But sometimes, some incidents occur when you no longer want to keep your tattoo and want to get rid of it. And when you learn what it takes to do it, you understand why it is called a permanent tattoo.
It is not easy to remove your permanent tattoo. More importantly, no method assures you guaranteed complete removal. But you want to remove it no matter what it takes, and you may have learned about laser tattoo removal and its drawbacks as you are looking for natural tattoo removal. So we have listed down the top five methods of removing tattoos naturally.
Salabrasion
Salabrasion is one of the oldest methods used for fading a tattoo naturally. The basic working principle behind this method is to dissolve the ink of the tattoo using a salt solution. But to do that, salt particles need to reach the tattoo ink, which is placed beyond the epidermis (outer layer of the skin). So you have to keep rubbing your skin to make saline solution reach the ink and slowly dissolve the tattoo ink to fade it away. But this is a painful process and a lengthy process. Each salabrasion session takes roughly 30 to 40 minutes, and multiple sessions are required to fade the tattoo. More importantly, it does not completely remove the tattoo. It makes the tattoo less noticeable.
Natural tattoo removal creams
One of the most comfortable natural methods of tattoo removal is natural tattoo removal creams. It is a harmless and painless procedure and does not have serious side effects. In this method, tattoo removal cream is applied to the skin repeatedly to completely fade away the tattoo. Depending on the size and color of tattoo and skin type, a tattoo may take 6-12 months to remove. Tattoo removal creams work either by lightening the pigment in the skin or peeling the layers of skin to fade away the tattoo. There are various tattoo removal creams that are available out there, but not all are natural. So check the ingredient of tattoo removal cream before buying it.
Tattoo vanish method
It is a one-of-a-kind natural tattoo removal process. It is an all-natural method that utilizes no toxins or acids. In this method, a certified tattoo removal technician goes over the tattoo with the tattoo gun and opens up the surface of the skin. A special gel assists in opening up the dermis and helps to pull the ink to the surface of your skin, and allows for the ink eraser to go in to solidify and remove the ink. This leads to the formation of a thick scab once the treatment is complete, which will fall off after a couple of weeks. This process takes about 10 minutes or so, and then the area gets cleaned and covered up. Once the ink comes to the surface of the skin after the tattoo gun has gone over it, your technician will apply an ink eraser to the area. This helps to wash away the ink. After a few minutes, the ink eraser will be rinsed. Your technician will provide you the aftercare healing cream to heal the area. It is a painless treatment with fewer side effects.
Dermabrasion
Dermabrasion is based on a similar principle to salabrasion but more effective. In this method, your tattoo is sanded with the help of a tool similar to a rotary sander by a dermatologist, and tattooed skin is scraped off. Your dermatologist uses the numbing cream to numb the tattooed area, but you will feel sensation during the treatment. After the treatment, it requires a week to heal the skin. It is a natural tattoo removal procedure, but your skin will be raw for one week following the treatment.
Plastic surgery
It is another great way to get rid of your permanent tattoo, but only for tattoos of small size. In this method, the skin grafting technique is used. A thin layer of skin is removed from the healthier part of your body and transplanted onto the tattooed area. New skin will take a few weeks to heal and merge into the old one.
