Laser Tattoo Removal

WE’RE HAPPY TO HAVE ADDED LASER TATTOO REMOVAL TO OUR SERVICES AT NEW LONDON INK. WE ARE USING THE QUANTA Q SWITCH STUDIO LASER, ONE OF THE BEST LASERS AVAILABLE, A LASER PULSE IS AIMED AT THE TATTOO AND PASSES HARMLESSLY THROUGH THE SKIN. THE LASER TARGETS THE TATTOO PIGMENT, LEAVING THE SURROUNDING SKIN VIRTUALLY UNTOUCHED. THE ENERGY FROM THE BEAM IS TRANSFERRED TO THE INK WHICH BREAKS INTO SMALL PARTICLES FADING THE TATTOO, AND IS REMOVED FROM THE BODY BY THE IMMUNE SYSTEM.

LASER

At New London Ink, we use a Quanta Studio Laser. Best for black and red pigments, as well as others. Greens, yellows and blues can be a little more tricky.

How many treatments will it take?

Unfortunately, it is impossible to give an exact estimate as to number of treatments. There are too many factors such as the age of tattoo, age of the person, quality of the tattoo as well of the application, location, heatlh, ink color, etc. A good range is anywhere from 5-15, give or take.

Colors We Can't Do?

Our laser works best with black a red pigments. Blue, yellow and green aren’t typically good candidates for removal with the Quanta Studio, depending on shades etc..
There are a lot of variables, contact us for a consultation or send an inquiry. If we are unable to do it in house, we can at least send you in the right direction.

Cost

Varies. See chart. Typically starts at $100. Price will increases by size, roughly $200 for a 6”x6” area. We will do our best to find a price or package that will work for your budget.

Is it covered by insurance?

Unfortunately Laser Removal is considered cosmetic. Therefore it cannot be paid through insurance.

Pain

It is uncomfortable, but treatments are quick. Depending on size, it could potentially take just a couple of seconds, up to a few minutes or more. We want to make the process as painless as possible by using a state-of-the-art Zimmer Cooling machine to cool the skin to 20 degrees Celsius before and during the process, minimizing the discomfort.

Healing

Skin will heal typically heal in 1-10 days, depending on where you are in treatment process(potential blistering, minor irritation, nothing crazy).

Chance it won't work, Impossible to guarantee!

We will do the best we can, but there is always a chance we won’t be able to succeed. There are no guarantees. We will do special pricing for difficult tattoos. Remember, it is the safest and most effective way possible to remove a tattoo.

Also, Consider Lightening For A Cover Up

It is a great option if you want to improve or replace your existing tattoo. With only a few treatments (depending), your tattoo could be light enough to cover without having to get something dark to block it out. It really opens your options for getting that perfect tattoo, without having to be reminded of what’s underneath

Potential Risks

Include but are not limited to: pain, purpura (discoloration),swelling, redness, bruising,blistering, crusting/scab formation,ingrown hairs, infection, and unforeseen complications which can last up to many months, years or permanently. There is a risk of scarring. Scarring happens but is uncommon. Scarring can be permanent. Short-term effects may include reddening, mild burning, temporary bruising or blistering. A brownish/red darkening of the skin (hyper pigmentation) or lightening of the skin (hypo-pigmentation) may occur at times up to 3- 6 months, years or permanently following treatment. Loss of freckles or pigmented lesions can occur.Textual changes in the skin can occur and can be permanent. Infection: Although infection following treatment is unusual, bacterial, fungal and viral infections can occur. Bleeding: Pinpoint bleeding is rare but can occur following treatment procedures. Should bleeding occur, additional treatment may be necessary. Allergic Reactions: Upon dissemination, the pigments can induce a severe allergic reaction that can occur with each successive treatment. Noted in some patients are superficial erosions, bruising, blistering, milia, redness and swelling which can last up to many months, years or permanently.

My roommate and I called on a whim for an appointment and they were able to graciously squeeze us in the next day! Allanah is an amazing and talented artist. It was a great atmosphere and we definitely had a great time getting our tattoos. Can't wait to get more tattoos there!!

I called on a weekend expecting for them to be booked for the whole summer and luckily got squeezed in due to cancellation. Not only is the parlor absolutely beautiful inside, but everyone is incredibly kind and welcoming!! Ed (Eddy) ended up doing my tattoo- I wanted one with thin lines & small detail on my bicep, about the size of a credit card- & he did an *incredible* job. His work is very versatile, and seems to range from bright and bold to minimal and detailed. 100% would go back to him for future tatts! From setting up equipment, to the execution and completion of the tattoo, everything went seamlessly, and the final product was exactly what I envisioned!! (pricing was very reasonable as well) Absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking for a high quality experience *and* high quality tattoo 🙂
