consultation with a friend named Google.)

Yes! What I ended up loving about this product is that it has many shades so you can customize for anyone's skin complexion. And to better answer your question I ran a test of my own, luckily I have a tattoo on my wrist. So because it's a camouflage concealer base it is very buildable. I found it best to start off with the lightest shade compared to your own complexion and using a concealer brush by packing it straight on the tattoo area and a lil around it then go with the 2nd shade up from the lightest. You then should use a stippling brush once the 2nd shade has been packed on you lightly blend it out around it. 3rd step now pack on using the shade that matches your skin complexion blend that out a bit as well and finish it off with a setting powder. I will say this I have a one color small tattoo. If you have a bigger and more than 1 color tattoo I recommend you use a white eyeshadow base 1st before starting all the steps. I hope this helps. If anymore questions ask away.

It just fades the look, I use it to tone down freckles! The more u put it on there darker the area gets which makes it noticeable. Not recommended for tattoos or dark birth marks it only tones and blends the color down ...

From my experience, this peel did lighten my skin. I did one patch area, I diluted the peel to approximately 30% and left the acid on longer while the skin frosted (for about a minute). Afterwards the area reddened and within a day scabbed. The healing process went rather fast 3-4 days, and when the scab dried off, the skin was lighter in that area, and exfoliated which was what I was expecting. I do not let the peel stay on to frost all of the time, and when I don't I do not get any dramatic color change, just a medium to light peel, that brightens the skin more than lightens it.

Mine is too. No worries, it does not color your skin. Your skin will be brighter after just a few uses. Love this product!

It will take a long time to lighten your skin using this soap. It 's the size of a complimentary hotel soap (just thicker). However, it's one of the safest ways to tone your skin. Yes your skin will return to it's natural color if you do not use preventative measures such as sunscreen , long sleeves, umbrellas and wide brim hats.

It won't lighten, but it will even your skin tone. It got rid of my acne scars and dark spots.

I've seen a blog that showed great results from 50%. I don't remember the exact site but do a google search. he showed before and after images after one use and it faded a lot. I believe he used 50% for 4 minutes then reapplied for another 4 mins then neutralized and washed off. Im thinking to try this later but I also saw an article linking TCA to liver cancer so I'm on the fence about it. I definitely got no results trying to fade with glycolic acid, so it's either TCA or laser, but don't listen to people who say TCA doesn't fade tattoos.

No. This product is simply a lot of different kinds of oils. Nothing that would damage your color. If anything it makes it shinier :)

Yes, although I have currently been using if on a scar and it will soften it but not lighten it as the adult version does.

I have applied it to my tattoos twice now, it had lightened it slightly both times, but it is going to take a lot of applications before they going to be really faded. It takes about a week between each use for the skin stop peeling. It makes for a good chemical peel, but if you are in a rush to get your tattoos removed, I would not suggest this.

What exactly is your question? If you are asking if it will even out your skin tone, my skin tone is pretty uneven and I don't notice a difference in my skin color after using (nor did I expect to) but the lotion overall works fantastically!
