Removery, The World's Largest Tattoo Removal Company, Unveils New Insights on National Tattoo Removal Day

AUSTIN, Texas, Aug. 14, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- In honor of National Tattoo Removal Day, Removery, the world's tattoo removal experts, announced results from in-depth research on tattoo trends and how more people than ever are choosing to remove what was once considered permanent. Using quantitative and qualitative methods, Removery's research drew from internal databases, clinical studies, client surveys, and data spanning over one million tattoo removal treatments from 2019-2023 across the United States, Australia and Canada.

The research found that out of one in three Americans who have a tattoo, over 28 million people, the size of Australia's population, have at least one they do not like. Other key findings include the top five reasons for tattoo removal, the age breakdown of people getting tattoos removed, what to expect from tattoo removal and how to get the best removal results.

"Old tattoos can be a reminder of a life left behind," said Jo Kelton, COO of Removery. "By removing them, we help our clients evolve to brighter futures and a new version of themselves. We want to empower people to embrace change and help them feel confident in their new path."

Americans get 11 million new tattoos every year, as determined in the analysis. Removery's mission is to provide safe, effective, and accessible tattoo removal services in a judgment-free setting for those who choose to move on from a tattoo that no longer represents them. Removery found the largest group of people getting tattoos removed are aged 18-33 (62%), followed by 34-49 (39%), 50-65 (8%) and 66+ (1%).

When looking at the "why" behind tattoo removal, Removery found five primary reasons in its study. These include losing initial meaning, desire to get new art, tattoo quality, and life and career changes.

"As we age, our tastes can evolve," said Carmen Vanderheiden Brodie, Co-Founder and VP of Clinical Operations at Removery. "Many people have tattoos on their bodies that are a representation of their past and a daily reminder of who they are not today. At Removery, we want to help people reflect on the outside, who they are on the inside."

"Old tattoos can be a reminder of a life left behind," said Jo Kelton, COO of Removery. "By removing them, we help our clients evolve to brighter futures and a new version of themselves. We want to empower people to embrace change and help them feel confident in their new path."

A timeline of modern tattoo design trends ranging from the 1950s to today is also included in this study. From cherry designs in the 1980s to feathers in the early 2000s, tattoo trends have changed over the years and Removery's goal is to support its clients to move on from the ones that may have not stood the test of time.

Removery uses the latest and best technology in laser tattoo removal. The PicoWay® laser's pulse duration is one-trillionth of a second—200 times faster than how long it takes a bee to flap its wings. On average, 8-12 treatments are required to remove a tattoo completely.

"When it comes to tattoo removal results, the type of technology used and your provider's expertise highly impact treatment outcomes," said Vanderheiden Brodie. "Our Clinical Advisory Board determined the PicoWay® laser by Candela to be the gold standard of tattoo removal after multiple studies, and we continue to evaluate new technologies as they become available. It's simple – we make it easy for our clients to choose the best."
