So I was out drinking last night...how do I remove a tattoo?

Question

Geralt got into a bit of fun with the Blue Stripes last night. After getting rip-roaringly drunk, the Witcher thought it might be good to see if it was possible to float across the river on the bums of four prostitutes. It wasn't. The Witcher woke without equipment and a new tattoo on his neck.

The equipment was easy to recover, as Ves had our back, but now Geralt has a nude woman brandishing a sword on his neck. It sorta clashes with the whole "monster slayer" vibe I'm going for. Is there any way to remove it?

@Andrew The OP did state that it didn't work... Guess I won't be trying to myself then. — deceze, May 23 '11 at 06:58

Talk to Triss about it. She'll tell you that she can remove it, with the help of a few ingredients:

Green Mold
White Myrtle Petals
Wolf's Aloe

White Myrtle is very common, so you probably already have some. Wolf's Aloe and Green Mold can both be bought from Anezka (the herbalist on the outskirts of town) for 125 orens apiece.

What if Triss has already been kidnapped? – Raven Dreamer May 22 '11 at 15:34
@Raven I suspect you're out of luck until you can talk to her again, though I'm not that far in the story yet. – sjohnston May 22 '11 at 15:43

Triss kidnapped? We need to get a spoiler tag for comments! – Iszi May 22 '11 at 17:51
@Iszi But really, any of us that have played the game for all of about 15 seconds should know that at least one if not all of Geralts female interests have the possibility... sooooo SURPRISE! – Jeff Langemeier Jun 11 '11 at 03:40

@JeffLangemeier - Some of us haven't played the game at all yet. I'm still working through the first one. – Iszi Jun 11 '11 at 18:19
@Iszi - I suppose I assumed that since from essentially the opening scene of the first game we find that all of Geralt's female companions are expendible in some manner, we shouldn't be surprised. – Jeff Langemeier Jun 30 '11 at 17:33

In addition to sjohnston's answer:

You can remove tattoo in Chapter 2 , talk to Sìla. There is the same dialog option for removing the tattoo, and you still need those same ingredients, which can also be bought in Chapter 2.

Sìla looks to be unavailable if you don't pick Roche's path. I wonder if Philippa (her counterpart sorceress, as I understand it) occupies a similar niche. – Raven Dreamer May 24 '11 at 19:53
