Tattoos and Laser Removal:
May 2024 published research Study by Christel Nielsen, PhD, Mats Jerkeman, MD, PhD, and Anna Saxne Joud, PhD recognized by Lund University in Lund, Sweden suggests an association between “tattoo exposure” and an “increased risk of malignant lymphoma” (Study p.1) including “laser treatment for tattoo removal seemed to drastically modify the risk” (p.7). The Study reports the statistical significance and limitations, and advises “more epidemiologic research is urgently needed to establish causality” (p.1).
Risk of Lymphomas:
- Specifically, the Study suggests “tattooed individuals have a 21% increased risk (p.9) of overall lymphoma relative to non tattooed individuals.”
- “An intriguing finding was that laser treatment for tattoo removal modified the effect of exposure and results in a substantially higher risk estimate” (p.12).
- “Clearly, not only the long-term health effects of tattoo exposure per sé but also the implications of laser treatment for tattoo removal warrants further investigation in light of the potential public health implications” (p.12).
- See Tatt2Away’s public health-related blog for opinion.
Carcinogenic Considerations:
- Though unregulated in the US, “tattoo ink often contains carcinogenic chemicals,” including certain amines, hydrocarbons and metals (p.1; Vasold p.1).
- “The high laser intensities cleaved the azo compounds, leading to an increase of decomposition products such as 2-methyl-5-nitroaniline, 2-5-dichloraniline and 4-nitro-toluene, which are toxic or even carcinogenic compounds.” (Vasold p.1; Study p.12).
Do you want tattoo ink to be fragmented by laser removal into smaller, potentially harmful, molecules translocating through the lymphatic system and possibly retained in your body? (Khunger p.1; Fraser p.1)

Tatt2Away® is a Prudent Choice for Safe Tattoo Removal
TEPR Non-Laser Method
Tatt2Away uses Trans-Epidermal Pigment Release (TEPR) technology, a non-laser method that safely expels the tattoo ink without breaking it down into smaller toxic particles.
Natural Scabbing Process
Tatt2Away avoids the risks associated with laser removal by expelling ink through a natural scabbing process, reducing the chance of harmful particles entering your lymphatic system.
Reduced Lymphoma Risks
Tatt2Away aligns with your body’s natural healing process, significantly lowering the risk of lymphoma and other health complications compared to laser ink removal.
How Tatt2Away Works
- Microdermabrasion: Tiny holes are created in the tattooed area to reach the dermis layer.
- Ink Extraction: Proprietary 100% natural solution expels the tattoo ink from the skin as the area heals.
- Safe Healing: As the treated area scabs and heals, the ink is safely removed without entering the lymphatic system.
