Can Tattoos be Completely Removed?
You have a tattoo that you’re no longer impressed with (or never have been). This has you wondering; can tattoos be completely removed? These before and after photos of satisfied clients certainly indicate so, but there’s more to it. Below is a practical and accurate answer to your important question.
What Determines Whether or Not a Tattoo Can be Completely Removed
Depends on Size and Depth
The answer is generally “yes, tattoos can be completely removed” by state of the art laser technology (more on this below). That being said, a large deep dark blackwork tattoo with little-to-know shading (indicating ink’s penetration deeper into the skin) can be problematic. The tattoo will require multiple sessions, and likely over many months for the ink to be completely dispelled from view.
Depends on the Individual’s Skin
If you have a dark tattoo (blackwork or other dark colors) and you have very fair skin, it may require a greater number of sessions for the piece to not be visible at all. Everyone’s skin is different, however, and so even the fairest of them all may enjoy complete removal in just one or two sessions.
Depends on Where You Live (or can visit)
Does topography and climate have something notable to do with whether or not tattoos can be completely removed? Nope, the heading was to get your attention and then draw it to how location makes a difference in a different way.
A tattoo can be completely removed by using PicoSure laser technology - the best tattoo removal system in the world. If the city or town that you live within does not have a studio (or is near a city/town studio with a studio) that offers clients access to PicoSure laser you will not be able to have your tattoo safely and completely removed. This is unfortunate news for someone who lives hundreds of miles away from a specialized clinic with laser tattoo removal technicians on staff. But for people who live in the BC Lower Mainland (or can easily visit the region) this is great to hear because they have direct access to NIXX laser tattoo removal. Our Vancouver clinc has led the city in the application of PicoSure laser for years. We’re is located in Kitsilano on West 4th Avenue within the Adrenaline tattoo shop, the latter of which makes NIXX more qualified that cosmetic laser clinics.

Depends on Your Budget
Lastly, is budget. A medium to large dark tattoo generally requires multiple sessions. Each session comes with an investment. If you are income-restricted and don’t foresee having the funds in the future, getting a complicated tattoo removed can be challenging. View more on tattoo removal rates in Vancouver BC.
