Never Use Tattoo Removal Cream

Jim Trenholm • April 26, 2018

Cleverly advertised as a quick, easy and cheap way to remove unwanted ink, the draw of tattoo removal cream is understandable. However, they are proven to be ineffective and often extremely dangerous.

Tattoo Removal Cream is BAD

A number of tattoo removal cream includes harsh ingredients such as bleach and/or other acids that are claimed to be able to pull unwanted ink out from the skin but this is simply not true. The reality is that tattoo ink lies deep beneath the surface of the skin, too far down for a topical cream to be able to reach.

These tattoo removal creams are loaded with many chemicals that can cause adverse side effects such as scarring, chemical burns, and even permanent texture change. Some fading may occur, as the cream does react with the top layer of skin, however this is literally the effects of the cream bleaching the skin.

People often turn to tattoo removal cream when they are looking for a fast and easy solution to their unwanted ink however, the repercussions of using this removal method comes at a high cost (leaving a bigger problem than your unwanted tattoo).

Tattoo Removal Cream HURTS
