A sleeve tattoo is one where the forearm, or even the upper arm as well, is tattooed all the way around.  The sleeve tattoo may have been a single project or may evolve over years as the recipient continues to add work to the area.  These tattoos take a substantial investment of time and money to create, so it’s unusual for someone to want an entire sleeve to be removed.   What we more often see is that someone has one of the sleeves that has evolved over time, and now the person wants part of it that they don’t like anymore removed.  Usually they are making room for another tattoo in the cleared area.  In that case, it’s sufficient to lighten the area rather than to completely remove the tattoo.  Sleeve tattoos often contain multiple colors, not all of which are easily removed, so removing an entire multicolor sleeve without a planned cover-up may be a daunting task.  Also, if someone is getting an entire sleeve tattoo lasered off, then the per square inch pricing is too expensive.  We come up with a custom price that is affordable and suitable according to the individual and the complexity of their tattoo removal project.   Contact us to schedule a free consultation for your sleeve tattoo.
