Process
How it works
- 01
Photo
Send a clear photo of the tattoo and tell us its size, colours and age.
- 02
Assessment
At the studio we check your skin type and ink depth, then give you the number of sessions and the price.
- 03
Sessions
Usually 6–8 weeks between sessions. Small tattoos fade noticeably after the first session.
- 04
Result
Full removal or a base for a new design — we agree on the goal from the start.
What affects the price?
- Size of the tattoo.
- Colours used — green, light blue and yellow need more sessions.
- Ink depth and density, and whether it was done by an amateur or a professional.
- The goal: full removal or lightening before a cover up.
For an exact price, send your idea or a photo of your existing tattoo on WhatsApp; we don't quote without seeing it.

FAQ
Related questions
Can a tattoo be removed completely?
Black ink comes out to a large extent. Colours like green, light blue and yellow are more stubborn. The tattoo's age, how deep and dense the ink is, whether it was done by an amateur or a professional, and your skin type all affect the result; amateur work usually fades more easily. For colourful, layered work, lightening it enough for a cover up can be a more realistic goal than full removal. We look at the photo and talk honestly at the first meeting — we don't make promises we can't keep.
How many sessions does tattoo removal take?
4–8 sessions on average; dark, large and layered work can take up to 10. If your aim is to lighten before a cover up rather than remove it completely, 2–4 sessions are usually enough. The first sessions show a visible fade; the change slows down as you go — that's expected.
How long between laser sessions?
Usually 6–8 weeks. Your body needs time to clear the broken-down pigment through the lymphatic system; shortening the gap doesn't improve the result, it only tires the skin. We don't do a new session until the skin has fully healed. Protect the area from the sun between sessions.
Does laser removal hurt? Will it scar?
It feels similar to getting a tattoo, but much shorter; most people describe it as a rubber band snapping. Afterwards there may be redness, tenderness and light scabbing for a few days. With the right settings and if the scabs are left alone, the risk of scarring is low. What really increases the risk is squeezing sessions together and going in the sun before healing is complete.
