Safe and effective Tattoo Removal
October 14, 2007 4:52 pm ReviewsI just recently found out that there is a ban on the bleaching creams that you can purchase across the counter for tattoo removal. The reason for this ban is because an ingredient found in these creams has now been linked to cancer.
Tattoo’s fade over the years, or in some cases you have a name tattoo that needs to be removed, and you are faced with either getting the tattoo redone or removing it with a laser removal procedure or these creams which are now under a ban. However there is still other safe as well as cost effective solutions for your consideration.
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.

I had no idea about this. I have a tattoo on my wrist that I was thinking about getting removed, although tattoo removal is a fairly new practice that I will wait quite a long time until I decide how to remove it, or else cover it up, heh. Thanks so much for this post.

a friend of mine has a Betty Boop tattoo on her hip, I told her when she gets older that Betty Boop will turn into Betty Droop.
