If you regret it now and want to get rid of the tattoo, you'd better consult a dermatologist or plastic surgeon. They will help you choose the most suitable way to get rid of tattoos.

Methods 1: Consult a dermatologist or plastic surgeon.

1, find a dermatologist or plastic surgeon who specializes in tattoo removal. Most dermatologists and plastic surgeons can help you get rid of tattoos. You can find experts in this field. Search online or call to ask if there is a dermatologist or plastic surgeon specializing in this field in your area. When you call, ask employees or doctors how many tattoos they have removed so far and whether they have their own laser equipment. Doctors with their own instruments are usually more experienced.

You can also ask your family and friends, or search for doctors who provide this service online to see the previous customer comments and feedback.

Although some tattoo shops also provide laser tattoo removal services, it is safest to find a licensed doctor. If you can't find a dermatologist or plastic surgeon locally, go to a tattoo shop that provides this service.

2. Make an appointment with a doctor to discuss the feasible plan. Dermatologists or plastic surgeons need to look at your tattoo before they can recommend the most suitable removal method. Make an appointment with a doctor to show him the tattoo you want to get rid of. Ask the doctor about the number of treatments and the cost required to completely remove the tattoo.

Prepare the questions you want to ask. For example, you can ask a dermatologist to show the comparison before and after tattoo removal to see the therapeutic effect.

3. Discuss with your doctor the most suitable treatment to remove your tattoo. The therapeutic effect depends on the doctor's ability, your skin type, the size and color of the tattoo. A dermatologist or plastic surgeon can help you understand these options. For example, some laser treatments are more effective in removing tattoos of certain colors. In addition, dark blue and black tattoos are difficult to remove.

Removal can remove small tattoos, but it is not suitable for large tattoos.

Patterns that are tattooed by unprofessional means may be difficult to remove, because it is easy to form scars or bumps.

Method 2: Choose a treatment plan.

1, laser surgery is preferred. In most cases, this is the best way to remove tattoos. Before the operation, the doctor will perform local anesthesia to numb the skin. Then the tattoo ink pigments under the skin surface are directly heated by the laser, and they are broken down into smaller particles, which are then naturally removed by the body. Laser tattoo removal generally requires more than 1 time. In fact, most people need to do 6- 10 times, and each time they finish, they will give a period of time for the wound to heal. A dermatologist or plastic surgeon will tell you about how many times to do it.

Although laser treatment is safe, it is still possible to leave scars. After treatment, the skin may swell, blister or bleed. You can apply antibacterial ointment to the affected area.

This kind of treatment is considered as elective surgery, so it is usually not covered by insurance.

2, do surgery to remove small tattoos. The doctor will numb the skin with local anesthesia, and then remove the tattoo cleanly with a scalpel. Finally, suture the skin. There will be scars at the seams.

Although this method can also be used for large-scale tattoos, skin grafting may be needed afterwards. The doctor will take a piece of skin from other parts of the body and cover the tattooed area.

Skin transplantation has risks, including infection and rejection. Skin appearance may look significantly different.

In the past, doctors sometimes used liquid nitrogen to perform cryosurgery to remove tattoos. However, this method is rarely used now.

3. Micro-crystal grinding can be considered, which is cheaper, but the effect is not very good. Grinding skin is actually grinding off the surface skin. Doctors will numb the skin by freezing and then grind it off with a rotating tool with a grinding head. The tattoo paint will come off later. This method is usually not as effective as laser or ablation.

The skin will tingle, probably bleeding, and it will take 2-3 weeks to completely heal.

Usually it only needs 1 time, but it still costs thousands of dollars.

Method 3: Remove tattoos at home.

1. Apply a mixture of salt and lemon juice. Mix100g salt and a little lemon juice into a thick paste. Immerse the cotton piece in the mixture and apply it to the tattoo for 30 minutes or more. Then rinse with warm water. This method may form a temporary scar.

2. Use a mixture of aloe, salt, honey and yogurt. Pour 30 ml of aloe gel, 34 g of salt, 30 ml of honey and 30 ml of yogurt into a bowl and stir well. Apply it to the tattoo and let it stand for at least 30 minutes.

3. Rub the tattoo with salt for 30-40 minutes. This process is called salt grinding, which basically means rubbing the skin with salt. Wet the gauze sponge and rub the tattoo with salt until it turns dark red. This process is painless, and salt will play an anesthetic role.

After rubbing the skin with salt, apply antibacterial ointment and cover the affected area for 3 days.

The skin will look like leather. After a week, the surface skin will fall off and the tattoo will fade. However, this process may lead to scar formation and infection.

Once the skin is completely healed, you can try this method again after 6-8 weeks.

4, homemade tattoo cream. Mix the gel made of 15ml aloe gel, 2 capsules of vitamin e and 15ml paederia. Apply the mixture to the skin, let it stand for 10 minute, and then rinse it with warm water. Do it 4 times a day for more than 1 week.

5. Don't use tattoo cream on the market. Defrosting these tattoos has not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration and may or may not be effective. In addition, they contain acidic substances, which may cause adverse skin reactions or rashes.

6. Use DIY chemical skin rejuvenation products with caution. Some websites sell chemical skin rejuvenation products made of trichloroacetic acid. Although chemical rejuvenation may have some effects, DIY suits may be dangerous. You don't know the ingredients of the product, especially the products bought online. They may cause deep chemical burns and require skin grafting.

If you want to try chemical rejuvenation, it is recommended to find a dermatologist.

7. If all else fails, consider covering the tattoo with cosmetics. Apply foundation or concealer suitable for your skin color. If you have fair skin, you'd better choose a product with a little pink or pink. If the skin color is dark, it is best to choose products with orange or yellow tones. Then apply translucent makeup powder. Then apply a layer of foundation and a layer of makeup powder to complete the covering effect. Blend the edge foundation into the skin. If you want to set makeup, make sure your face is dry before makeup, don't apply moisturizing cream, and spray a layer of permanent hair styling spray or makeup styling spray after makeup. Try not to touch tattoos when putting on makeup.

When you need to cover the tattoo, this method can work temporarily.

Warning If you want to get rid of tattoos, you'd better consult a trained professional doctor.
