An art student from Udon Thani, northern Thailand, has been left with horrific scarring after a tattoo removal went horribly wrong.
Pasuda Reaw, 21, had a large red rose tattooed across the chest, but regretted it so wanted to have it removed so that she would look more professional at work.
She tried Rejuvi – a chemical method applied to the skin – in February but within days the area had become itchy and painful.
The laser-free alternative applied with a small tattoo gun claims to raise ink pigments to the surface of the skin and create a scab that can be peeled off.
But two months later, Pasuda said she has suffered 'torturous pain' and been left with a large mass of pink scar tissue across her chest.
She said: 'At first Rejuvi seemed like a good way to remove the tattoo. I did not want to use lasers.
'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.'
