As someone who’s guided people searching for pigment correction, I get asked all the time: “What actually happens when a tattoo fades?”. This guide walks you through every step — from initial assessment to healing — so you know what you’re getting into and protect your skin.

Whatever your goal for get rid of ink — whether it’s old cosmetic pigment — my aim is to make the process transparent, customised to your tattoo size.

### How Laser Tattoo Removal Really Works
Lasers don’t eliminate tattoos instantly. What they do is fragment the ink into microscopic fragments that your body removes naturally. That’s where laser systems, method, and biology all play a role.

At my Melbourne studio, we use top-of-the-line lasers like Q-Switched Alexandrite. Each wavelength is tailored to work at different depths, making it safe for all tones.
