About Tattoo Removal
Sometimes You Just Want That Tattoo Gone
Not every tattoo sticks with you forever. Maybe you're over that old design, or just want your skin back, plain and simple. I've seen folks walk in with all kinds of stories - sometimes it's an ex's name, sometimes it's just bedave beda (don't want it at all) anymore. No judgement from my side.
How I Handle Removal
I use laser technology for tattoo removal - it's precise and safer than old-school methods. It's not instant magic though. Here's the real deal:
- You’ll need multiple laser tattoo removal sessions, spaced out. Patience is key.
- How many sessions? Depends. Tattoo age, size, ink colours, and your skin all matter.
- I’ll talk you through everything at your consultation, so you know what to expect.
Safety Comes First, Always
My studio never cuts corners. Hygiene and safety are top priority, just like with tattooing and piercing. I use clean equipment and make sure you feel comfortable the whole way.
Where I Work
Laser removal happens at my Hulimavu studio. If JP Nagar is easier, let me know and I’ll check if we can do it there.
If you're looking for real tattoo regret solutions or want to fade old tattoos for a cover-up, I can help you start fresh.
