Tattoo Removal Or Fading The Safe Economical Way
I know a lot of people that have tattoos. Bill has two one is a wolf which I love and the other was a simple heart with a name on it, but he covered it up with an Eagle, but now it looks like a big blob of ink and I tell him it looks like a buzzard and his mother asked why he had a chicken put on his arm.
I’m thinking about getting a dream catcher on my lower arm, but haven’t decided on a design yet, but I’m worried about how crappy it might look in a few years and that I might want it removed. I personally love tattoos, but working with the public I would probably want it somewhere out of sight.

When you think about tattoo removal you usually think the only effective way is by laser, but that can be very expensive so I was considering getting some of that bleaching cream for Bill’s Buzzard to fade it out and maybe just have the body part redone until I read the press release below.
That stuff has something called Hydroquinone and it is known to cause skin cancer and I had no idea and I also didn’t know that there was a proposed ban by the FDA. I found out that it’s banned in a lot of countries. Good thing you can find good information on the internet.
In the press release below it talks about a product that is used for chemical peels and it’s been around a very long time so I know that stuff would be safe and effective for fading. You can find out more about it at the link above if your thinking of having a tattoo removed and haven’t known what your options might be. More and more professionals are wanting to get rid of tattoos they got when they were young and didn’t care how their image looked back then.
InkBusters.com Press Release
Headline: FDA bans Tattoo Removal Creams?
San Diego - With the launch of it’s new website, Inkbusters.com warns the public about possible health risks associated with using tattoo removal creams purchased on the Internet. The new site states “many” tattoo removal creams sold online contain Hydroquinone, which is usually the active ingredient in skin bleaching creams.
In August 2006 the FDA proposed a ban on over the counter skin bleaching creams containing Hydroquinone due to concerns about Cancer and Exogenous Ochronosis. This proposed ban is similar to those already enacted in Japan, France, Great Britain and Australia for the same reasons.
InkBusters.com CEO Rick Barker notes, “Indirectly—and probably without knowing it—the FDA is saying they think the tattooed public may be at risk if they use tattoo removal creams containing Hydroquinone. This is particularly true when you consider most skin bleaching cream makers––prescription or OTC––never recommend Hydroquinone be used more than 4-6 months for maximum effect. Many tattoo removal cream makers online offer supplies well beyond this recommended period.”
InkBusters.com sells TCA at its website to help consumers remove tattoos in a natural non-laser fashion. TCA is a popular non-prescription skin-peeling agent commonly used by doctors, health spas and private individuals to remove fine lines, wrinkles and acne scars on the face. TCA has twice been medically tested and proven to fade and/or remove tattoos on the body. TCA looks and feels like water and is applied with a q-tip. There is no Hydroquinone in TCA.
