Can Creams remove Tattoos Part 2

All the hype about tattoo removal creams is simply BS. None of the creams work and there is zero scientific evidence that these creams remove anything- except perhaps clean your pockets. There are many creams which have unknown chemicals, the purity and quality of these chemicals remains unknown. Many of these products come from the Orient (and never forget, Oriental products have been known to be contaminated with crap). Reports of skin rashes, blisters, dermatitis, allergy and pimples are common complaints by consumers who have used these creams.

The entire industry that deals with tattoo removal is unregulated and not monitored. Anyone can open up a parlor and start to sell anything these days. Many of the creams only contain bleaching agents like hydrogen peroxide or hydroquinone. These tattoo removal creams can be bought anywhere including cyberspace.

In addition, these creams, lotions, and potions for tattoo removal are not cheap. A single jar may cost anywhere from $ 50 and upwards and most websites try and sell you more. Ads such as 2 for 1 or buy one get second free, are common (if ever you see an ad about a product that says buy one, get one free- it is a sure bet that it is a scam). Most of the dealers say apply the creams for 1-3 months and when nothing happens, they tell you that the instructions were not carefully followed.

In general, the more expensive the cream, the less likely it will do anything.

The take home advice about creams for tattoo removal is that they are a waste of time, money and may even be harmful to your health. For those who desperately want the tattoo removed, go and seek advice from a professional.

Lasers are now currently available and even though more expensive, they will do the job. If you do not have money for laser, cover the tattoo with a garment- cheap, safe and works
