Wrist Tattoo Removal Vancouver, BC

Share this article

Unless you spend all your time bundled up from head to toe, gloves included, your wrists are among the most frequently exposed parts of your body. You see them, and others do, frequently as you go about your day. Of course, few people give it much thought, unless, of course, there is a tattoo on the wrist. 

Wrist tattoos have become increasingly popular over the last decade, as visible body art is acceptable in nearly all settings and workplaces. They also hold symbolic meaning. A wrist tattoo's significance can vary widely, often representing a personal connection to themes of strength, healing, remembrance, aspiration, or culture.



Placement also provides a daily reminder of whatever it is the design may represent. Unfortunately, this visibility can also lead to negative feelings among those who are unhappy with the tattoo. It’s safe to assume that you’re among the latter, considering that you have arrived at this article after seeking a service for wrist tattoo removal near you in Vancouver, BC.

What to Know About Wrist Tattoo Removal in Vancouver and Why Choose NIXX

Is Wrist Tattoo Removal Safe?

Logically, you want to know that you won’t be left with a scar on your highly visible wrist, which is why you’re wondering if wrist tattoo removal is safe. Further, those who are especially cautious seek added peace of mind, given that the veins on the underside of the wrist (radial, ulnar, cephalic, and basilic veins) lie beneath a thin layer of skin.


To avoid the risk of scarring and other complications, avoid surgical removal and dermabrasion, which are high-risk procedures. Also, avoid older Q-switched lasers, which pose a greater risk than newer state-of-the-art technology. NIXX uses the latter (advanced laser tech) so that wrist tattoo removal is not only effective but also safe.

Cost of Wrist Tattoo Removal

The wrist represents a very small canvas area when compared to other commonly tattooed parts of the body. The smaller the surface area, the fewer laser sessions required (generally) until complete removal has been achieved.


That being said, everyone’s skin is different, as is the complexity of their skin (colour, line boldness, shading, and coverage). For this reason, reputable clinics such as NIXX don’t outright quote until the client consultation. The good news is that the consultation is FREE, and there is no commitment to proceed with the service after the consultation.

This question indicates one of two scenarios. The first applies to those who fully intended to get a tattoo, booked an appointment, consulted a tattooist, agreed upon a design, got the tattoo, and ended up with one that did not match what they wanted at all. If this is you, we feel your pain. There are some questionable tattoo shops and artists out there. It’s unfortunate that they didn’t take the time to properly grasp what you wanted, nor to show you the progress in a mirror to ensure the design was on track with what you envisioned.

Everyone knows you must wait at least 3 months before swimming after getting a tattoo. It’s required to protect the integrity of the work. But what about when you’re getting a tattoo removed?

Almost everyone understands that you must wait at least three months to openly expose a new tattoo to the big yellow/orange ball in the sky. And even then, a minimum SPF30 is required to keep it covered, not just in the months leading up to it, but for the remainder of one's life if one truly wants to protect the integrity of their body art.
