Whether it's an ex's name, a regrettable spring break decision, or just a design you've simply outgrown -- laser tattoo removal at Happy Drip IV & Wellness safely and effectively fades unwanted ink so you can start fresh.
Laser tattoo removal works by delivering high-intensity pulses of light energy into the skin. The laser targets the pigment in tattoo ink, shattering it into tiny fragments small enough for your immune system to naturally flush away over time.
Different ink colors absorb different wavelengths of light -- which is why darker inks (black, navy, dark green) tend to respond faster than lighter or more complex colors. Each session fades the tattoo progressively, with full removal taking multiple treatments depending on the size, age, colors, and depth of the ink.
All treatments at Happy Drip IV & Wellness are performed or directly overseen by Brittany Adams, APRN FNP-C, who will assess your tattoo and create a realistic treatment plan tailored to you.
From tiny regrets to full sleeves, we can help. Here's what laser tattoo removal can address:
The easiest to remove -- dark pigment absorbs laser energy efficiently, often fading significantly within just a few sessions.
Colored inks require specific wavelengths. We'll assess your tattoo's palette and recommend the right protocol for multi-color work.
Older, already-faded tattoos often respond more quickly to treatment -- your immune system has already been at work for years.
Minimalist tattoos, fine lines, and small designs can often be fully removed in fewer sessions than larger, more saturated pieces.
Not looking for full removal? Fading a tattoo enough to prep for a cover-up is a popular option -- we can fade it to the right level for your artist.
Microblading, lip liner, eyeliner tattoos, and other permanent cosmetics can also be addressed -- ask us about options at your consultation.
We assess the tattoo's size, colors, ink depth, age, and location to estimate the number of sessions and set realistic expectations.
We apply a cooling device before and during the session. The laser delivers rapid pulses to shatter ink particles. Most sessions take just minutes.
Your immune system gets to work flushing fragmented ink. You'll notice fading between sessions. Wait 6--8 weeks before your next treatment.
Repeat until you reach your goal -- whether that's complete removal or a lighter base ready for a fresh cover-up design.

Honestly? A bit. Most people describe it as similar to a rubber band snapping quickly against the skin -- intense for a split second, then it's over. Sessions are very short (often just a few minutes for smaller tattoos), and we use cooling techniques to keep discomfort as low as possible. Most people find it very tolerable.
On average, most tattoos require 5--10 sessions for significant to complete removal, spaced 6--8 weeks apart. Factors like tattoo age, ink colors, size, depth, and your immune health all affect the timeline. Amateur tattoos typically fade faster than professional ones. During your consultation, we'll give you a realistic estimate based on your specific tattoo.
In many cases, yes -- especially for black and dark-colored tattoos. Some tattoos, particularly those with certain ink colors (light blues, greens, and yellows can be stubborn), may fade significantly but not disappear 100%. We'll set realistic expectations at your consultation so you know what "success" looks like for your specific tattoo.
Properly performed laser tattoo removal has a very low risk of scarring. Following aftercare instructions is key -- avoid picking or peeling treated skin, keep the area protected from the sun, and moisturize as directed. If the original tattoo was placed over a scar, that scar may still be visible after the ink is removed.
Keep the treated area clean and moisturized. Avoid sun exposure and tanning for several weeks post-treatment. Don't pick at blistering or peeling skin -- that's your body doing its job. We'll send you home with full written aftercare instructions after every session.
Absolutely -- and this is a very popular use case. You don't have to fully remove a tattoo to prep for a cover-up. Just a few fading sessions can lighten the existing ink enough to give your tattoo artist a lot more freedom with the new design. Let us know this is your goal at your consultation and we'll create a plan accordingly.
