Celebrating World Tattoo Removal Day: Removery's Milestone
This August 14th, as we recognize World Tattoo Removal Day, Removery proudly announces a major milestone: close to
2 million successful tattoo removals. This achievement emphasizes the increasing demand for tattoo removal services, fueled partly by a growing sense of empowerment among clients wishing to erase past ink. Nearly
300,000 individuals have undergone treatments at Removery, and they are embracing the chance to reclaim their skin.
In a significant shift from the past, a recent groundbreaking clinical pilot study by Removery has concluded that tattoo removal can effectively commence as soon as
8 to 14 days post-application, contradicting the traditional waiting period of several weeks or months. This finding not only paves the way for faster treatments but also ensures safety and effectiveness, subsequently enabling clients to take control of their tattoo regrets without compromising their wellbeing.
“Tattoo regret doesn’t wait, so why should removal?” states Dr. William Kwan, Chair of Removery's Clinical Advisory Board. “This study empowers individuals to act quickly while maintaining safety and effectiveness.”
Detailed insights from Removery's expansive tattoo removal database, which spans more than
200,000 clients and involves
500,000 tattoos across the U.S., Canada, and Australia, reveal interesting market trends. Here are some pivotal points:
1.
Demographic Insights: The largest segment of Removery’s clients is comprised of
Millennials and Gen Z individuals, with
38% in their 30s and
29% in their 20s.
2.
Visibility Matters: A notable
46% of the tattoos being removed are located on prominent body areas such as the forearm, hand, face, neck, and ears, indicating that people are increasingly open to altering their visible ink.
3.
Color Matters: The majority of removals (around
75%) involve black ink, suggesting certain tattoo pigments might be more prevalent among clients seeking removal.
4.
Inclusivity in Care: The data aligns with the
Fitzpatrick Skin Type Scale, showing a high representation of skin types III and IV, thus highlighting the necessity for varied and expert-led treatment adapted to different skin tones.
“Tattoo removal isn’t simply about erasing the past; it’s about making space for the future,” remarks Dr. Josh Weitz, Chief Medical Officer at Removery. “This generation is choosing transformation on their own terms, and our mission is to guide that journey with expertise, precision, and care.”
With the rising demand for tattoo removal evident across numerous markets, Removery is committed to more than just ink removal. Their mission includes providing clients with confidence during their personal transformations.
“Whether someone is removing a name, a trend, or a tattoo that simply no longer resonates with who they are today, our goal is to make the process as empowering as the decision itself,” explains Tom Weber, CEO of Removery. “After nearly 2 million treatments, we’ve witnessed firsthand how transformative this work can be.”
Treatment pricing at Removery depends on the tattoo size, with the average cost for complete removal around
$1,750, which includes unlimited sessions until all removable ink is eliminated. Generally, clients require between
8 to 12 sessions to achieve total removal.
