Tattoo Removal in Las Vegas
Skin Design Tattoo
Skin Design Tattoo Removal was created to provide individuals with an elegant, welcoming and sterile environment to remove unwanted tattoos. While we highly recommend making an appointment, we do accept walk-in customers should they be willing to wait for an opening.
Our service is friendly, safe and our state of the art equipment is the most effective solution to remove unwanted tattoos. Aside from removing tattoos, we also offer packages to lighten tattoos or completely remove them. We also offer free consultations and can guide you through the procedures, as well as a timeline and schedule as to how long it may take to remove your unwanted, old or faded pieces.
If you’re ready to make a change, are curious about our service or would like to schedule a consultation, please click this here to schedule your FREE, no obligation consultation. During the consultation we’ll address any questions or concerns, measure the size of your tattoo and assess the inks that were used. From there, you will get a FREE estimate of the number of treatments needed to remove your tattoo and if scheduling permits, we will start your treatments immediately afterward, saving you even more time.

NUMBING CREAMS
While most of our clients prefer to tackle laser tattoo removal treatments without any anesthesia, we do have some patients who apply numbing cream at home prior to their appointment. If you prefer to apply the cream at our facility we suggest that you arrive 1 hour prior to your appointment. Additional charges may apply if we apply the cream at our facility. Please call with any questions.
DOES IT HURT?
While we wouldn’t say it hurts, we will say there is a slight discomfort when getting tattoo removal done. Some say that they feel a sharp tingling sensation, but pain ratings are entirely dependent on your pain threshold. Best described as a rubber band slapping your skin, you can come in and ask more questions should you have any questions or concerns.
At Skin Design Tattoo Removal we pride ourselves in educating our customers prior to any decisions being made which is why we offer no pressure, free consultations.
WHAT IS THE COST?
Cost is dependent upon the size of your tattoo, your end goal (remove or lighten), as well as the color and age of your tattoos. For very large tattoos, we typically gauge prices per square inch, and the color and age of tattoo play a role in cost because some colors are harder to remove or lighten.
Keep in mind that lightening a tattoo for a cover up will be much cheaper than entirely removing a piece and these are some of the reasons why we offer free consultation.
HOW MANY SESSIONS WILL BE NEEDED TO REMOVE A TATTOO?
Every tattoo (because of ink color, age and the ink used) responds differently due to a number of variables, which include skin type, chemical compositions and compounds of the ink used (jail house ink is hardest to remove), depth, and density of ink placement.
In short our Quanta system is the most effective technology in the market and during your consultation, one of our in house clinicians will estimate the number of tattoo removal sessions needed to remove your tattoo.
HOW MANY TIMES CAN I GO?
Our recommendation in general is that you wait 4-6 weeks between sessions. This recommendation is also addressed on a case by case scenario as differently skin types and the speed of your healing affect when you should and shouldn’t go. In most cases we highly recommend waiting a few weeks between each session. This maximizes the effectiveness of our treatments and gives your body time to heal.
WHAT COLORS ARE EASIEST & HARDEST TO REMOVE?
Black and Grey are the easiest ink colors to remove. Usually, a Yag(1064nm) laser works well for these)
Green is the most difficult followed by light blue (Yag and Alexandrite lasers 1064nm and 755nm).
Red/brown/yellow/orange respond well in my experience primarily using 532nm laser.
The bottom line is you can usually clear a tattoo to a level that is barely noticeable to the naked eye, it’s just a matter of how many treatments it will take to get there. That’s because of the great variability in ink composition and our own individual immune systems which is actually what clears the ink.
WHAT ABOUT AFTERCARE?
During your treatments, your tattoo may turn white for a short period of time. From there, the treated area may experience a bit of swelling and you may be left with a sensation of being sunburnt. We recommend that you cover the area with ointment and a bandage during the healing process. Between your treatments, it is important to keep the tattoo covered from the sun to prevent hyperpigmentation (darkening). You will receive detailed instructions during your appointment.
WHAT ARE THE SIDE EFFECTS?
Side effects include just a mild irritation followed by intense happiness and pleasure that your old or unwanted ink is gone. Many people want to remove gang tattoos, ex’s names, and drunken mistakes, while others simply want to lighten older tattoos to make room for new and improved ink.
