Description

Hope Foster, a thirty-year-old waitress, is undergoing tattoo removal for pieces she no longer wants, using Removerys PicoWay laser, which costs around $293,000 and uses ultra-short pulses to break down ink. Hope is paying $185 a month for three years to remove fourteen square inches of ink. The cost varies depending on size and complexity, with a medium-sized tattoo averaging $2,899 and an arm sleeve around $4,800. Removery offers payment plans and discounts, including a hero discount for military personnel, police, firefighters, and nurses. Jo Kelton, a founding member, notes that tattoo removal is becoming more about personal transformation, with roughly 25-30% of people wanting some of their tattoos removed. Removery has expanded to 165 locations across three countries. Daniel Hagerty, a medical director, compares tattoo removal to demolishing concrete with a sledgehammer. Hope, after twelve years, looks forward to a blank slate.
