Who we are
Removal or lightening before a cover-up?
Your consultation can start with complete removal or with lightening the existing tattoo to give new artwork more room. We will talk through the goal, explain the variables that affect the plan, and help you decide which direction makes sense without promising a specific result. Explore cover-up tattoos.
Unlike large removal chains, our results speak for themselves. Every before-and-after on this page was achieved right here at Pigment Tattoo, on real clients — no stock images, no altered photos, no fine print.

For general medical information about laser tattoo removal, review the FDA’s tattoo-removal guidance and the American Academy of Dermatology’s overview. If your goal is new artwork, compare our cover-up tattoo process with our guide to fading before a cover-up. You can also review our laser removal pricing tiers before booking.
How does laser tattoo removal work?
The laser delivers short pulses of energy that target tattoo pigment. The treated pigment breaks into smaller particles that the body clears over time. Results and treatment plans vary by tattoo and skin response.
How many laser tattoo removal sessions will I need?
There is no universal session count. Ink color, density, depth, tattoo age, placement, skin response, and whether you want full removal or fading for a cover-up all affect the plan. We provide an individualized estimate after seeing the tattoo in person.
Can you fade a tattoo instead of removing it completely?
Yes. Some clients only need enough fading to give a cover-up artist more options. Because Pigment offers tattooing and laser removal in the same studio, the technician and artist can plan toward the same finished piece.
What side effects can happen after laser tattoo removal?
Temporary redness, swelling, tenderness, and blistering can occur. Other risks include skin-color changes, infection, and scarring. Your technician will explain aftercare and when to contact a qualified medical professional.
How long should I wait between sessions?
Timing depends on how the treated skin heals and how your body responds. We do not schedule the next treatment until the area has recovered and the technician has cleared it.
How is laser tattoo removal priced?
Pricing is based on tattoo size, from $150–$175 per treatment for Size 1 through $500–$600 per treatment for Size 6. Tattoos larger than Size 6 are priced during a free consultation. Buy three treatments and save 15%, or buy five treatments and save 20%. Active military clients receive 20% off.
