Who this page is for
Tattoo removal is a multi-session commitment, and how well it works depends heavily on your specific tattoo. An honest assessment before you start matters more here than for almost any other laser treatment.
Removing a tattoo completely
You want the ink gone and need a realistic view of how many sessions your colours and ink density will take.
Fading for a cover-up
Fading an old tattoo enough for new work needs fewer sessions than full removal — a different, cheaper plan.
Stubborn colours or older ink
Greens, blues and layered professional ink respond differently — you deserve to know your tattoo's honest outlook.
Concerned about scarring or skin tone
Darker skin tones need conservative settings to protect skin pigment — a medical assessment protects you.
— What this involves
What laser tattoo removal involves
Laser tattoo removal uses ultra-short pulses — modern pico lasers are the standard — to shatter tattoo ink into particles small enough for your immune system to clear gradually. Each session breaks down more ink, and the skin needs six to eight weeks between sessions to clear the fragments and heal.
Your tattoo's characteristics decide the plan: black ink absorbs laser energy well and responds fastest; greens and blues are more stubborn; densely packed professional ink takes more sessions than faded amateur work. Skin tone matters too — darker skin needs conservative settings to protect its own pigment.
A session is quick — often minutes — after numbing cream. Expect frosting (a temporary white reaction), then redness and sometimes blistering that heals over days with proper aftercare. Diligent aftercare between sessions protects your result and your skin.
What determines the price? The tattoo's size, colours, ink density, and the number of sessions your plan needs. After a doctor's assessment at our Tanjong Pagar or East Coast clinic you receive a personalised, written quote — with an honest range for your specific tattoo, not a teaser rate.

Common questions
Most professional tattoos need a substantial series of sessions spaced six to eight weeks apart; amateur or faded tattoos often need fewer. Black ink clears fastest, while greens and blues are more stubborn. Your doctor will assess your specific tattoo and give you an honest range — not an optimistic teaser.
We do not publish prices because the quote depends on your tattoo's size, colours, ink density and session needs. After assessment you receive a personalised, written quote for the full expected course, with no obligation to proceed.
With modern pico lasers, appropriate settings and good aftercare, scarring risk is low — but it is not zero, and skin that scarred during the original tattooing carries more risk. Your doctor will assess your skin and be straight with you about your individual risk before treatment starts.
Most patients describe it as similar to or sharper than tattooing, but much faster — sessions often take minutes. Numbing cream is applied beforehand, and cooling is used during treatment to keep it tolerable.
We see patients at SBF Center, 160 Robinson Road #03-10 (Tanjong Pagar — call +65 8851 9547), and The Flow Mall, 66 East Coast Road #03-05 (East Coast — call +65 8857 4917).
