Laser tattoo removal at Weekday Ritual

Already have ink?

Start with a clean canvas.

We do laser tattoo removal in-house — so if there's something you'd rather not keep, we can fade or fully clear it before Shady designs your new piece. Same studio, same team, one plan from start to finish.

Lightening for a cover-up

A few sessions to fade the existing tattoo enough that your new design has room to breathe.

Full removal, then a fresh start

Clear the space completely and begin again with something custom.

What's the healing process like?
You can expect some peeling, dryness, and slight itchiness. Full healing takes about 2–4 weeks. During that time, avoid picking and certain skincare products — we'll guide you on exactly what to use.
Do I need to prep before my appointment?
Yes — we recommend avoiding caffeine, alcohol, and blood thinners for 24 hours before your appointment.
