Amalgam tattoo’s are mercury in the gum. If you go to the trouble of replacing your amalgams and want to chelate…you will need to have the tattoo's cut out.

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.

Foreign particles may be large enough to be seen on x-rays and occasionally the tattoo is seen to expand over time as inflammatory cells beneath the membrane try to "clean up" the area. unquote

Mercury is mercury; if it’s in your gums or your teeth ….it needs removing prior to chelation otherwise the chelators will pull the mercury from the tattoo around your body.
