Do you avoid wearing t-shirts and other short-sleeved items because you have an unwanted tattoo on your upper limb? Then it’s time to get it removed! But given the high visibility, you are doing your due diligence to ensure that you go to the right place for your arm tattoo removal.

If you're in Vancouver or can travel there for the requisite number of sessions, NIXX Tattoo Removal is where to go to get the job done right.


Read ahead to find out why.

Why NIXX is Your Top Pick for Arm Tattoo Removal in the BC Lower Mainland

Proven Laser Technology

The most advanced laser technology is critical to a successful arm tattoo removal. That technology is PicoSure. It gets its name from the fact that it employs picosecond (equal to one trillionth of a second) bursts of laser to the ink, which breaks the ink down into infinitesimal particles that are “captured” by your body’s lymphatic system.


The lymphatic system is a group of organs, vessels and tissues that protect you from infection and keep a healthy balance of fluids throughout your body. What this all means is that the PicoSure laser system initiates a process that depends upon your body’s natural defences to take care of the rest. It’s the most organic way (so to speak) to remove tattoo ink, and the most effective.

Benefits of PicoSure include the following:

  • Safest removal
  • Shorter session duration
  • Fewer sessions required
  • Dramatically reduced potential for scarring and long-term discolouration
  • Works on all skin types
  • Most effective result (no tattoo!)


Given these benefits, NIXX will work for all parts of the arm:
