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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
Unfortunately Laser Removal is considered cosmetic. Therefore it cannot be paid through insurance.
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.
Skin will heal typically heal in 1-10 days, depending on where you are in treatment process(potential blistering, minor irritation, nothing crazy).
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.
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
