Bad Tattoo?
I wonder what people do if they get a bad tattoo. Just think how awful it would be to have your ex’s name on your body. I checked online to see what was available for tattoo removal. I just found out that the FDA is proposing a ban on over the counter bleaching creams used for tattoo removal. It seems there is information indicating that the creams contain an ingredient that has been linked to cancer. Inkbusters Tattoo removal systems use Trichloroacetic Acid to remove tattoos. It is a very simple removal system that does not require a prescription. TCA causes a controlled inflammation. Inflammation causes the pigment (ink) to naturally break apart and migrate to the surface with new skin growth. I guess it stings a little. It probably hurts less than having your new girlfriend bop your head whens she notices your ex-wife’s name on your chest!

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.
