1 laser treatment + cover-up

[Mike Panic]

I did one laser tattoo removal treatment on this client (after photo was not taken by me) and then John Barrett did the cover.

Wanted to share how well shading falls out and how it gave John and the client options for a half sleeve cover.

Can you lighten a green & blue background like that with one treatment?

Cool. Thanks for sharing. I think it's interesting to see before and afters.

No, it's rare that 1 treatment is all that is required for a cover-up tattoo. This exception was the large portions of grey-wash shading and the cover was / is fairly saturated.

Typically, regardless of what you're starting with, I'm doing 2-5 treatments for clients who are getting cover-ups. I work with my client and their tattoo artist so they aren't wasting more money or time with me than they have to, before getting tattooed.

Interesting! JD needs to have an old tattoo treated so he can cover it up.
