## Pricing guide (estimates)

These are indicative prices based on provider's past work. Enquire now to find out final quote.

### Picosecond Laser Fading Session

Single 15-30 minute session using Picosecond technology to lighten stubborn ink density specifically to prepare for a future cover-up.

Typically ₹2,500-5,000 per session (estimate)

#### Technology
* **Picosecond Laser:** High-speed pulses (measured in picoseconds) to shatter ink particles into dust for body elimination.
* **Safety Check:** Fitzpatrick skin typing assessment to ensure settings prevent hypopigmentation on Indian skin tones.

#### Procedure
* **Duration:** Quick procedure, typically 15 to 30 minutes depending on surface area.
* **Objective:** Targeted specifically at fading ink density (not full removal) to create a cleaner canvas for re-tattooing.
* **Care:** Includes protective eyewear during session, cooling mechanisms, and post-laser antibiotic dressing.

### Small Tattoo & Scar Cover-Up (Up to 4 inches)

Conceals wrist names, symbols, or scars (2x2 to 3x4 inches) using dense pigment packing in a 1.5 to 2.5 hour session.

Typically ₹4,500-8,500 per tattoo project (estimate)

#### Concept & Preparation
* **Feasibility Check:** Assessment of existing ink saturation or scar tissue texture (keloid vs. atrophic) to determine coverage strategy.
* **Digital Preview:** Overlaying proposed designs (often organic elements or mandalas) on skin photos before inking.

#### Execution
* **Needle Time:** 1.5 to 2.5 hours of tattooing focused on heavy pigment packing to obliterate previous lines.
* **Hygiene:** Use of single-use cartridge needles, premium heavy-pigment inks, and sterile barrier films.
* **Scar Blending:** Technique involves blending ink into surrounding skin tone and using scar texture as part of the 3D effect.

#### Aftercare
* **Protection:** Application of dermal protective film (like Saniderm) immediately post-session.
* **Warranty:** Includes one complimentary touch-up session within 3 months to address any old ink bleed-through.

### Medium Scale Cover-Up (Forearm, Shoulder, Calf)

Masks faded tribal work or large scars (approx. 6x4 to 8x5 inches) via anatomical flow designs and heavy shading over 4 to 6 hours.

Typically ₹12-22K per design piece (estimate)

#### Design Strategy
* **Anatomical Flow:** Custom artwork designed to wrap around muscle groups to break the visual rigidity of the old tattoo.
* **Stencil Alignment:** Precision placement ensuring the darkest parts of the new design align with the darkest parts of the old ink.
* **Styles:** High-coverage options including Neotraditional, Black & Grey Realism, or Japanese motifs.

#### The Session
* **Duration:** 4 to 6 hours of tattooing time (half-day session).
* **Technique:** Utilization of heavy shading, whip-shading, and deep color saturation to prevent ghosting.
* **Amenities:** Private booth or screened area with numbing cream application on request.

#### Healing & Maintenance
* **Scar Camouflage:** Texture manipulation for larger burn or accident scars to flatten visual appearance.
* **Refinement:** One free touch-up session after 4 to 6 weeks to fix any patchiness where old ink resisted the new design.

## About Tattoo Cover-up & Scar Concealment

### Why People Come to Us

A tattoo or scar can carry old memories you’re ready to move past. I see every cover-up or scar concealment as a chance to rewrite your story. Whether you’ve got tattoo regret or a mark you want changed, I work with you to turn it into something you actually want to show off.

### How I Tackle Cover-Ups & Scars

- Every cover up tattoo is custom - I don’t just go darker and bigger. I look at what’s there, come up with a design that fits your style, and make sure it actually hides the old ink.
- For scars, each one’s different. I use the shape and flow of the scar itself, sometimes working it into the design, so the final piece feels both intentional and personal.
- You’ll see a lot of detailed work from me - think Japanese waves, floral patterns, or bold symbols. But if you want something small and subtle, that’s cool too.
- For trickier jobs, I might suggest laser tattoo fading for cover up. It helps lighten tough old tattoos, so the new ink sits clean and lasts.

### What to Expect

- We start with a chat - I want to see your skin in person, know what you’re hoping for, and talk ideas.
- I’ll sketch a design that makes sense for your body and the old mark, so it looks like it was always meant to be there.
- Once you’re happy, I get to tattooing. My goal? You walk away feeling like this is finally you.

If you’re after tattoo regret transformation or scar camouflage tattoo, I’m here to help you move on from the past and wear something you’re proud of.
