Planning a Tattoo? Read this first!

Are you thinking about getting a tattoo? Whether it's your first or your next, preparing your skin properly is key to getting the best results—and that’s where laser hair removal comes in.

Why Consider Laser Hair Removal Before a Tattoo?

While laser hair removal cannot be performed over an existing tattoo, it can be safely and effectively done before you get inked. By removing unwanted hair from the area in advance, you’re not only ensuring a cleaner canvas for your tattoo artist, but you're also helping your tattoo heal more evenly and vibrantly.

Benefits of Hair Removal Before Tattooing:

  • Smooth, even skin makes for easier tattoo application

  • Reduces the risk of infection by removing hair that could trap bacteria

  • Improves ink saturation, helping tattoo colors appear brighter and more defined

  • Clears the area for detailed designs, especially if body hair would interfere

Whether you're planning a tattoo on your arm, back, chest, legs, or any other area, laser hair removal can help ensure that your skin is ready for artwork that lasts.

Timing Is Everything

We recommend starting laser hair removal well before your tattoo appointment, as multiple sessions are typically needed for optimal results. This also allows time for the skin to heal fully before undergoing tattooing.
