How to quickly remove a tattoo at home

Tattooing is a way of expressing yourself. When a person decides to apply an indelible pattern to his body, he is firmly convinced that he will be proud of him all his life. But youthful maximalism passes and there is no trace of confidence. Sometimes we get a tattoo with the name of a loved one in the hope of living with him all his life. Time passes, life changes, feelings fade away. In addition to memories, this whole story leaves an indelible mark in the form of a tattoo. At such moments, in order to live on, you need to reduce the tattoo by any means.

By far the best way to get rid of a tattoo is to contact a specialist at a tattoo parlor. Experienced masters can offer several options for removing a tattoo:

1. Camouflage is a disguise of a tattoo under a fresh pattern. In this case, the drawing is modified and becomes unrecognizable.
2. Another way to remove a tattoo is cryosurgery. The patterned skin is frozen and excised together with the upper layer of the epidermis. The procedure is not for the faint of heart; unaesthetic traces remain.
3. Electrocoagulation is the effect of high-frequency currents penetrating deep into the pattern. The procedure is quite painful and long.
4. Laser tattoo removal. Painful and expensive procedure.
5. Home abrasive methods of combining tattoos, which we will talk about in more detail.

Almost all methods of reducing a tattoo leave a scar after the drawing - you need to be prepared for this.

Home methods of tattoo removal

For many years in a row, people have been trying to remove a tattoo with improvised means at home. We will tell you about the most effective and safest methods. Alas, none of these methods can boast of being painless.

This is a long-lasting but effective way to flatten the tattoo and get pink skin in its place. You need to buy a bottle of 5% iodine at the pharmacy. It is important to pay attention to the fact that iodine should not be 8% or 10%, otherwise you will simply burn the skin.

Soak a cotton swab in iodine and gently paint over the tattoo. Try not to go too far beyond the edges of the picture. The procedure for removing a tattoo with iodine can take months, but the result is worth it. Iodine the tattoo three times a day for several weeks. Covering the surface treated with iodine with a bandage is not worth it - you can get a severe burn.

After a few days of continuous treatment, you will notice that the skin in the tattooed area has begun to peel off and flake off. This is normal and it should be. Continue processing. The only difficulty is that this method causes itching and burning. It is not worth scratching the wound, and with unbearable itching, it is better to lubricate it with a fatty cream for children.

After two months of regular treatments, the top layer of the skin will come off along with the tattoo and there will be a thin pink layer of skin in place of the pattern.

Sea salt
Take a couple tablespoons of salt, hydrogen peroxide, and soap. Wash the tattooed area with soap and rub with hydrogen peroxide. Then dilute the salt with water until you get a gruel. Sea salt is more suitable for this procedure, as it has large particles. Rub the sea salt gruel directly into the tattoo design. Rub for at least 20 minutes, only in this case you can achieve a real result. Such reduction of a tattoo cannot be called painless, but the end justifies the means. After the procedure, rinse the skin with cool water and tie the area with a bandage. Repeat the procedure every day so that after three to four weeks the paint in the drawing will fade. Over time, the tattoo will completely disappear due to the corrosive properties of the salt.

Celandine
Everyone knows that celandine tincture, its rich broth and the juice of this plant are used in the fight against warts. Celandine burns out the upper layer of the epidermis. We will use this property in the fight against tattoos.

Buy an alcoholic tincture of celandine at the pharmacy. Soak a cotton swab in it and wipe the patterned skin with the composition. Burns can occur at the tattoo site, so remember to apply hydrogen peroxide to your skin to avoid contamination. After treatment with celandine, bandage the skin with a sterile bandage. Two months of daily treatments will completely reduce the tattoo. In its place, a scar will remain, as if from a burn.

Tincture of celandine can be prepared at home. Fill a glass bottle with leaves and stems of this plant, fill it with pure alcohol. Leave in the refrigerator for two weeks. Shake the container periodically. After 14 days, the tincture can be used.

Vinegar
Take 30% vinegar and soak a cotton swab in it. Apply vinegar to the tattooed skin. After treatment, after 30-40 seconds, apply hydrogen peroxide to the area to disinfect the skin and remove the aggressiveness of chemical exposure. After that, apply a sterile bandage to the skin and leave it on for a day. Repeat this procedure every day for a week. After that, give the skin time to recover, and then repeat the weekly treatment. Sooner or later, the tattoo will go away along with the next crust.

First, you need to clean and disinfect the site of the upcoming treatment. After that, sprinkle the drawing with potassium permanganate powder and cover with cling film on top. Fix the lotion with a bandage for a couple of hours. After the specified time, there will be a real burn at the site of the tattoo, which will need to be treated. Soon, instead of a pattern, there will be a dark scar on the skin.

Milk
This method of tattooing is not for the faint of heart. To get rid of the hated drawing, you need to draw milk into a syringe and inject it under the skin at the place of the drawing. The tattoo will start to fester and become inflamed. After treatment of purulent formations, the tattoo will come off along with a thick layer of painful crust. When performing such a procedure, you need to carefully monitor the wound and constantly treat it with antiseptics.

Ammonia
Ammonia is a fairly aggressive substance that can burn the epidermis. In order not to lose its aggressive properties, but to make it a little softer, you need to dilute the alcohol in half with water. Instead of water, we will use a decoction of calendula to simultaneously disinfect the site of the upcoming burn. Pour three tablespoons of calendula with a glass of boiling water and cook the composition over low heat for about half an hour. Then the broth must be cooled and filtered. Mix ammonia in half with a strong herbal decoction and apply to the drawing. Then cover the skin with a bag and leave it on for a few hours. Repeat the procedure morning and evening for several weeks. If there is unbearable pain in the area of ​​the drawing, stop the procedure for a while until the skin is restored. After a week off, return to the note of the drawing. Otherwise, the previous efforts will remain in vain.

Until recently, it was believed that a tattoo is a drawing for life. But this is not the case. Modern cosmetology and home methods successfully remove the subcutaneous pattern, leaving a barely noticeable mark in its place.
