So, the best thing you can do is talk to a professional and get your tattoo lightened properly, risk-free. Here are some reasons why laser tattoo removal is the best way to properly fade a tattoo;.
You may not be aware of the following causes of tattoo fading, but they do cause premature tattoo fading. The aforementioned methods are not studied nor are they recommended by professionals.
The only proven method is the laser removal one, which is done by experts with experience and thorough knowledge of the skin and the tattoos. Other methods, however, are pretty anecdotal, and so is their efficiency. Not to mention that they can easily harm your skin and even cause bleeding. Excessive scrubbing and exfoliation can remove the outer skin layer, making it more sensitive and prone to irritation and infection.
Plus, the skin damage might make the new tattooing process much more difficult and painful. So, when it comes to tattoo fading, what we recommend is pretty clear; go see a professional and let them treat your tattoo properly and risk-free.
However, in their raw form, they could be potentially harmful to your skin, especially if applied repetitively. However, if you still want to go with a DIY approach, we recommend you see a dermatologist and let them at least evaluate your skin and its health.

However, when you think about fading maybe you think of lasers, burns, and scarring, but there are other natural, painless ways that might fade your ink. And the great thing is most of the things you need are already close at hand. It is common knowledge sun fades tattoos. As an aftercare procedure, you should always wear sunscreen on your ink. However, if you want to fade that work naturally over time while you are saving up for a removal treatment, then skip on the sunscreen but don't stay out too long unprotected ; you don't want to get scorched.
With this method, you will notice that over time typically months , the colors of the work will naturally fade. This is because the UV in the sun's rays naturally breaks down some types of inks.
However, while you might see a difference in blacks , yellows and purples can be some of the hardest tattoo colors to fade and might need professional lightening techniques. Another common painless natural method to lighten a tattoo is the use of lemon juice. Lemons are a common known lightening agent for the skin. They can also work to lighten the colors in a tattoo. With this method, you simply add pure or fresh squeezed lemon juice to your skin, up to three times a day.

You know exfoliation removes dead and excess skin. Then, I realized it had indeed burned my skin. I went to a laser tattoo removal consultant three weeks after getting the tree tattoo. We did a few tests to see how well I would deal with the pain, and it was okay! Some of the barbed wire tattoo is already in the process of going bye-bye.
As for the tree, I'd never be able to pay for that to be removed. I am planning on adding light, interesting colors to brighten it so that it doesn't look so black and fierce.
I will continue the creams on the tree, but as for the barbed wire, it's going to be lasered. After one small laser treatment session, I think this portion of the barbed wire is practically gone. If it's that easy to get rid of it, I'm ecstatic! How does it feel? Like nothing really. It's a small area, and I can't say I have even noticed any pain. I'm still trying to lighten the tree up as much as I can at this point.
I did a round of salicylic acid which lightly scabbed up the portion of the tree that I worked on. I'm thinking about getting a portion of the tree removed by laser as well. She did a larger area of the barbed wire. You have to try to remember to breathe during this, but I couldn't.
My whole body was stiff, and I didn't breathe the whole time. It was almost like going to the dentist, but when it's done, it's fine. The pain won't stop me from continuing my quest! I have one more section of barbed wire to do, and then I start on the tree!
This is the first section of barbed wire I had done. It's only a few weeks after that session and look how light it is! There are still six more weeks of healing and lightening to go. I am pretty amazed at how much lighter the barbed wire is after only a few weeks of one laser session.
I definitely won't need many treatments here. I have also decided to laser off the entire branch right next to the barbed wire. Without the barbed wire there, it'll be a little easier for me to take off a bunch of branches and flowers.
I continue to lighten the entire tree at home, but I have to stop on the areas I'm going to get the laser on. I still work on the parts I can work on when I can. If I can at least lighten it as much as possible before the laser, I'll hopefully need less treatments on the tree.
This part of my barbed wire has lightened considerably and still has a long time to go to lighten up even more. I am very happy with the results after just two laser sessions.
I still need to do the bottom of my arm and for that I bought some Emla, which is a numbing cream because I know that it's going to be painful!
The pain I felt this time was nothing compared to my old barbed wire removal session! I was very pleased to say the least. I really had no idea how well it would lighten because it was a brand new tattoo, but I really wanted this part removed along with all the little flowers.
I'm going for a less busy look, but I might even be moving towards removing the entire tree now. I'm still not happy with it at all. The only part I like is a tiny little butterfly that I don't feel the urge to remove. I'm glad I'm getting this far! It's usually every two weeks that I get a section done. The healing process is nothing to complain about, and this whole process is easy and quick with fast results. It's been slow going, but I am really happy with what I have gotten done so far.
Below is an updated picture of the part of the tree that I had lasered. I am so surprised that it is as light as it is now since it is a brand new tattoo. Things You'll Need. Related Articles. Article Summary. Method 1. Use common household items to lighten your tattooed skin naturally.
