Frequently Asked Questions About Crucial Tattoo Studio
How long will it take to remove my tattoo?
Each treatment session lasts 30 minutes to an hour. A minimum 8-week period is necessary between treatments to allow the skin time to heal. For example, a tattoo requiring 4 treatments will take a minimum of 32 weeks to remove.
How many treatments will I need?
We will give you an indication of how many treatments are required during your free 15-minute consultation. Generally, the average-sized tattoo requires 4 or 5 treatments. This depends on a variety of factors, including skin type, the age of the tattoo, your age, amount of pigment or ink, the location of the tattoo, and any history of other attempts to remove the tattoo.
How is it different than laser?
The Tatt2Away treatment removes all colors (it's color blind), unlike laser. It requires fewer treatments and is less painful than laser treatment. It is also less expensive (due to the reduced number of treatments), and it won't damage your natural skin pigment.
What kind of tattoos can be removed?
All kinds of tattoos can be removed, including whole tattoos, parts of a tattoo, clearing an area for replacement artwork, disguising a previous solid color cover-up, or re-shaping eyebrows or lip color tattoos. Tatt2Away removes all colors. It is effective on most skin types. It’s fast, safe, affordable, and can be largely pain-free.
How does Tatt2Away work?
Tatt2Away involves a revolutionary new treatment called Trans Epidermal Pigment Release (TEPR). After light abrasion of the skin, a safe, proprietary fluid is injected into the tattoo pigment. The fluid breaks down the ink or pigment and a scab forms over the treated area. When the scab falls away, the pigment comes with it, leaving clear, pink skin to heal.
Does it hurt?
Most clients have said that it is comparable to getting the original tattoo or less. Some have found it to be annoying, or experience an occasional jab of pain. Generally, the closer to the bone, the more sensitive it will be.
How much does it cost?
The cost of the treatment will depend on the size of the tattoo. If your tattoo looks as though it is a good candidate for this type of tattoo removal process, the next steps will include an "in-person consultation appointment" at the shop for a more formal overview of the project.
How long does each tattoo removal session take and how often are treatments scheduled?
Each session lasts between 30 minutes to an hour. Treatments are spaced at least 8 weeks apart to allow skin healing; for example, 4 treatments would take a minimum of 32 weeks.
How many tattoo removal treatments are generally needed?
Typically, an average-sized tattoo requires 4 or 5 treatments. The exact number depends on factors like skin type, tattoo age, ink amount, and location.
What makes Tatt2Away different from traditional laser tattoo removal?
Tatt2Away removes all colors, including those laser can't, requires fewer treatments, is less painful, less expensive, and doesn't damage natural skin pigment.

They can remove all kinds of tattoos, including full tattoos, parts, cover-up clearing, and reshaping eyebrow or lip color tattoos using Tatt2Away, effective on most skin types.
Can you explain how the Tatt2Away tattoo removal process works?
Tatt2Away uses Trans Epidermal Pigment Release (TEPR), involving light skin abrasion and injection of a proprietary fluid that breaks down ink. A scab forms and falls off, taking pigment with it.
