We all have that one tattoo — the spontaneous one, the breakup one, the matching one, or the “seemed like a good idea at 17” one. And at some point, your grown-up self looks at it and thinks… yeah, it’s time.
Tattoo removal isn’t about erasing the past. It’s about giving yourself the freedom to evolve.
Here’s what most people don’t know:
🫧 It’s not instant, but it’s effective.
Your body does the heavy lifting. The laser breaks the ink into tiny particles, and your lymphatic system clears it over weeks. That’s why spacing out sessions matters.
🫧 Black ink is the easiest to remove.
If your tattoo is darker or older, you’re in luck — it usually responds fastest to treatment.
🫧 Colour, size and placement all change the timeline.
Areas with better blood flow fade quicker. Ankles and wrists? They just take a little more patience.
🫧 It doesn’t have to be scary.
Most people say it feels like a quick flick of heat and it’s over before you know it. Cooling, numbing and proper aftercare make a huge difference.
🫧 Fading doesn’t mean damage.
A good clinic uses the right wavelength and settings to protect your skin barrier while targeting the ink, not the tissue.
And if you’re wondering whether you should finally remove it, heres your reminder:
You’re allowed to change. You’re allowed to outgrow old versions of yourself. You’re allowed to rewrite your story.. even if it starts with one tiny patch of ink.
