LASER TATTOO REMOVAL
At Pierce Your Soul, we don't just care about great results; we care about the transformation that happens to our clients, both inside and out. Pierce Your Soul's primary goal is to give others a fresh start by removing or transforming unwanted tattoos using the industry's most cutting-edge laser technology.
We understand the damaging impact an unwanted tattoo can have on someone's self-esteem and how empowering it can feel to remove an undesirable or regretful tattoo. That is why Pierce Your Soul offers free to low-cost treatments for gang-related and human-trafficking tattoos and free consultations to all clients.
Our Glendale practice believes quality results come from using the best technology, which is why we invested in the Astanza Trinity and Zimmer Cryo. Compared to our competitors, who charge exorbitant prices using second-tier equipment, Pierce Your Soul delivers full-spectrum removal and superior results that are second to none–all at an affordable price.
How does laser tattoo removal work?
When a tattoo is applied, a needle deposits ink particles in the skin's dermis, the deepest layer of skin. Upon insertion, the immune system recognizes the tattoo ink as foreign material and sends white blood cells to consume them. The white blood cells then dispose of the ink through the lymphatic system to be processed and naturally disposed of.
However, tattoo ink particles are too large in relation to the tiny white blood cells to be removed all at once. So instead, your body continuously works at the ink over time, which is why tattoos are permanent but gradually fade and lose color over a lifespan.
Laser tattoo removal essentially speeds up the natural fading process by breaking down the large ink particles into nanoparticles that are easier for your white blood cells to remove. During a laser treatment, our Trinity laser emits ultra-quick pulses of light energy onto the unwanted tattoo. The ink particles absorb the light energy, heat up, and shatter into tiny fragmented pieces, which your immune system then flushes out.
Multiple treatments are needed to reach significant fading and complete removal. Each laser treatment breaks up the numerous layers of ink that make up a tattoo, causing your tattoo to fade more and more until you reach your desired goal (complete removal vs. fading for a cover-up tattoo).

The cost of laser tattoo removal varies based on the size of the tattoo, ranging from extra small (XS) to extra large plus (XL+). To provide you with an accurate price and tailor a treatment plan to your specific needs, we require a consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions

-
What is the Zimmer Cryo cooling machine?Pierce Your Soul has invested in the Zimmer Cryo cooling machine to ease concerns about pain or discomfort from the laser. This non-invasive cooling technology directs freezing high-pressured air at a temperature of -22ºF directly onto the treatment site. Within seconds, the treatment site is numbed, alleviating any discomfort. The Zimmer Cryo is the gold standard skin-numbing solution. Unlike ice packs or numbing creams that wear off within a few minutes, the Zimmer Cryo delivers maximum comfort before, during, and after your treatment. Furthermore, the Cryo decreases the skin temperature quicker than other methods while eliminating the risk of skin burns. Ask about our Zimmer Cryo during your free consultation to learn more!

What is the Astanza Trinity technology?Pierce Your Soul uses the latest and best technology to ensure our clients receive the fastest, most successful results. We prioritized investing in a laser that could remove ALL tattoo colors while safely treating all skin types–no exceptions. The Astanza Trinity is a state-of-the-art system comprised of two standalone lasers: a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser and a Q-switched ruby laser. Together, these lasers produce a total of three full-powered wavelengths that target and remove all tattoo colors, something our competitors cannot achieve. As a result, this technology is trusted by leading laser tattoo removal providers, medical spas, physicians, and tattoo shops worldwide. In addition, it is widely regarded as the industry's most powerful triple-wavelength tattoo removal laser. The Trinity stands out from other lasers due to its versatile wavelengths. Most tattoo removal providers only offer two wavelengths and cannot treat all tattoos, especially ones with green and blue ink. Our Astanza Trinity uses three wavelengths of light energy to target and shatter every group of ink colors: 1064 nm: black, brown, and dark blue inks 532 nm: red, orange, yellow, and violet inks 694 nm: vivid blue, turquoise, teal, and bright green inks Many clinics often deem colors like bright blue and green untreatable because their laser does not support a ruby wavelength. Our 694 nm ruby wavelength targets and shatters resistant green and blue inks to remove all multicolored tattoos entirely. Furthermore, our Trinity uses advanced Q-switched technology to produce ultra-quick pulse durations of light energy at exceptionally high peak power for optimal ink shattering, faster ink clearance, and better results. Its homogenized spot beam profiles are designed with safety in mind, mitigating treatment overlap, applying an even distribution of energy, and allowing deeper penetration into the skin for optimal removal. Our expertly trained laser technicians matched with the industry-leading Astanza Trinity makes Pierce Your Soul Glendale's #1 destination for all your tattoo removal needs.
-
How long does each session take?The length of each session depends on the size and complexity of the tattoo being treated. Most sessions last between 10 and 30 minutes.
-
Can you remove all colors?We use advanced laser technology that can target and remove all tattoo colors, including challenging shades like blue and green.
-
Does laser tattoo removal hurt?Most patients compare the laser to a rubber band snapping against the skin, while others say the laser feels similar to a tattoo gun. Whether you have a high or low pain tolerance, Pierce Your Soul wants every client to feel as comfortable as possible during their treatment. Therefore, we use the Zimmer Cryo cooling machine to numb the skin before, during, and after your treatment. This non-invasive cold air machine minimizes pain throughout the entirety of your treatment while reducing thermal injury and unwanted side effects.
-
Are there any side effects?Laser tattoo removal is the safest method for removing unwanted ink from the skin. Our Trinity laser explicitly targets and shatters ink without damaging the surrounding skin tissue. The most common side effects of laser tattoo removal are itchiness, redness, swelling, scabbing, and blistering, all of which are temporary and heal over the weeks following treatment. We strongly advise refraining from picking or popping any scabs or blisters that develop. Doing so can lead to infection and scarring. Pierce Your Soul provides detailed aftercare instructions for all clients.
