If you’re unsure about about getting tattooed but plan to remove it, made-to-fade tattoos are the ideal solution. They gradually fade over nine to 15 months until your skin no longer shows the ink at all. This method can be performed at home and offers an economical alternative to laser surgery or dermabrasion without involving chemicals.
Salt and Lemon Juice
Salt and lemon juice are the most effective remedies to fade tattoos. The combination allows ink pigments to fade quickly thanks to sodium- and chlorine-based elements found in salt that penetrate deep into the skin, helping fade the ink pigments rapidly. However, salt and lemon juice should not be used to remove an entire tattoo as they could harm the living dermis tissue, leading to rashes or burns if misused. It would be prudent to visit a dermatologist before considering this method.
Aloe Vera
Aloe vera is another effective solution to fade tattoos, as its healing and rejuvenating properties help disguise tattoos. Combined with Paderia tomentose or vitamin E may further diminish their visibility.
Sandpaper and Grinding Stone Mixture
The sandpaper and grinding stone mixture is another effective home remedy that detaches skin cells linked to tattoo ink, gradually dissolving its influence and diminishing it over time.
Salicylic Acid
Home remedies for tattoo removal may not provide optimal results. Instead, opt for professional methods such as laser surgery or excision for greater efficiency.
Skin-lightening Ingredients
Skin-lightening ingredients may help lighten a new tattoo, but these are only temporary solutions and won’t obliterate your tattoo. Consider using chemical exfoliants like lactic and salicylic acid for effective skin lightening.
Ultraviolet Light
Sunlight’s UV rays can hurt tattoos over time. UV radiation breaks up pigments in your skin and causes straight-line work to fade.
