What Session One Looks Like
Tattoo Removal · Sandy Springs, GA
I remove black and grey tattoos and old permanent makeup, and nothing else, on purpose. Free consult, sessions from $150. About 15 to 20 minutes from Sandy Springs.
The removal consult is free. Text a photo of your tattoo to (404) 955-0322.

People are nervous about the first session, so here's the honest version. We cover your eyes, I test the settings, and then it's a fast series of hot snaps. A small tattoo is done in under a minute.
Right after, the ink turns white. That's called frosting, and it means the pigment took the energy. It fades in about 15 minutes. Then you're red and a bit swollen for a few days, maybe some light scabbing.
The fading happens later, over the next several weeks, as your body clears the broken-up ink. That's why sessions are 8 to 12 weeks apart.
Getting here: Take I-285 west to I-75 north and get off at Delk Road (exit 261). From City Springs that's usually 15 to 20 minutes outside rush hour, and you park right at the building.

Good to Know
Most people say it's sharper but much faster. Numbing cream helps, and I can pause any time.
Black and grey body tattoos usually take 6 to 10 sessions. Old brow tattooing usually takes 4 to 8.
My laser is built for black and grey. Red, green, yellow and purple need different wavelengths. I'd rather refer you than charge you for sessions that won't work.
Book the free consult. We look at the tattoo, talk about your goal and do the $50 test spot.
