About your concern
About unwanted tattoos
A tattoo may no longer suit your style, or its colour and definition may have changed over time. With cosmetic tattooing, an old brow shape or faded microblading can also make it harder to achieve the look you now want.
The options depend on the pigment, its depth, your skin and whether the goal is fading or fuller removal. Existing tattoos cannot always be covered successfully with more pigment.
We primarily assess unwanted eyebrow tattoos and previous microblading, alongside selected body tattoos. Jess can explain whether laser treatment is appropriate and what degree of fading may be realistic.

Laser Tattoo Removal
Laser tattoo removal uses laser energy to target tattoo pigment. It may be used to fade selected tattoos or prepare suitable old brow work for a future redesign. A course is usually needed, and complete clearance cannot be guaranteed.
Your questions
Unwanted tattoo FAQs
Can old microblading be removed?
It may be suitable for laser fading or removal, depending on the pigment and skin. Cosmetic pigments can respond differently from conventional tattoo inks, so assessment is important.
Why has my eyebrow tattoo changed colour?
Pigments can fade unevenly over time, changing the balance of visible colour. Skin characteristics, previous work and the original pigment all influence the result.
Does a tattoo need to disappear completely before a cover-up?
Not always. Sometimes sufficient fading is enough to allow a better design. For brows, Jess can explain whether semi-permanent makeup may be considered after the area has healed.
Can every tattoo colour be removed equally well?
No. Ink composition and colour affect how pigment responds. Some tattoos fade more readily than others, and certain pigments may change colour during the process.
