![A beautiful Fade to Cover story ? Amanda Louise came to NIXX with a clear goal: not necessarily full removal, but enough fading to make space for something new.
After 3 laser removal sessions with Craig, the original tattoo was softened enough for the next chapter: this stunning Luna Moth chest piece by Ashley Horncastle at Liquid Amber Tattoo.
The result is such a gorgeous example of what #fadetocover can make possible.
At NIXX, #tattooremoval is not always about erasing the past. Sometimes, it is about preparing the skin for a new piece that feels more aligned with who you are now!
A huge thank you to Amanda Louise for sharing her story, and to Ashley for the incredible tattoo work.

![#Top5Things to know before your first #tattooremoval session:
? Hydration matters more than people realize.
Drink plenty of water in the two days before your appointment and for a couple of days afterwards. Staying hydrated helps support your body as it clears away the broken-down ink particles.
? Skip the sun before your session.
Avoid direct sun exposure and tanning for at least six weeks before treatment. Use SPF 60 or higher on the area being treated. Zinc-based sunscreen is a great option for extra protection.
? Your immune system does the real work.
The laser breaks the ink into smaller particles, but your body does the clearing over time. Good sleep, hydration, and overall wellness can help support the process.
⚡ The first session is rarely the most dramatic.
Tattoo removal is gradual. Some tattoos respond quickly, while others take more time depending on the ink, depth, age, location, and your body’s response.
? Bring questions, no pressure.
We’re here to walk you through the process, answer your questions, and make your experience as comfortable as possible. Your first session is about starting safely, thoughtfully, and with realistic expectations.
?️ Save $100 off your first session.
New season, new skin. Start your removal journey with the right hands and save $100 on your first session at NIXX. Limited time offer. Terms and conditions apply. Visit our website for more details.

![Eight treatments. One almost-blank canvas.
This back piece had it all: fine linework, heavy shading, and a lot of saturated black. The kind of detail that looks incredible as a tattoo and takes real patience to remove. Swipe to see where it landed after eight sessions.
Here's the honest truth: some results take time. Dense, intricate ink doesn't disappear overnight, but with the right plan and the right laser for the job, even the most detailed work can fade to barely there.
No rush, no pressure. When you're ready to start your own, a free consultation is the first step. ?

#ClientLove: words that mean the world! "Craig is extremely professional, polite, and patient. Although the tattoo removal process isn't the most comfortable, Craig always makes me feel at ease during each session. Highly recommended!" ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ @vancitytattooremoval you are 💛!Button -
![Colour, gone.
Five treatments. Soft purples, green stems, and a pop of red, the kind of coloured ink that's known for putting up a fight. Swipe to see how little is left.
Here's why this one matters: colour doesn't break down the way black does. It takes the right wavelengths to lift it, which is precisely how a piece this vibrant fades to almost nothing.
Some results take time, and colour often takes a little more. No rush, no pressure. When you're ready, a free consultation is the first step. ?

Here's the honest truth: some results take time. A tailored plan, the right laser for the ink, and a little patience can take a tattoo from bold and saturated to barely there.
