Laser Tattoo Removal Proves to be a Continuing Trend in 2020
Welcome to 2020! Chicken sandwich rivalries are seemingly settled, the Superbowl has TWO performers, and laser tattoo removal continues to be a highly sought-after aesthetic procedure! Tattoo removal has continued to sneak its way into mainstream media, and the treatment even got a shoutout during this commercial. This procedure’s popularity shows no signs of slowing down, and demand for laser treatments, laser clinics, and certified practitioners is higher than ever.
Just how much is the tattoo removal market growing? The tattoo/tattoo removal industry was worth about $1.6 billion in 2007, and it has now amassed to $3 billion in 2018. The exact cause of such a spike is up for debate, but we can identify a few factors. Tattoos have undoubtedly become more popular in recent years, and the art has experienced a revival. Tattoos have shifted from simple symbols of rebellion or commemoration in tattooing’s early days to now an intricate form of expression that allows people to wear works of art on their sleeve.
However, for as many incredible tattoos we find, there are just as many (or more) tattoos that aren’t quite as loved. We all know someone with “regretful ink” that they’ve fallen out of love with over the years for numerous reasons. Sometimes, the tattoo owner is no longer satisfied with the artwork, the tattoo no longer fits their lifestyle, they received the ink under duress, or the ink serves as a reminder of a painful time in one’s life. With this, comes tattoo regret (and a huge business opportunity for laser users).
To better understand the actual opportunity tattoo regret presents, it helps to quantify the area with a few statistics from the US Census Bureau. An estimated 29% of people over the age of 18 have tattoos. Of that 29%, approximately 23% live with tattoo regret. Laser tattoo removal takes multiple treatment sessions, and an entire treatment plan averages $1500. Understanding how lucrative the tattoo removal business can be, tattoo artists, med spa owners and technicians, physicians, and first-time entrepreneurs have jumped on this trend that’s here to stay.
