The Real Reason You’re Thinking About Surgery

Still Living With Ink You Regret, Even After Laser?

Unwanted Reminders Won’t Budge

You’ve outgrown the tattoo — but it’s still staring back at you every day.

Laser Didn’t Work

You’ve already spent time and money on laser sessions… with little to no result.

Ink Is Raised, Dark Or Stubborn

Thick, raised or black tattoos are notoriously difficult to remove with lasers.

You Just Want It Gone Now

You’re done waiting months between sessions — you want a clean slate.

What Is Surgical Tattoo Removal?

Surgical tattoo removal is a quick and effective solution for permanently removing unwanted tattoos by physically excising the inked skin. It’s particularly suitable for tattoos that haven’t responded to laser treatment or those that are deep, raised, or in awkward locations.

The treatment is performed under local anaesthetic, typically in under an hour, and leaves a fine linear scar in place of the tattoo. While not suitable for large tattoos, it offers immediate and permanent removal for smaller areas.

The Benefits Of Surgical Tattoo Removal

Instant, Permanent Results

Unlike laser, the tattoo is removed in one session with no ongoing treatments.

No Colour Or Depth Limitations

Works on all ink colours, densities and skin types — including stubborn or raised ink.

Minimal Downtime

Walk-in, walk-out treatment under local anaesthetic with quick healing.

Scar Can Be Managed

We’ll guide you on scar healing and can offer treatments if required.

When you get in touch with UKSKIN about tattoo removal, your dedicated Patient Coordinator will walk you through the process.

2

Free Surgeon Assessment

You’ll submit photos of the tattoo you want removed, which will be reviewed free of charge by a surgeon to determine if surgical excision is appropriate. Surgical removal is often recommended for raised, deep or stubborn tattoos that haven’t responded well to laser treatment.

If suitable, you’ll be given a quote upfront and details about the likely scar and healing process so you can make an informed decision.

How big can the tattoo be for surgical removal?

Can coloured tattoos be removed this way?
