Will benzoyl peroxide (10%) fade a tattoo once the tattoo is healed? i have been using it daily for the past 5 years. now, i want to get a tattoo, but i'm wondering if that means i will not be able to use benzoyl peroxide even after it heals?

: It is imprudent to inject dye under the skin in an area of inflammation or acne. This may lead to immune reactions even scarring. Suggest a different location for your tattoo.
