Is Your Tattoo Losing Its Edge?
We’ve all been there: you’re excited about a new piece, but as it heals, the ink begins to spread, creating a fuzzy, "halo" effect around the lines, known as a tattoo blowout. While it’s common, you don’t have to live with a blurred design forever.
At Ink-Remedy, we specialize in professional tattoo blowout correction, helping you regain the clarity and the sharp detail you and your ink deserve.
What Is Tattoo Blowout?
A blowout occurs when ink is deposited too deeply into the skin, reaching the fatty layer beneath the dermis. Because the tissue structure there is different, the ink spreads uncontrollably.
Signs Your Tattoo Has Blown Out:
-
Lines look "smudged" or blurry.
-
A faint blue or grey shadow appears around the tattoo.
-
The ink seems to be "bleeding" into the surrounding skin.
How We Fix Tattoo Blowout:
We use the state-of-the-art PicoWay® Laser System for our blowout corrections. Unlike traditional lasers that rely on heat and can sometimes cause further blurring or scarring, PicoWay uses ultra-short, picosecond pulses (one-trillionth of a second!) to fix your ink from the inside out.
Why PicoWay is the Best Choice for Blowouts:
-
Targeted Precision: We can target the "halo" of the blowout with microscopic accuracy, leaving your original tattoo lines untouched.
-
Safe for All Skin Tones: PicoWay technology is FDA-cleared and effective across a wide range of skin tones and ink colors, including stubborn blues and greens.
-
Minimal Downtime: Because the laser is so fast, there is significantly less heat is transferred to your skin, leading to faster healing and less discomfort.

What is the difference between correction and removal?

Correction removes the blurred, halo-like effect from the tattoo, leaving you with crisper lines. Removal aims to completely remove the ink pigmentation from the skin.
How Many Sessions Do I Need?

Most can be removed in a single session, but some tattoo corrections may require up to 3 visits.
How Long Will it Take to Heal?
-
Most people experience slight redness or swelling for 24–48 hours.
How Much Does Tattoo Blowout Correction Cost?

This depends on the severity of the blowout, the intricacy of the tattoo design, and whether you will require multiple sessions. We offer free estimates and have several payment plans.
