Well done!

There are 3 ways to say this. NO, NO and NO :-)

You will hurt yourself for sure. There is no point in doing this.

You can lower the mercury released by the removal by sweating lots now and

until you see the surgeon. Make sure you replace your electrolytes when you

do this.

Donna - Tattoos can have mercury in them. I believe the red color is the

worst offender, though there may be others. The tattoo that the poster

was referring to though, is a dark band in the gums that sometimes

develops when there are amalgams in the mouth, particularly if the

amalgams have been in contact with the gums.

Helen, do you mean to tell me that there are tattoo inks that have

MERCURY in them?! I really need to know; my son has a tattoo (I didn't

want him to get).

Jackie, thank you for clearing this up. I never heard that term before!

-------------But, you are correct, in that there *can* be mercury in the

tattoo inks that are used for tattoos on the skin. On page 24 of AI, where Andy

lists other sources of mercury exposure, he lists *red tattoos* (mercury sulfide

is the red coloring agent). And on page 75 of HTI, he mentions it again as a

source of mercury, saying that *cinnabar* is mercuric sulfide, and is a red

stone used in jewelry, art, and some older forms of tattooing and make-up.

And also, thanks for reminding me about what I read and highlighted in AI, but

of course, didnt' remember! lol As soon as you mentioned the red ink, it

clicked.

-------------Anyway, long story short, it depends on the color of your son's

tattoo. If it's not red, then you don't have to worry ---------Jackie

His tattoo is black ink, but he wants to get another one (ugh). I'll be sure

that when I design it (yes, I agreed, so I have more input this time), we will

leave red out. I'm hoping he doesn't do it, but that's what I thought about the

first one!

------------Actually, they are referred to as *amalgam tattoos* most often,

when they are in your mouth, but they would contain mercury too. Maybe that's

why you didn't recognize the term ----------Jackie
