Collarbone Tattoo Removal Vancouver BC

Share this article

The two horizontal bones that run between the top of the breastbone (sternum) and the shoulders are a very cool spot on the body for a tattoo. With the right button-up, v-neck t-shirt, or blouse, the wearer can show just enough to pique the onlooker's curiosity about what lies beneath. Or, with the right tank top or dress (or with nothing on at all), it can showcase one’s seductive or resilient personality (as it’s a painful part to get tattooed).

You likely thought the same when you originally went in to get a tattoo on your collarbone. But things have changed. The tattooist’s work was either poor quality, you didn’t get the design you really wanted, or your personality has evolved to the point that you no longer feel as if the tattoo is a proper representation of who you are.


Whatever the motivation, you require a collarbone tattoo removal. Vancouver locals and visitors alike choose NIXX laser tattoo removal for this particular service. You can either book your FREE, no-commitment consultation right away or read ahead for more information.

What to Know About Collarbone Tattoo Removal and Why Choose NIXX in Vancouver, BC

Is a Collarbone Tattoo Removal Painful?

When you received your collarbone tattoo, the procedure probably caused notable pain and discomfort. This is because the area has thin skin over a bone, with little fat for padding, resulting in a sharp, stinging sensation. While pain is subjective, most people find the collarbone area uncomfortable. 


Will the pain be the same for tattoo removal? 


No, the procedure won’t be as painful as the initial tattoo application. But when compared to laser tattoo removal on other parts of the body, the collarbone is considered one of the more painful areas. That said, our use of the most advanced laser technology, applied by experienced technicians, will make the procedure(s) much more comfortable than any alternative. 

Cost of Collarbone Tattoo Removal

Your specific search for tattoo removal over the collarbone suggests that the tattoo is smaller than those placed on larger surface areas adjacent to the collarbone (such as the chest). The smaller the area covered by ink, the fewer sessions required (generally) until complete removal has been achieved. Nevertheless, everyone’s skin is different, as is the complexity of the tattoo as it pertains to colour, boldness of lines, and shading.


For this reason, reputable clinics such as NIXX don’t provide a quote until the in-person consultation. The good news is that this consultation is FREE and commitment-free. There is absolutely nothing to lose by booking your appointment to visit our West 4th Avenue Kitsilano, Vancouver, BC clinic (get directions).
