So can tattoos be removed? The short answer is yes—tattoos can be removed with laser treatments. However, results vary from person to person. Every tattoo is unique, and so is the removal process.
That’s why patience is key when it comes to tattoo removal. At Goodbye Tattoos, we always say that tattoo removal is a journey—and consistency is what delivers the best results.
Factors That Affect Tattoo Removal
When looking at how many treatments you need for tattoo removal, we have to consider 8 different variables:
1. Tattoo colour
Certain ink colours fade more easily than others.
- Most challenging: Blues and greens (these often require more sessions)
- Easiest to remove: Black and dark inks
- Moderately difficult: Reds and warm tones
2. Skin Tone
Your skin type falls into one of six categories. Lighter skin generally experiences quicker tattoo fading.
Tip: Sun exposure affects results! Keep the tattooed area out of the sun and avoid fake tanning before treatments.
Tattoo Layering
If you have a cover-up tattoo (one inked over an older tattoo), it may require more treatments to break down the additional layers of ink.
4. Tattoo location
Tattoos located closer to the heart tend to fade faster due to better circulation.
- Takes longer: Hands, feet, lower legs
- Fades faster: Chest, upper arms, torso
5. Overall Health
Your lymphatic system helps flush out shattered ink particles after each laser session. A healthy lifestyle can speed up the process.
Pro Tip: Stay hydrated, eat well, and exercise regularly to boost your body’s natural ink-clearing ability.
6. Ink Density
Tattoos with heavy ink saturation (like solid black designs or bold shading) require more sessions than lightly inked tattoos.
7. Age of the tattoo
Older tattoos fade more easily than newer ones. Over time, your body naturally breaks down the ink, making it more responsive to laser treatments.
8. Professional or Amateur
- Professional tattoos are harder to remove because the ink sits deeper in the skin.
- Amateur tattoos (like stick-and-poke) are usually easier to remove since the ink isn’t as deep.
