Get Rid of That Old Ink

Want a tattoo gone? Need to fade one for a cover-up? We can help. Our laser breaks down the ink so your body can flush it out naturally. Takes a few sessions, but it works.

How It Works

1

Consultation

We assess your tattoo, discuss your goals (complete removal or fading for cover-up), and create a treatment plan. We'll estimate the number of sessions needed based on ink colors, depth, age, and size.

2

Laser Treatment

High-intensity laser pulses break down the ink particles into smaller fragments. The treatment feels like small rubber band snaps. Sessions typically last 10-30 minutes depending on tattoo size.

3

Healing Period

Your body's immune system naturally removes the fragmented ink over the following weeks. We recommend 6-8 weeks between sessions to allow complete healing.

4

Repeat Sessions

Most tattoos require 6-12 sessions for complete removal. Fading for cover-ups typically requires fewer sessions. Results vary based on tattoo characteristics.

Factors That Affect Removal

Ink Colors

Black and dark blue inks respond best to laser treatment. Lighter colors like yellow, green, and white may require more sessions or specialized lasers.

Tattoo Age

Older tattoos are often easier to remove as the ink has already begun to break down naturally over time.

Tattoo Size & Location

Larger tattoos require more time per session. Tattoos on areas with better circulation (torso, upper arms) typically heal faster.

Ink Depth & Quality

Professional tattoos with deeper ink may require more sessions than amateur tattoos. Ink quality also affects how the ink responds to laser treatment.

Skin Tone

Lighter skin tones typically respond better to laser treatment. We adjust our approach based on your skin type for the safest, most effective results.

Your Health

A healthy immune system helps your body eliminate ink particles more efficiently. Smoking and certain medical conditions can slow the removal process.

Pricing

Tattoo removal pricing is determined during your consultation based on the size, colors, and complexity of your tattoo. We'll provide a treatment plan with estimated costs and number of sessions.

Removal Options

Complete Removal

Get rid of the whole thing. Takes multiple sessions, but most tattoos can be fully removed or faded to almost nothing.

Fade for Cover-Up

Just need it lighter so you can cover it up? Usually takes fewer sessions than full removal. Makes it way easier for your artist to do the cover-up.

Selective Removal

Just want part of it gone? Ex's name? A mistake? We can remove specific areas while leaving the rest.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is laser removal painful?

Most people describe it as similar to getting a tattoo or like rubber bands snapping against the skin. We use cooling techniques to minimize discomfort.

Will there be scarring?

When performed correctly and with proper aftercare, laser removal rarely causes scarring. Pre-existing scarring from the original tattoo may become visible.

How many sessions will I need?

Most tattoos require 6-12 sessions for complete removal. Fading for cover-ups usually takes 2-4 sessions. We'll estimate during your consultation.

Can all tattoos be removed?

Most tattoos can be significantly faded or removed. Some colors and inks are more challenging, but advances in laser technology have improved results for all tattoo types.
