How to Remove Tattoo Naturally

The notion of removing a tattoo using natural remedies has been a subject of extensive debate. Some individuals believe that it is possible to eliminate a tattoo without resorting to laser tattoo removal. However, for others, these remedies and natural ways slightly work on tattoos, considering the deeply injected ink in the dermis. Whatever the case may be, if you can’t afford to get laser therapy for your no-longer-wanted tattoos, you should try traditional ways of removing a tattoo. 

It’s always advisable to consult with a dermatologist or a tattoo removal specialist before attempting any tattoo removal process.

Remedies for Removing a Tattoo

The following are some of the most practiced remedies that have been used for naturally removing a tattoo. However, their effectiveness is largely unproven, and they may carry risks such as scarring or skin damage. Therefore, this blog is for educational purposes and not corroborating or recommending the following techniques for removing a tattoo.  

Honey and Aloe Vera Gel Paste

Combine honey, aloe vera gel, and yogurt. After that, add some salt. After a few minutes, apply it gently to the tattoo and leave it for 15 minutes. After that, wash it with cold water or clean it with a nice towel. If your tattoo is old, apply this paste four times a day. However, discontinue use immediately if the paste causes adverse effects. 

Lemon and Honey

Some people believe a mixture of lemon juice and honey can help fade a tattoo when rubbed on it daily over a long period of time. Lemon has natural bleaching properties, while honey is known for its healing properties.

Rubbing Tattoo with Lemon

If your tattoo is light in color, rubbing a half-cut lemon on it can slightly fade the tattoo away with time. Lemons, known for their natural bleaching agents, have long been used on clothes, stains, and other forms of laundry. Its effectiveness might be doubtful but if people are using it, you can also. However, ensure that you don’t expose your tattoo to the sun as it might cause rash and redness on the skin due to the acidic nature of the lemon. 

Aloe Vera and Yogurt

Some people suggest that a mixture of aloe vera, Paederia Tomentosa, and Vitamin E cream can lighten tattoos. 

salabrasion

The salabrasion method involves scrubbing the tattoo with salt. The method is simple: take a bit of salt and rub it on your tattoo. Though it is painful, the results can sometimes be visible with the tattoo ink slightly fading away. In some rare cases, it can leave scarring and redness on the skin. 

Creams and Lotions

There are many tattoo removal creams on the market, but their effectiveness is controversial, and some may cause skin irritation or other side effects. Additionally, some creams include toxic substances like mercury, lead, illegal dyes, or colorants which can exacerbate skin. Therefore, creating your own creams at home may be a safer option as you can control all the ingredients.

Squeeze 1 tbsp juice from the fresh leaves of Paderia and mix it aloe vera pulp. After that, add 2 vitamin E capsules to the mixture and keep it aside. Your natural cream is ready. Apply it to the tattoo, then after 15 minutes, wash it off with lukewarm water.

Makeup

While it doesn’t remove the tattoo, some people cover up their tattoos with heavy-duty, waterproof makeup.

Takeaway

If you really want to get rid of tattoos, it is essential to talk with a healthcare provider to understand the potential risks and benefits. Moreover, tattoos are meant to be permanent, and the inks used are designed to stay on the skin.
