Most people know that tattoo removal creams are not the best method of getting a tattoo removed. They are moderately expensive and tend to be ineffective in completely removing tattoos. However, they are not considered harmful to the body in any way and are available on the market for those who wish to try them.
At least, that's the case here in America. Other countries do not necessarily allow tattoo removal creams on the market. For example, Tasmania has a ban on these products.
But that ban may soon be lifted. Regulations set forth in Tasmania in the 1970's banned a series of different products (called "hazardous goods") from the market. The government there now says that this broad ban doesn't make any sense. It is considering repealing the ban in favor of setting up a better system of setting product safety standards (akin to what the FDA does here in the U.S.)
