I&#39;m wondering if there are any reasonably priced and safe natural methods of removing tattoos. I have two tattoos that I&#39;d like gone. I could probably live with one of them, but the other I&#39;d really like to remove. I&#39;ve seen ads for stuff like Wrecking Balm, but they are quite expensive and I have no idea of their safety. Could you, Dr. Mercola, or anyone else offer some advice? Thanks.</p> <img src="http://articles.mercola.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=193525" width="1" height="1">
