PhD student Alec Falkenham at Dalhousie University in Halifax, has been developing a cream that he claims removes tattoos without any pain.
He explains that the cream is cheaper than laser treatments and unlike laser will not cause the skin to blister or scar. The cream simply fades the tattoo over time, although it works best on new tattoos that are less than two years old.
There is still a long way to go and a lot of research still to be done as Alec has only tested the cream on tattooed pig’s ears, he is also unsure of the amount of treatments needed to get rid of a tattoo altogether.

Would you use a cream instead of laser treatment?
The article on CBC News say “The cream will work best on tattoos that are MORE THAN two years old, he adds.”
I would allow him to test this cream on me. If I were to get a job today that would allow me to have my tattoos I would keep every one of them… But As I have just started a job with a well known world wide company… The time has come for them to go, Most of them. Including a massive chest tattoo. I pray for the chance to use this cream!
Hi can you email rosie@thingsandink.com please! Would love to know which company and why you think this
