Remorse over your large tattoo?
Getting a small tattoo removed is logically less complicated to remove than a large one. However, you’re most certainly not out of luck if your tattoo is in the second category. Below we breakdown everything that you need to know about having a large tattoo removed.
4 Things to Know When You Want to Have a Large Tattoo Removed
When to Get Started
Assuming that you’re in good health, you can begin the process right away UNLESS you have recently received the tattoo. Those who have recently received a tattoo and are unhappy, or outright furious with the work may think that they should act quickly to get the ink removed before it “settles” into the skin. This is not the case. For health reasons, you must wait until the tattoo has fully healed. Since it’s a large design, this could take up to six months, perhaps more.

Best Procedure for Tattoo Removal
Don’t even think about getting a tattoo removed via surgical excision. This is a painful and invasive method that is ripe with potential health complications. Laser tattoo removal is the only way to go. That said, not all laser procedures are the same. Steer clear of studios and clinics that use Q-switched lasers. It’s an antiquated technology that is less effective and also exhibits increased potential for complications. Call up a given laser tattoo removal studio to ask if they use Q-switched lasers. If they confirm it, hang up the phone.
Instead of barbaric surgical excisions and outdated Q-switched lasers, choose a clinic that uses Lutronic PicoPlus laser. This state-of-the-art superior method uses photomechanical technology to shatter the ink particles of a large tattoo. As a result, clients will experience less discomfort, which is very important when working on a greater surface area of the body. In addition, this form of laser removal affords clients a shorter recovery time, and fewer overall treatments (more on this below). Learn more about the benefits of Lutronic PicoPlus.
How Long It Will Take
This is not something that will be completed in a few weeks. Typical small to medium sized tattoo removals can require anywhere from two to eight sessions with Lutronic PicoPlus laser treatment (the fastest laser option). For a larger tattoo you could be looking at up to 12 sessions, but of course every person is different. Now we know what you’re thinking 12 or even just eight sessions sounds grueling. But did you know that Lutronic PicoPlus laser treatments for large tattoos can be completed in only 20 or 30 minutes?
That’s a relief for those who abhor the thought of sitting for another procedure that long. But this does not mean that you will be free of your large tattoo by the end of the month. In reality, you could be looking at a year for a large and especially complicated (deep tones, etc.) piece. Why? Because even with Lutronic PicoPlus (the fastest laser option) you’ll have to wait four to eight weeks between treatments for best results. There is a lot of room in this time-estimate, which is why we encourage you to schedule a consultation right away. It’s best to get started now if you are adamant about getting it done as soon as possible.

Free Consultation: It all starts with a free consultation where we get to know you and your tattoo. We discuss your wishes and expectations, evaluate your skin type and the colors in the tattoo, and answer all your questions. Together, we create an individual treatment plan for you and provide you with all the information you need to make an informed decision. First Treatment: During your first treatment, our experienced laser therapists use the PicoPlus laser to break down the pigments in your tattoo. The treatment is quick, gentle, and relatively painless. Some people experience a stinging sensation, but we can use numbing cream if you are sensitive. Afterwards, we review aftercare instructions and schedule your next treatment, usually about 6 weeks later. Follow-Up Treatments: At each follow-up treatment, we assess how your tattoo responds to the treatment. Depending on size, color, and skin type, the number of treatments may vary. We continue the treatment until your tattoo is completely gone. If you have chosen our price guarantee, unlimited treatments are included until the tattoo is gone. Finished! When your tattoo is completely gone, we follow up with a review of the results and give you tips on how to continue taking care of your skin in the best way.
