How Many Sessions Will I Need?

By Cristina, NVQ Level 4 Aesthetic Therapist

There's no single answer here — the honest one is that every tattoo is different. Ink density, depth, colour, size, and age all influence how many sessions you'll need, along with your individual skin's response to treatment.

As a general range, body tattoos typically need 4 to 8 sessions, and eyebrow tattoos typically need 3 to 6, spaced 8 to 10 weeks apart so your skin fully recovers between each round. Smaller or single-colour tattoos tend to sit towards the lower end of that range.

Some cosmetic and eyebrow tattoos fade noticeably quickly, while larger, older, or more heavily inked body tattoos can need more sessions to reach the same result. This is exactly why we don't quote a fixed number of sessions upfront — we'll give you a realistic, personalised estimate at your free consultation once we've actually looked at your tattoo.
