  1. The origins of using salt to remove tattoos While tattoos are almost as old as humankind, they have really taken off as a trend in the past 5 years. As the popularity of tattoos has risen, so has tattoo removal. Naturally, many people who get tattoos are going to feel some form of regret either immediately after or sometime after getting inked. And for every affliction there are countless natural home remedies out there. While some have been scientifically proven to work, many are dubious and unfounded. And this is particularly the case for home remedies for removing tattoos. How it’s supposed to work The premise that a tattoo can be removed with salt is based on the technique of dermabrasion. Typically used to treat acne and improve the appearance of scars and aged skin, dermabrasion involves an abrasive, rotating device sanding and ‘resurfacing’ the top layers of the skin, allowing young, supple skin to grow back in its place. The procedure is like an intense exfoliation. Using salt to remove tattoo pigment is alleged to work the same way. Proponents of this method advise placing a substantial amount of salt onto the tattooed area of the skin and rubbing it in with a cloth for a while until the area becomes red and bleeds. Why you shouldn’t do it No one can blame you for wanting to get rid of a now-undesired tattoo cost efficiently and in the comfort of your own home. However, trying to remove tattoo ink with salt is dangerous and ineffective. Skin consists of primarily two layers: the epidermis, the outer later, and the dermis, the inner layer. When you get a tattoo, the needle penetrates the epidermis all the way through to the dermis, and that’s where the ink remains. To get salt to the dermis you would need to rub away the epidermis, which would be excruciating. Even just rubbing salt into the epidermis can cause a bad rash and could lead to pigmentation, scarring and wrinkling. If you have a tattoo that you would like removed, it’s recommended that you seek out a medically- approved tattoo removal procedure administered by a clinician.
