Quick Facts
- Medically proven affordable solution
- TCA gives us a medically proven solution to tattoo removal that can be done in the privacy of our homes and at a cost affordable to most people.

- TCA may work better than lasers when removing ankle bracelet tattoos. A doctor mentioned it may have to do with the relative lack of blood flow and tissue in the ankle region.
- Works great for cover-ups
- TCA users regularly fade black tribal tattoos to a lighter shade of gray, giving them a much wider selection of colors for the new tattoo.
