Removing Tan without affecting tattoos

[transcendingexcellence]

Hi All - requesting inputs/direction. Got tanned like crazy to an extent where my skin complexion has turned into shades of brown. How can I remove tan (using natural ingredients) and lighten my skin tone to my original complexion without affecting tattoo? Hope I am making sense and not spitballing. Thank you.

huh?

i mean - stay outta the sun

use sunblock

why does it matter that your tan again?

Guess I wasn't clear enough. Of course I will be staying off the sun or use sunblock in future. Thanks for that.  To break it down, I was made aware that lemon/potato juice removes tan but at the expense of lightening the tattoo as well. Was wanting to check if there are any other ways to remove tan without affecting tattoo.

I'm sure that none of those things work. You'll just have to keep covered and in the shade for a few months. Give it until next march or so and you'll be good.
