Tattoos often come with a whole load of baggage and can act as a persistent reminder of people or events that you’d rather leave behind in your past. Becca opened her heart to us about thisto us, and gave us permission to share it publicly.
This lady wanted rid of this for her wedding day, and we pretty much succeeded. Congratulations Marion! 💒
Very nearly gone - we'll give her another treatment in 6 months time and we should be finished then
Boom! ✨
Hand tattoos can be a bit slow, this is a fairly awesome result
Our Pro Camcorder project is complete at last
We made a policy decision to shoot everything in 9 x 16 from here on in, and it's surprisingly complex to rotate a video camera 90 degrees!
If you'd like your treatment videoed and made into a wee film for out socials please let us know 😁
Many thanks to Ffordes Photographic and 3 Legged Thing for all of your support through this 💙
We're in the endgame now - 8 treatments in, a few more to go
If you are wearing similar baggage, come see us and get it sorted. We'll take good care of you
This tattoo probably has had enough laser, we'll review it again in 6 months
We've worked with this gentleman for years removing naive artwork so that he can replace them with quality modern tattoos, great guy
We're back, rested, and ready to attend to all of your laser needs again
Thank you for your patience 💙
11 Treatments in. Wee bit of ink left and some erythema, but that will clear up over the next few months
This ugly thing had basically been carved into his arm
4 laser treatments and an awesome coverup by Tattooholic and you'd never know it was there
Za naszą i waszą wolność ❤️
Treating stick and poke tattoos today. Ciara was great fun
Trad military tattoos are always a challenge, but can be removed with our ruby laser
A bit of hypopigmentation (lightening of the skin) is inevitable with all of those colours, but this will reduce and blend over the next couple of years
All in, a great result!
In the last week we have had to turn away 3 clients because they have fake tan or makeup on the areas to be treated or patch tested
We communicate this requirement to you at the time of booking, in your booking confirmation emails, and with each reminder email you receive
If we use lasers on you while wearing fake tan or makeup you would be at a very high risk of adverse reactions and also the treatment wouldn't work
You need to trust us that we are going to provide you with safe and effective treatments. But at the same time we need to trust you that you will cooperate with the treatment plan and listen to what we say
These are the marks of a survivor
Some folk like to keep them in tribute to the hard times, others prefer to move on and erase them
If you are the latter, we treat these for free, as many times as it takes. Get in touch

Non-ablative Q-Switch laser gives great results with low risk & minimal downtime
This lady has responded well from her course of 3 laser facials. We use a non-ablative fractional modality to stimulate skin remodelling and collagenesis
* Reduce fine lines and wrinkles
* Reduce acne scarring
* Give a brighter more even skin tone
* Reduce pore size
* Visibly tighten skin
Follicular oedema - this is a clinical end point for hair removal. In other words, it shows us that the treatment is working!
But don't worry, it only lasts about 30 minutes. By the time we'd finished the other leg it had come down already

We're very proud to have played our small part in this masterpiece by Kenny
Awesome work by the artist, and a brave man to sit for it!
We performed 6 laser treatments to the dodgy dragon over a 12 month period to prepare for the new tattoo. We recommend at least 6 months, and preferably 12 months between laser and your new ink, but that decision is really between you and your artist. Because of lockdown chaos this gentleman actually went 2 years between his last laser and completion of his silverback tattoo.
Jen back to finish off her cherry angioma - great result regardless of it needing another ping today
You’ve researched the process of tattoo removal, you’ve carefully chosen a respected laser clinic with high quality equipment and a track record of results, and you’ve started treatment. But how do you get the best out of it? Tattoo removal relies on your immune system to do the heavy lifting and actually shift that ink out of your skin once the laser has broken it up into tiny fragments small enough to process. The main ways to optimise your results are to boost your immune system...
Cheeky wee thigh tattoo treatment today on this pistol packing femme fatale
Many thanks to Shelley for letting us film her treatment
We have the equipment and the know-how to treat facial threadveins safely and help you to keep looking your best
Many thanks to Anne for letting us film her treatment
We do free umbilicus hair removal with every bikini line, brazilian or hollywood bikini treatment. Doesn't feel like we've done the job properly otherwise!
Many thanks to surfer model Rhiannon for the tummy pic
Undergoing laser procedures is a fairly daunting thing for many people. There’s a whole lexicon of terminologies and brand names and lots of breathless claims about how a provider can radically change your life and fix all of your problems. How do you filter the nonsense from the reality? How do you know you’re getting value for money? How do you know that you’re going to be safe? How do you spot the cowboys?
