Assessment and consultation required
Every procedure begins with a required consultation where we measure the tattoo and review pigment type, depth, age and any scar tissue from prior technique. Tattoos within a 5x5" treatment area are targeted, and the consultation determines an individualized estimate of how many sessions may be needed rather than promising a specific outcome.
Because tattoos come in square, round, narrow, oblong or irregular shapes, we map the treatment area precisely and explain pricing based on that measurement. This meeting also addresses concerns about comfort, previous removal attempts, and any skin sensitivities so we can plan each 45-minute session appropriately.
What happens during a session
A standard appointment for a 5x5" area runs 45 minutes. Numbing cream is provided at consultation and should be self-applied 10–15 minutes before arrival. During the visit the clinician focuses treatment strictly within the measured area and monitors comfort and skin response throughout the procedure.
Many clients emphasize how staff make the process feel comfortable and informative, especially those who were nervous about skin tone or who had poor experiences elsewhere. Our team takes time to explain each step, adjust for tolerance, and answer questions so you feel prepared for follow-up sessions.
Planning and local convenience
Pricing for this specific 5x5" treatment is $350 per session; tattoos larger than 5x5" will be measured and charged according to the appropriate size. For package savings, visit the SHOP tab and select PACKAGES to purchase a series of 9 treatments prior to booking—packages are available for individual clients pursuing full removal.
