So, you’ve been thinking about removing a tattoo.
Maybe it’s a name you don’t want on your skin anymore. Maybe it’s a faded stick-and-poke from college. Or maybe it’s just time for a clean slate.
But you haven’t booked a consultation yet because… well, you’re not sure what to expect.
Totally normal.
At Erase & Embrace Tattoo Removal in Temecula, we’ve worked with hundreds of clients who felt the exact same way. So today, we’re giving you a full behind-the-scenes look at what actually happens during a tattoo removal consultation—no pressure, no judgment, just real info.
Step 1: We Sit Down and Talk—That’s It
Your consultation is free, and there’s no commitment required. You’re not locked into anything. It’s just a chance for us to:
- Look at your tattoo(s)
- Talk about your goals
- Answer your questions
- Build a custom treatment plan if you’re ready
Most consultations take about 20–30 minutes.
We keep things laid-back, informative, and respectful. Whether you’re 100% sure or just curious, you’ll leave with all the details you need to make the right decision for you.
Step 2: We Examine Your Tattoo (and Maybe Take a Photo)
We’ll take a close look at the tattoo(s) you’re considering removing and evaluate things like:
- Ink color(s)
- Tattoo depth and age
- Location on the body
- Skin tone and type
- Presence of blowouts or scarring
We may also take a clinical photo to document the tattoo’s starting point—totally private and just for tracking your progress later.
This helps us tailor the laser settings and number of sessions to your specific needs.
Step 3: We Walk You Through the Process
Here’s what we’ll cover, based on your specific tattoo:
- How laser tattoo removal works (ink fragmentation + immune response)
- How many sessions you might need
- How much time to expect between visits
- What kind of fading or results are realistic
- The cost per session or package options
- What to expect after each treatment (healing, aftercare, etc.)
We’ll also talk about whether you’re removing the tattoo completely or just fading it for a cover-up, which may change your treatment plan.
Step 4: Ask All Your Questions (Seriously)
Don’t be shy. Ask us anything—pain level, healing time, risks, even what the laser sounds like (spoiler: it’s kind of like a rubber band snap). We’ve heard it all, and we’re here to give you honest answers.
Here are a few questions clients often ask:
- “Will it hurt more than getting the tattoo?”
- “Can I go back to work afterward?”
- “What if my skin is darker—will the laser still work?”
- “Can you remove just part of the tattoo?”
- “How soon can I start?”
Nothing is off-limits. This is your skin—we want you to feel confident and informed every step of the way.
Step 5: If You’re Ready, We Can Book Your First Session
If you decide you’re ready to start, we’ll book your first laser session and go over pre-treatment instructions. (Think: no sun exposure, no self-tanner, stay hydrated, etc.)
If you need more time to think about it—that’s completely okay. We’re not here to rush you. We’re here when you’re ready.
Final Thoughts: You Don’t Have to Be 100% Sure—Just Curious
Booking a consultation doesn’t mean you’re committing to removal. It means you’re curious, ready to explore your options, and taking a step toward feeling better in your skin.
And that’s something we seriously respect.
