It is believed that if you made an unsuccessful tattoo, hike in the bath, and sweating, and save the tattoo disappears. The logic is simple: if the master forbids bath immediately after the procedure, then, acting on the contrary, you can get rid of the drawing.

4. Iodine

It is believed that if the five percent iodine lubricated tattooThen they gradually discolored.

Iodine can give some clarification of the pigment, but complete removal does not work, because the pigment occurs in the dermis, and the iodine we put on the skin surface, where it evaporates easily. I suppose that soon there will be willing to introduce iodine into the skin, but in this case the chemical burn and scar you provided.
