Not Loving Your Cosmetic Tattoo?
Cosmetic tattoo removal is the treatment for you if you are unhappy with your current permanent makeup. Maybe the colour or shape isn’t what you expected and you don’t like how it looks. Or perhaps it’s been a while since your last treatment, so it has considerably faded or you feel like it no longer suits your look.
Whatever your reason, cosmetic tattoo removal gives you a fresh canvas either for a natural new look or reapplication of a treatment.

Cosmetic Tattoo Removal FAQ's
What is cosmetic tattoo removal?
Cosmetic tattoo removal is a specialised and very precise process designed to remove or fade permanent makeup, such as eyebrow tattoos, lip liner, freckles, or scalp micro-pigmentation.
How long should I wait to get a cosmetic tattoo removed?
If you’re unhappy with a cosmetic tattoo, you should wait at least 6–8 weeks after getting the treatment to ensure the area has fully healed before starting the removal process.
How many sessions will I need?
As a guide, tattoos generally require between 3-6 sessions for complete removal, though this can vary based on various factors including size, colour, age of tattoo, and location.
How long are the treatments?
Although the actual laser treatment is very quick, each laser session may take 30 minutes or more. This is because at Outer Ink, we take our time for pre and post care.
How often will I need a treatment?
Sessions are typically spaced 6-8 weeks apart to allow your skin to heal and your immune system to process the broken-down ink.
Is it painful and are there any side effects?
The discomfort can vary depending on individual pain tolerance and the location and size of the tattoo. We can use numbing products to make the process more comfortable. While we take a high level of due care to ensure tattoo removal is as gentle and effective as possible, some people may experience side-effects such as redness, swelling, tenderness, blistering, or temporary skin discolouration.
What happens in your body when you use a laser to remove a tattoo?
Removing a tattoo with a laser is a delicate, multi-step process that uses advanced technology to break down the tattoo ink in the skin.
Here’s a very simple breakdown to help you understand the process.
- The laser causes the ink particles to break apart into smaller fragments.
- The body’s immune system recognises the broken-down ink particles as foreign and begins to absorb them into the bloodstream and remove them as waste.
- Over repeated sessions, the tattoo will fade as the ink continues to break down and be absorbed naturally by the body.

What After Care is Best for Effective Results?
Proper aftercare is essential for optimal results. We recommend our Outer Ink aftercare pack and following our instructions to assist to relieve symptoms and prevent scarring. That being said there are many different approaches to care for your skin after treatment.
What is the downtime after treatment?
Downtime is minimal after cosmetic tattoo removal. You may experience redness or mild swelling for a few days, so it’s important to follow aftercare instructions to protect the area.
