- Tattoo Removal 215-278-7806
Laser tattoo removal is becoming easier and a lot more common these days. The days of a lifetime of “permanent” tattoo regret are for the most part, behind us.
The laser removal process itself is well, just that really… a process. Multiple sessions are needed to break down the ink particles underneath the surface of the skin and that takes a bit of time. Time between sessions that is… the actual laser session itself is actually pretty quick. For a small tattoo measuring say, 2”x2” the actual laser time could be under one minute!
Technology hasn’t quite gotten to the point where it’s a “one-and-done” session for the removal process, but the tattoo removal lasers themselves have improved tremendously over the last several years. Some tattoos, with the right laser, could quite possibly be removed in as little as 3-4 sessions! We’ve done it!
Other, more complicated tattoos, i.e. multiple colors, newer, large, densely inked pieces, and even the location of said tattoo on your body itself lends largely to the amount of sessions needed, and especially the final outcome.

Most tattoos that are located on the “trunk” of the body are generally the easiest to remove, and that’s mostly because the tattoo is located closer to the heart where blood circulation is strongest. It takes a bit longer on extremities such as hands, fingers, wrists, feet, ankles, etc.You see, each time you have a laser removal session, only a portion of that ink is broken up by the laser, that’s why multiple sessions are needed. I like to explain it like this: “Think of your tattoo’s ink like a big boulder. Every time the laser hits that boulder, more and more of it is blasted into small pebbles. Those pebbles are then transported out of your system via the circulatory and lymph systems.”
So, in short, laser tattoo removal has really become somewhat convenient, “relatively” quick, and quite effective! So think about it, and don’t despair…that rad “Tasmanian Devil” tattoo from 1985 doesn’t have to be a constant reminder of your bad high school namesake…. (No offense if you really have that…lol)
Until next time…..
