Tattoo Fading (Cover-Up Prep)
50 tattoo removal clinics · ranked by rating & reviews
Tattoo fading is removal with a different goal: instead of taking the tattoo down completely, the clinic lightens it enough for an artist to work a new design over it. Because the target is partial, fading typically takes fewer sessions than full removal - often 2-4 - which makes it the cheaper path when you already know a cover-up is coming. Many clinics coordinate directly with tattoo studios, and some studios offer fading in-house. Bring your cover-up plan to the consultation: how much lightening the new design needs drives the session count and the total price, so confirm the all-in package price at a consultation before you book.
Typical pricing
Typical US pricing: same per-session rates as standard laser removal ($100-400 for small pieces, more for large), but fading for a cover-up usually needs only 2-4 sessions - a lower total than full removal. Confirm the all-in package price at a consultation.
