Whether it’s a tiny wrist design or a full sleeve, tattoos are a bold form of self-expression and these days, they’re more popular than ever. But as life changes, so do our tastes. Maybe your tattoo didn’t turn out as expected, no longer reflects your lifestyle, or (let’s be honest) it features the name of someone you’d rather forget.
That’s where Caddell’s Laser Clinic Can Help!
At Caddell’s Laser Clinic in Bellevue, we specialize in professional tattoo removal and laser tattoo lightening services. Our skilled technicians use advanced laser technology to help you fade, lighten, or completely remove unwanted tattoos, safely and effectively.
Complete Tattoo Removal: When It’s Time for a Fresh Start
If you’re preparing for a new job, making a lifestyle change, or simply ready to clear the canvas, full tattoo removal might be your best option. Every treatment plan starts with a personalized consultation, where we assess the tattoo’s size, ink colors, and depth to estimate how many sessions you’ll need.
Caddell’s uses 2 lasers for tattoo removal. The Lumenis PiQo4 laser has both nano second Q-switch wavelength and Pico wavelength. This allows us to treat very dark, deep tattoos as well as lighter tattoos. We have 4 wavelengths that target most colors.
We also have the Candela PicoWay laser. It uses a pico second wavelength and also has 3 different wavelengths that go after different colors. The PicoWay is known for removing green ink better than other lasers.
When tattoos are challenging, we use the Fractional Co2 laser to help break up the ink. This laser causes micro-columns of wound on the surface of the skin.
It is very difficult to predict how many treatments it will take to remove a tattoo. It ranges from 10-30 ish! The closer to the heart, the faster the ink lifts. Shading lifts very quickly. Tribal tattoos are the hardest to remove. The good news is that while it may take longer to remove, the newer lasers don’t compromise the skin like the old ones did. It is very rare to see scar tissue.

Laser Tattoo Lightening: Prep for a Cover-Up
Planning a cover-up with your tattoo artist? Tattoo lightening is a cost-effective and faster alternative to full removal. By fading your existing ink, we create the ideal canvas for your new design—giving your artist more creative freedom and better results.
We have artists from Tri-cities, Bellingham, Olympia, and many in the Seattle area who send clients to us for lightening tattoos before getting a cover.
Tattoo lightening typically requires fewer sessions and less downtime, making it an excellent option for those who want to reinvent their ink.
Need a specific area faded or removed? Our precision lasers can target portions of a tattoo without affecting surrounding designs—perfect for detailed work or partial edits.
