The best technology for effective laser tattoo removal in Nashville & Memphis

Home / Laser / Tattoo Removal

Fade it. Fix it. Forget it.

Say goodbye to unwanted ink with our state-of-the-art laser treatment. Using a hand piece with dual wavelengths, our aesthetician can target ink particles on your skin to be broken up and safely cleared by your body over time. Our laser is designed to treat a wide range of colors and skin types with precision and minimal downtime.

Our skilled MedSpa teams in Nashville and Memphis tailor your plan to the tattoo’s age, ink composition & placement, as well as your skin tone and personal goals.

What can I expect?

Consultation & test spot: We examine the tattoo’s colors, depth, and skin type. If appropriate, we’ll perform a small test spot to confirm ideal settings and your skin’s response.
Treatment sessions: Sessions typically take 15–45 minutes depending on size and complexity. You’ll feel quick snapping sensations as the laser shatters pigment into tiny fragments your body can process.
Comfort & cooling: Our providers use cooling and timing techniques to keep you comfortable throughout. Mild whitening (“frosting”) of the area during treatment is normal and temporary.
Downtime & aftercare: Expect mild redness, swelling, or tenderness for 24–72 hours. Keep the area clean, protected, and out of the sun; follow your customized aftercare instructions.
Series for best results: Most tattoos need multiple sessions spaced 6–10+ weeks apart to allow for adequate clearing between visits. Multicolor or dense, professional tattoos can require more sessions than small or faded ones.

Is Tattoo Removal right for me?

You’re a good candidate for tattoo removal if you:

Want to remove/lighten an unwanted tattoo, or prep for a cover-up
Can avoid sun exposure and follow aftercare instructions between sessions
Understand that a series is needed and that results vary by color/ink/skin
Have realistic expectations about possible faint “ghosting” of very old or dense tattoos

Considerations & exceptions:

Ink colors: Black and dark blue usually clear fastest; some bright hues may take longer.
Skin health: Active infections, open wounds, or recent sunburn in the area must heal first.
Medications/conditions: Certain meds or a history of keloids and light-sensitivity may affect candidacy—tell your provider during consult.
Skin tones: With proper settings and spacing, the Rohrer Spectrum is well suited for a variety of skin types for safe tattoo removal.

A thorough consultation and test spot will confirm eligibility and help set a realistic plan.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most tattoos require 6-12 sessions, spaced 6-8 weeks apart, but it depends on size, colors, ink density, age of the tattoo, and your skin’s response. Professional, multicolor pieces generally require more sessions than small, older, or amateur tattoos, and black ink is generally easier to remove than colors like green, red, or yellow. We’ll give you a personalized estimate for the recommended number of treatments at your consultation.

Most people describe a brief, hot “snap” sensation during laser tattoo removal. Some patients describe it as similar to getting a tattoo, but much faster. We use cooling and technique adjustments to keep you comfortable during your treatment.

Yes, tattoo removal is generally safe for darker skin, but it requires careful consideration and the right approach to avoid hypo- and hyperpigmentation. The technology we use features adjustable settings to safely treat a wide spectrum of skin tones. A patch test and custom programming are further used to ensure safety.

Certain pigments may be more resistant to laser removal than others. Typically, dark pigments clear fastest while reds, oranges, and some brighter hues can take more sessions. At your consultation, we’ll review the expectations and estimated number of treatments for your specific colors.

Absolutely. Many clients choose a few sessions to fade the existing work to give their artist a cleaner canvas for a cover-up.

Many tattoos fade dramatically; some may leave a faint shadow or “ghost image.” The location of the tattoo (i.e. ankles vs. upper body), the colors, and skin healing all play a role.

Temporary redness, swelling, pinpoint bleeding, frosting, or blistering can occur. Strict sun avoidance, gentle cleansing, and protective dressings (if recommended) help recovery. It is important to diligently follow all post-treatment instructions given by your aesthetician to achieve the best results and avoid skin irritation.

Avoid sun/indoor tanning and the application of any photosensitizing products on the area for 2 weeks prior to your treatment, or as instructed by your provider. During your consultation, share your medical history and prescription medications. Your provider will let you know when to discontinue certain medications pre-treatment. On the day of treatment, come with clean skin (no lotions/makeup/self-tanner).

We use the advanced Rohrer Spectrum laser system, which combines five powerful modalities in one platform: IPL, 810-Diode, Q-Switch YAG, Long Pulsed YAG, and Erbium YAG. Multiple wavelengths help address a range of ink colors safely and effectively.
