At Tenko, we offer professional laser tattoo removal using the trusted AW3® Q-Switched Nd:YAG system, built for fading, reworking, or fully removing tattoos.
Whether you’re planning a cover-up, outgrown a piece, or just want a clean slate - we’re here to help, no judgement.

Before starting any removal, we’ll carry out a small test patch during your consultation. It helps us check your skin’s reaction and make sure you're not allergic to the treatment.
Whether you just need one session or a few, we’ll work around what suits you. Book as you go, or save with a package deal.
It uses short, powerful pulses of light that target the ink without damaging the surrounding skin. Each pulse hits the pigment and shatters it into tiny particles, a bit like cracking glass. Over the following weeks, your immune system slowly clears these particles away - that’s what makes the tattoo fade.
We use an AW3® Q-Switched Nd:YAG laser, which is the go-to standard for safe and effective removal. It uses two specific wavelengths:
• 1064nm – for black and dark ink
• 532nm – for red, orange, and warmer colours
You’ll usually see a whitening or “frosting” effect straight after the session - that’s normal. It fades in a few hours, and the real results develop over the next 6 to 8 weeks as your body does the clearing.
We space sessions to give your skin time to heal and your body time to remove the ink properly. It’s a gradual process, but a safe one - and we’re here to guide you through every step.
