for almost 6 years now I have had a meaningless tattoo rotting on my flesh, in truth I started hating it only days after I got it.
I wanted to save up for laser removal, but didn't want to make a fuss over it so I let it be
a few weeks ago I read about Salabrasion, self removal of tattoos at home, painful, barbaric and risky
the process involves a wet towel (or any piece of cloth) dipped in table salt being rubbed over the tattooed area until a wound becomes deep enough for a scab to form over it
I decided to give it a try; I scrubbed for nearly 30 minutes before deciding it's enough, the tattoo still looked the same, no ink seemed to have come off, but the wound was deep enough, I could tell because without the layers of skin to cover it, the tattoo seemed a lot less faded, much like when I first got it.
I rinsed the area in cold with some antibiotic soap, applied even more antibiotic ointment, dressed it, and left it alone
a stiff scab formed a few days later (would probably take longer without proper care) with a yellow-brown texture to it
earlier today the scab fell off and I am more than happy with the results, barely any trace of the tattoo is left, you'd have to really look to know ther was anything there.
on the other hand, I am probably going to be left with a scar for a few good months, but oh well, stupidity should always come at a price.
