At Meraki, we offer safe, effective Laser Tattoo Removal using the advanced Rohrer Spectrum Q-switched YAG laser, designed to fade and eliminate unwanted tattoos with precision. Whether you’re looking to fully remove a tattoo or lighten it for a cover-up, our laser technology breaks down ink particles beneath the skin so your body can naturally eliminate them over time.
The Spectrum laser uses dual wavelengths (1064nm and 532nm) to target both dark and vibrant ink colors, making it highly versatile across a wide range of tattoos. Treatments are quick, non-invasive, and require minimal downtime—perfect for clients looking to move forward with fresh skin and confidence. There may be a need for multiple sessions for optimal results, depending on the tattoo’s size, depth, and ink type. Our priority is not only effective removal, but also preserving your skin’s health and appearance throughout the process.
Our experienced providers will evaluate your tattoo’s size, color, location, and age to create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your skin and ink type. Throughout the process, you’ll receive expert guidance to ensure the best result possible.

FAQ'S
How does laser tattoo removal work?
As a result of the Q-switched laser’s pulsed light energy, tattoo ink is broken into tiny particles. Your body then naturally flushes these particles out through the lymphatic system over the following weeks.
How many sessions will I need?
Most tattoos require 6–10 sessions, depending on the size, age, color, ink depth, and your skin type. We recommend spacing our sessions 6–8 weeks apart to allow time for healing and ink clearance.
Does tattoo removal hurt?
It is possible for laser tattoo removal to be mildly uncomfortable—similar to the feeling of a rubber band snapping against the skin. We offer numbing options to help make treatments more comfortable.
Can all ink colors be removed?
The Rohrer Spectrum laser effectively treats black, blue, and red inks. Some lighter pigments like green or yellow may be more resistant, but significant fading can still be achieved.
Will my tattoo be completely gone?
Many tattoos can be fully removed, while others may fade significantly. Your results depend on several factors, which we’ll discuss during your consultation.
What’s the downtime after each treatment?
There’s little to no downtime. You may experience redness, swelling, or a mild scab in the treated area for a few days. In order for the area to heal, it is important to keep it clean and protected.
Is laser tattoo removal safe for all skin types?
While the treatment is safe for most skin tones, certain pigment types may require more cautious settings. We’ll assess your skin during consultation to ensure optimal safety and effectiveness.
Can I get a new tattoo over the treated area?
Many clients choose to lighten an existing tattoo in preparation for a new one. Once the area is fully healed, it’s safe to undergo a cover-up with new ink.
Are there any risks or side effects?
Some temporary side effects include redness, swelling, blisters, or pigmentation changes. Our providers follow strict protocols to minimize risk and promote proper healing.
