Tattoo Aftercare

How do I care for my new tattoo?

Your artist will provide detailed aftercare instructions. Generally: keep it clean, moisturized, out of the sun, and avoid submerging it in water for 3-4 weeks. Don't pick at any peeling skin.

How long does a tattoo take to heal?

The surface heals in about 2-3 weeks, but the deeper layers take 4-6 weeks to fully recover. Follow your aftercare instructions throughout the entire healing period.

Do you offer touch-ups?

Yes. If any area of your tattoo needs a touch-up after healing, contact your artist and we'll take care of it.

Laser Removal

How does laser tattoo removal work?

Our MD Pico laser shatters ink particles into smaller fragments that your body naturally eliminates. This technology requires fewer sessions and produces quicker results than traditional lasers.

How many sessions will I need?

It depends on the size, ink colors, density, and age of the tattoo. Most tattoos require 6-10 sessions for complete removal, fewer if you're just fading for a cover-up. We'll give you an estimate at your free consultation.

Can I get a cover-up after laser removal?

Absolutely — that's one of our specialties. We're one of the only studios in Austin that offers both laser fading and custom cover-up tattooing under one roof. Our artists know exactly how much a tattoo needs to fade for a great cover-up.

What is the Fresh Start Program?

We've partnered with a 501(c)(3) nonprofit since 2014 to offer free laser removal for gang, prison, and forced tattoos. If you're helping yourself, we're here to assist.
