The opinion on tattoo removal creams is as varied as tattoos themselves. With mixed results, fake and working products its difficult to decide what products you should invest your money in.

What the Experts Say

Doctors who specialize in skin conditions are known as Dermatologists; upon completion of their medical degrees they spend several more years specializing in the skin and the numerous disorders that may affect it.

Dermatologists have been known to report a mixed opinion of tattoo removal creams throughout the years, this makes it hard for the public to achieve any degree of certainty about the consistency of tattoo removal creams. Support from industry professionals would give consumers the faith and trust needed in this pain free method of removal. It reveals a lot about this type of product when this backing is lacking. You would expect the producers of these companies to actively seek out this support, it seems like common sense to me.

If you dig hard enough you eventually manage to find a number of experts openly dishing out their thoughts and opinions on these products. The majority holds the opinion, that these products put the skin under unnecessary trauma, creating a number of reactions and skin irritations. With the maximum results achievable being slight fading or lightening of the tattoo.

Developments in the tattoo removal cream field have seen a ray of hope for those wanting to remove unwanted ink. A good number of the latest products are beginning to seek out this all-important medical backing. One or two of the latest products are only available from established clinics and medically qualified personnel, all helping to support their legitamacy. Just remember when you find a product on the web, make sure ay doctors providing medical support, exist and have recognized medical degrees.

Can I trust Testimonials?

The main form of "proof" tattoo removal products seem to use is testimonials of previous clients. Lists of testimonials sport hundreds of individuals all willing shout about how good the product is. However, these testimonials have to be added by the companies Webmaster, whether legit or not. This means the company get to screen the comments first, edit them, or even make up their own from scratch. No contact numbers for people leaving testimonials are ever left meaning we will never know if these people exist. In fairness, the reverse is true, competing companies have been known to slander working products. Check testimonials for inconsistencies and take a good look around before trusting them, it is normally very easy to tell when testimonials are faked and quickly added to a website.

Are the photographs of Results Real?

Generally no, it is vital you examine a number of things when looking how real these photographs are. More often than not they show photos showing results from three, six and nine month periods. These photos generally show a picture of a tattoo faded to a greater extent each time. Let me tell you know the majority of these photos are not real; they are edited with computer software. The pictures for every month are conveniently identical, but the tattoo is faded. What are the chances that they could take the exact same photo of the tattoo each time?

Before trusting these photos be sure to make sure you can see time has passed from photo to photo. This will at least provide you with some reassurance.

Can I trust the scientific evidence?

Many sites provide scientific backing for their tattoo removal creams. Be very careful when reading this information. Be sure to check the quality of surveys and test done on these products and who by. Only trust these tests when they have been carried out by independent medical researchers. Ensure they are double blind, this means the neither the participants or anybody involved in the testing are in anyway affiliated with the company producing the product. I know of multiple products who provide this evidence. All of them very credible companies with professional websites. When selecting your tattoo removal cream make sure you look for these features.

These tests will always have published results so be sure to follow these up before opening yourself up to be taken for a fool.

Overall the majority of tattoo removal creams out there are horrible scams and will do nothing more that slightly fade your tattoo. Do not be put off however. Working creams are out there, its just a case of digging through all the garbage first.
