"A cover-up over dark ink forces your artist into dark designs. Fade the old tattoo first, and suddenly every design becomes possible."
Tattoo fading in Bengaluru at Dermis 365 lightens an existing tattoo with laser sessions so a new cover-up tattoo can go over it cleanly. Here is the difference from full removal: fading does not aim to erase the ink completely. It only needs to lighten the old design enough for your artist to work freely. So fading typically takes far fewer sessions than removal — often two to four instead of eight or more — and costs correspondingly less.
Why fade at all before a cover-up? Because new ink over dark old ink forces compromises — bigger, darker, denser designs chosen to hide rather than to please. Lighten the base, and your artist gains colour choices, finer lines and smaller designs. However, honesty stands here as everywhere: how much any tattoo lightens depends on its ink, depth, colours and your skin, and no clinic can guarantee a specific fade. Your Doctor at our Kanakapura Main Road clinic assesses your tattoo and gives you a realistic session estimate before you commit.

Your Doctor selects the protocol after assessment at our Bengaluru clinic.
Laser pulses shatter ink particles into fragments your body clears between sessions. Each session lightens the design a step further.
Two to four sessions usually create a workable canvas — your artist tells us when it is light enough.
Sometimes only part of a tattoo needs lightening — a name inside artwork, one dense corner. We fade precisely that zone.
Your new design keeps what you love and loses what you do not.
Bring your artist’s cover-up concept, and we fade toward exactly the lightness it needs — no more sessions than necessary.
Clinic and artist working to the same brief saves you money.
Three facts that explain how it works — especially on Indian skin.
Ultra-short laser pulses hit ink particles harder than the surrounding skin, shattering them into fragments small enough for your immune system to carry away. Each session repeats the process on what remains.
Removal chases every last particle — the slowest part of the job. Fading stops at ‘light enough to work over’, skipping those final stubborn sessions entirely. That is where the savings come from.
Black ink absorbs laser energy best and fades fastest. Greens and light blues resist more. Your tattoo’s colours, depth and age shape the honest session estimate we give you.
Every plan begins with understanding your skin — not selling to it.

It is laser lightening of an existing tattoo — not full erasure — so a cover-up tattoo can go over it cleanly. Because it stops at ‘light enough’, it takes far fewer sessions than complete removal, usually two to four.
Removal chases every ink particle until the tattoo is gone, often eight or more sessions. Fading stops once your artist has a workable canvas. Same laser, shorter journey, lower cost — and a new tattoo at the end.
Most cover-up preps need two to four sessions, six to eight weeks apart. Dense black work fades fastest; greens and light blues resist longer. Your Doctor examines the ink and gives an honest estimate first.
It feels like sharp elastic snaps with heat — brief but real. We use numbing cream and cooling, and sessions over small tattoos finish in minutes. Redness and light crusting settle within days.
No, and no honest clinic can. Ink type, depth, colours and your own clearance all shape the result. What we guarantee instead is honest assessment, careful technique and coordination with your artist. Results vary.
Not always — skilled artists cover lighter tattoos directly. But over dark, dense ink, fading transforms what your artist can do: more colours, finer detail, smaller designs. Ask your artist; many now request pre-fading themselves.
