Try bleaching it so it's not as noticeable

I did before, and people found it very noticeable so I stopped. But recently I got a tattoo which I had to shave my arm for, and I'm tempted to keep shaving them. But it can be very noticeable, so I'm trying to find other ways of hair removal. I know that my friend burns hers off, but that is very dangerous and I would NOT recommend it.

I heard it grows back worse if you shave it? I don't know if you wax it tho

I also think mine is pretty hairy, but I've never thought about shaving them, because there's a chance they'll come back darker and stiffer than before :) so I would say don't shave Them :)

I do it , mine wasn't bad at all though. I just don't like unwanted hair. Ya know? I really don't think it's s big deal do it coming from someone who does it. It's just an extra chore you have to do in the shower. I do it about...every week and a half

I shave my arms. I started when I swam and now I can't stand to go two days without shaving. Just be careful. I cut my elbows all the time. Shave against the way the hairs lay, like you do with your legs. And just remember to use lotion afterwards. I'm all for shaving your arms.

I was always afraid to shave my arms. Instead I make my own sugar wax, it's easy, cheap, and works well.

Try waxing it. Just like a home diy kit from the drugstore or get it done professionally. Waxing the hair, thins it out with each treatment.

You can try a bit of depilatory cream. It's so normal to have hairy arms though. Just love yourself because beauty is your own perception :)

I shave mine! My hair is naturally dark brown so the hair on my arms was very noticeable like yours. I was also scared to do it at first, but I've been doing it for years now and the hair never grows back worse. My arms feel sooooo smooth too. I would definitely give it a try.

You could try nair or veet.

"It grows back twice as thick" is a myth. I used to shave my arms for about a year and got tired of it so I let it grow back during winter break. It's very thin now. But even then I wouldn't recommend shaving and DEFINITELY not bleaching it. Just leave as is!

Shaving your arms isn't a good idea. Your hair won't grow back thicker like some people have said, but it's not a place that is meant to be shaved. Trust me, I have very hairy arms worse than yours I used to be so insecure about them but it's natural to have hair! I'll take a picture and post it right now.

I've shaved mine for a few years. Nothing wrong with it. I actually shave less often than I do my legs. I'm definitely glad I did. I was so insecure about it. You have nothing to lose! I say go for it! :)

If anything wax them! Because its gets the hair at the root and then you have smooth arms for weeks! My friends had hers done and it worke fabulous :)
