Do you have a tattoo and are now considering the various tattoo removal methods? Consider the following options:

Laser surgery

The most common method of tattoo removal is by laser surgery. Pulses of highly concentrated light beams shatter the ink of the tattoo into tiny fragments which are cleared out by the body’s immune system. It usually takes more than one treatment and this increases the risk for damage to the skin. Experts in tattoo removal claim that new technology has reduced the complications of scarring and are either minimal or non-existent. Treatment afterwards may include:

• Apply an antibiotic ointment and a sterile dressing three times a day.
• Apply cool compresses to reduce discomfort. Take a non-aspirin medication for pain.
• Shower as directed by the doctor.
• Watch for signs and symptoms of infection such as crusting, redness and oozing. Call the doctor to report any of these symptoms.
• For three months, wear a sun block with an SPF of 25 or higher and no makeup in the area treated.

Tattoo Removal Cost and the method used for the procedure are possibly the two greatest obstacles faced once the decision has been made to remove a tattoo. Tattoo Removal has never been a fun project, but when you inject tattoo removal cost into the mix the prospect becomes even less appealing.

Up until the last 20 years or so the methods were fairly limited and results could be less than desirable. Since we are living in the 21^st Century lets concentrate on the tattoo removal cost of the methods available today.

Tattoo removal cream products claim to offer the ability to remove permanent tattoo pigment without inconvenience, irritation or discomfort. That is just a marketing technique used by tattoo removal cream manufacturers or affiliate marketers to coax a few dollars from unsuspecting, trusting souls who want to believe such a process is possible at such a low tattoo removal cost. You may have been in Oz when the tattoo was applied, but reality is a wicked witch when it comes to tattoo removal cream as an effective tattoo removal product. One  skin pigment fade product  manufacturer even goes so far to say – Topical creams are generally only effective on epidermal hyperpigmentation. ¹ That means tattoo removal cream does not have the ability to penetrate beyond the epidermis (top) layer of skin to the dermis (2nd) layer of skin where all tattoo pigments reside. They do not have the power to reach and remove tattoo ink by themselves.

Topical Tattoo Removal Cream

There are three layers to the skin: the epidermis, the dermis, and the subcutaneous layer, with tattoo pigment being deposited in the second layer, or the dermis. The top layer of the skin, the epidermis, is the part we see when looking at the skin.  It is also this layer which protects the body from germs and bacterial infections and seals in moisture contained in the body.

The Epidermis contains living cells which are then covered by a thin layer of dead cells cells that are constantly moving to the surface as the epidermis renews itself.  The dead cells are pushed to the surface as the new ones are produced at the base of the epidermis. The dead cells eventually flake away to reveal a new, smooth, glowing layer of skin beneath.

The epidermis is also the layer of skin that contains the pigment producing cells known as melanocytes. The melanocytes produce skin pigment known as melanin. The more melanocytes a layer of skin contains the more melanin is produced and the darker the skin. The fewer the melanocytes the less melanin is produced and the lighter the skin. Freckles are produced because the melanocytes are not evenly dispersed in the lower levels of the epidermis, creating spots of pigmented skin separated by areas of skin totally devoid of skin pigment.

The question is, does a topical tattoo removal cream, also known as bleaching cream, whitening cream, fade cream or lightening cream or gel have the ability to penetrate through the epidermis to the dermis and remove tattoo pigment?

As a tattoo removal agent Trichloroacetic Acid, commonly abbreviated as TCA (TCA tattoo removal) , has been successfully tested in two medical studies and mentioned in a third study which we could not confirm.

The first known medical study performed to test the efficacy of TCA as a tattoo removal agent was the six year study from1979 through 1984 by two British Plastic Surgeons, Dr T. A. Piggot and R.W. Norris of the Department of Plastic Surgery, Newcastle General Hospital, Newcastle, England.

The Piggot/Norris medical study was inspired by the 1972 published report of a 4 year study by Surgeon Captain R.W.B. Scutt, Dermatologist, F.R.C.P (Fellowship of the Royal College of Physicians) concerning the incident of tattoo regret among the tattooed population of sailors in the Royal Navy between 1963 and 1966. The percentage of tattoo regret among the study group was as high as 70% by the time they were married. At the time, it was discovered that about 500 sailors were acquiring hand tattoos and about 4,000 sailors were acquiring forearm tattoos annually. This eventually led to the discouragement of tattoos on young recruits entering Naval training beginning in the late 1960′s and eventually the British Parliament passing a Bill against the tattooing of minors in 1969.

We’re  alerting everyone  to an upcoming report on TCA as a tattoo removal product. There is no perfect tattoo removal product on the market. Laser  gets better press than it sometimes deserves. It can burn, leave scars and fail to remove some of the lighter pigment colors at an extremely high price. IPL is a form of light used to remove tattoos, but it also has its drawbacks.

Our upcoming report on TCA tattoo removal will be very revealing and of major interest to those currently considering the removal of a tattoo.

Stay  tuned, you won’t be disappointed.

When economic conditions become depressed, as they currently are, how does one know who to trust when it comes to something as important as the removal of a tattoo?

First of all look at the track record of the person or entity dispensing the information. Tattoo removal products that have been around a while are more likely to have a trail of information about them that can give clues as to their honesty and integrity.  Look at their site and be sure to checkout the guarantee offered by the company. If they stand behind their product by offering a short, to the point and easily understood guarantee that gives plenty of time to test the product, then they are more than likely a trustworthy company.

If a product offering is being made by a company that started as the economy started going bad they could be experiencing financial problems which cause them to offer a poor or no guarantee at all.

Always make sure you understand the terms of the guarantee. Call or email the company if necessary for clarification.

If they have no phone number or email address displayed it might be best to avoid them all together. Why would a company with any integrity offer no way to communicate with them?

Anonymous  communication forms also offer a glimpse into the way a company does business. If they are anonymous you have to wonder why they wish to remain hidden.

In times of financial distress it is best to stick with the older established companies that sell the type of  tattoo removal product you are interested in. If they all operate the same way, in an anonymous fashion that should give a hint as to the reliability of that industry’s entire removal method.

In the end we are all responsible for our decisions and actions.

Prudence should be the foundation for all financial  decisions in a bad economy.
