How to get rid of a tattoo

Are you looking for ways to permanently get rid of a tattoo? 

Well, a tattoo is a permanent mark. The ink that is used to mark your skin with different patterns and images is injected into the layers of skin making it hard to remove. 

The best way to remove tattoos is through the following methods.

Try Exfoliation 

Deep exfoliation may reduce tattoos. A special method called debridement uses a rough object that will brush the outer layers of the skin off. 

This treatment is done periodically until you have achieved your goal of erasing your tattoo. 

This technique may reduce your tattoo but is very painful and could leave the skin red and swollen. 

But after your skin heals, your unwanted tattoo will be gone permanently!

Try Laser Treatment

Laser treatment is one of the most effective ways on how to get rid of a tattoo. 

Laser light in low pulses is fired over the skin where the tattoo is. It burns the outer layers of the skin leaving healthy, unblemished and clear skin afterwards. 

Laser treatment is done over a period of time and makes the technique somewhat costly. 

However, if you are looking for an effective tattoo removal treatment, laser tattoo removal is the technique for you.

Try Tattoo Removal Cream

You may also try removing tattoos using tattoo removal creams that can be bought over the counter. 

These creams contain chemical ingredients that can erase tattoos and remove unwanted marks over time. 

You need to use the cream at least three or more times a day. It could get sticky and messy. But a lot of folks with unwanted tattoos are satisfied with the results of tattoo removal creams.

Try Lemon Juice

You may use household items such as lemon juice, vinegar or baking soda. 

1. Squeeze lemon juice in a small cup
2. Wet a cotton ball
3. Wipe lemon juice over your tattoo. 
4. Apply using firm circular strokes 
5. Let the juice remain on skin. 
6. You need to reapply lemon juice or vinegar on the tattoo at least three or more times a day to get the most effect.

Try Concealers

You can also use concealers to hide tattoos. Use makeup that is as close to your skin color so that your mark will completely disappear. Or try over-the-counter tattoo concealers.
