Laser Tattoo Removal Consultations
Whether you want to discuss fading a tattoo or removing unwanted ink, start with an assessment of the tattoo and surrounding skin. At Birmingham Skin and Physio Clinic, explain your goal, including whether you are planning a future cover-up.
What to Discuss at Your Consultation
- Review tattoo size, colours, location and previous removal attempts.
- Discuss your skin tone, healing history and recent sun exposure.
- Ask about the proposed laser, patch testing and treatment suitability.
- Understand the likely course, costs and recovery between sessions.
- Agree realistic expectations: complete ink clearance is not guaranteed.
Planning a cover-up or removal course
Let the team know your timescale and whether a tattoo artist is planning a cover-up. Treatment and healing take time, so avoid committing to an event date based only on an online estimate. Confirm the price per visit and how the cost may change with the number of sessions.
Find listed treatment prices, meet our team or ask a question before booking.

Frequently Asked Questions
The answer depends on the ink, tattoo and skin response. Multiple appointments may be needed and some ink can remain. Ask for an initial estimate, the spacing between visits and the point at which progress would be reassessed.
Some colours respond better than others, and the available equipment matters. An assessment should explain likely limitations for your tattoo rather than promise the same result for every ink colour or depth.
Ask for clear instructions on cleaning, protecting and caring for the treated skin, including sun exposure and activities to avoid. Do not pick blisters or crusts. Know how to contact the practitioner if healing causes concern.
