By the EradiTatt team · Laser tattoo removal specialists in Tampa Bay and Orlando since 2015
Short answer: Pinellas Park residents are treated at EradiTatt St. Petersburg, 9210 4th Street N, Suite A, inside Indulgence Medical Day Spa in north St. Pete. From central Pinellas Park it’s usually a drive of about 15 to 20 minutes east on Park Boulevard or Gandy Boulevard. A session costs $100 to $600, depending only on the size of the tattoo, and a 4-session pack saves 20%. Most people need 8 to 12 sessions spaced 6 to 8 weeks apart for full removal, and fewer if the goal is fading for a cover-up. The consultation is free, and the laser part of each appointment usually takes 5 to 15 minutes. Questions? Call the St. Pete clinic at (727) 551-4451.

Pinellas Park sits right in the middle of Pinellas County, wedged between St. Petersburg, Largo, Seminole and Kenneth City. Most people know it by its roads: Park Boulevard, US-19, 49th Street, 66th Street, Ulmerton Road and the stretch of I-275 that runs along the east side of town. It’s a working city, with a lot of people commuting to jobs in the Gateway business district, downtown St. Pete, Clearwater and across the bay in Tampa. It also has a large community of veterans and military families, thanks in part to Bay Pines VA close by in Seminole and MacDill Air Force Base just across the water.
That mix means plenty of Pinellas Park residents have a tattoo they’d rather not have anymore: a name, a design from their twenties, a piece that blurred over the years, a visible tattoo that doesn’t fit a new job, or brows that healed darker than planned. If you search for tattoo removal from a Pinellas Park address, you’ll mostly find short clinic home pages and med spa menus where removal is one item among Botox, facials and hair removal. Few of them list prices, and none we found explain how many sessions to budget for or how to fit treatment around Florida sun. This guide fills those gaps. It covers who treats you, what removal costs by size, how many sessions to plan for, what to do (and avoid) before and after each visit, and the easiest routes from Pinellas Park to our St. Pete clinic.
Is there a tattoo removal clinic near Pinellas Park?
EradiTatt doesn’t have an office inside Pinellas Park city limits. Pinellas Park clients come to our St. Petersburg clinic at 9210 4th Street N, Suite A, St. Petersburg, FL 33702. It’s inside Indulgence Medical Day Spa in north St. Pete, just south of Gandy Boulevard, so treatments happen in a quiet private room rather than a busy storefront. The clinic is open Monday through Friday from 10 AM to 6 PM and Saturday from 10 AM to 3 PM, and you can reach it directly at (727) 551-4451.
Why drive 15 or 20 minutes when a med spa may be around the corner? Because laser tattoo removal is a specialty in its own right. Results depend on the laser, the settings chosen for your ink and skin, and the judgment of the person holding the handpiece. EradiTatt has done one thing since 2015: laser tattoo removal. We don’t sell facials, injectables or hair removal on the side. Every consultation, every visit and every treatment plan is about getting ink out of skin safely.
Pinellas Park also happens to be one of the best-placed cities in the county for choice. The St. Pete clinic is the closest for most of town. If you live or work in the far north end near Ulmerton Road or Largo, our Palm Harbor clinic on Tampa Road is another option, about 30 to 35 minutes up US-19. If you commute to Tampa, our Westshore clinic in Tampa is roughly 25 to 30 minutes over the Gandy Bridge or the Howard Frankland, and it can be easier to book a session near your office. Your price and treatment plan are the same at every location.
Who performs tattoo removal at the St. Pete clinic?
Treatments are performed by owner Melissa Hoperich, FNP, a family nurse practitioner. The person who looks at your tattoo during the consultation is the same person who plans your settings and treats you. You aren’t handed off to a different technician every visit, so your progress is followed by someone who has seen every session.
Erica, our administrative technician, handles scheduling, paperwork and appointment reminders, and she helps with cooling and bandaging during your visit. Between the two of them, the St. Pete team is small and consistent, which is exactly what you want for a treatment that runs over many months. You can see real results from our clients on the results and reviews page.
The equipment
We use the PiQo4, a laser with four wavelengths that can fire in both picosecond and nanosecond pulses. Different wavelengths target different ink colors, and the two pulse types let us adjust treatment for dense black ink, lighter colors and stubborn layered tattoos. If you want to understand how it compares with other lasers on the market, read our comparison of PiQo4 vs PicoSure vs PicoWay.
During treatment, the Zimmer Cryo 6 blows very cold air over your skin. It numbs the area before and during each pass, so most people describe the feeling as a quick snap rather than a burn. If you’re worried about discomfort, our post on tattoo removal numbing cream explains how cold air and topical numbing compare.
How much does tattoo removal cost for Pinellas Park residents?
The price is set by the size of the tattoo, not by how much ink is in it or how many colors it has. That’s the same rate at every EradiTatt clinic, so you won’t pay more in St. Pete than in Tampa or Palm Harbor. Here’s the full price list:
| Size | About the size of | Per session | 4-session pack (20% off) |
|---|---|---|---|
| XX-Small | Smaller than a quarter | $100 | $320 |
| X-Small | Smaller than a credit card | $175 | $560 |
| Small | Smaller than a dollar bill | $225 | $720 |
| Medium | Smaller than a CD | $300 | $960 |
| Large | Smaller than a DVD case | $400 | $1,280 |
| X-Large | Up to a sheet of paper | $600 | $1,920 |
Not sure which size you are? Hold a quarter, a credit card or a dollar bill next to the tattoo. For a firm answer, send us a picture through the tattoo removal photo quote form and we’ll size it and estimate your sessions. The full breakdown, including how sizing works on curved areas like the wrist or ankle, is on our laser tattoo removal cost page.
What a full plan might cost
Because most tattoos take several sessions, it helps to think in terms of a whole plan rather than a single visit. The table below shows what 8 or 12 sessions would cost if you bought them as 4-session packs. These are planning numbers only; your actual session count depends on your tattoo and how your skin responds.
| Size | 8 sessions (two 4-packs) | 12 sessions (three 4-packs) | 12 sessions at single-session rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| XX-Small | $640 | $960 | $1,200 |
| X-Small | $1,120 | $1,680 | $2,100 |
| Small | $1,440 | $2,160 | $2,700 |
| Medium | $1,920 | $2,880 | $3,600 |
| Large | $2,560 | $3,840 | $4,800 |
| X-Large | $3,840 | $5,760 | $7,200 |
A few ways to bring the total down:
- Military and veterans save 15%. With so many veterans living in and around Pinellas Park, this is one of the most common discounts we apply. Our guide to tattoo removal for military members covers visible-tattoo rules and timelines.
- Refer a friend for a $50 credit. If a coworker or family member has been talking about removing a tattoo too, you both benefit.
- Fade instead of remove. If you plan to cover the tattoo with new work, fading usually takes fewer sessions than full removal. See tattoo removal vs cover-up for how to decide.

How many sessions do you need for laser tattoo removal?
This is one of the most searched questions in Pinellas Park, and the honest answer is that it depends. Most of our clients need 8 to 12 sessions for full removal, spaced 6 to 8 weeks apart. That spacing isn’t arbitrary. The laser breaks ink into tiny particles, and your immune system then carries those particles away over the following weeks. Coming back too soon doesn’t speed that up; it just treats skin that hasn’t finished clearing and raises the risk of irritation.
At 6 to 8 weeks per session, full removal of a typical tattoo takes about a year to a year and a half. Fading for a cover-up can be much quicker. The factors below explain why two tattoos of the same size can take very different numbers of visits.
| Factor | Tends to need fewer sessions | Tends to need more sessions |
|---|---|---|
| Ink density | Thin linework, light shading | Solid fill, heavy black packing |
| Tattoo type | Older, already faded work | Newer professional work, cover-ups, touch-ups |
| Colors | Black and dark blue | Some greens, light blues and bright colors |
| Location on body | Areas closer to the heart (chest, upper arm, neck) | Hands, ankles and feet |
| Goal | Fading for a cover-up | Complete removal |
| Aftercare and sun | Area kept covered and untanned | Tans between visits, which can delay sessions |
Layered tattoos are a good example. If your tattoo was touched up, reworked or already covered once, there’s more ink in the skin, and it usually takes longer. Our post on whether you can remove a cover-up tattoo explains why. Color matters too; see our guide to removing colored tattoos for how different inks respond. For a deeper look at timelines, read how long tattoo removal takes in St. Petersburg.
At your free consultation, Melissa will look at the tattoo in person and give you an honest estimate. It’s a range, not a promise, because everyone’s skin and immune system clears ink at a slightly different pace. We’ll check progress at every visit and tell you if the plan needs to change.
What not to do before laser tattoo removal
“What not to do before laser tattoo removal” is another question Pinellas Park searchers ask often, and it’s a good one. A few simple steps before each visit make treatment safer and help us keep you on schedule.
- Don’t tan the area for at least 4 weeks. That includes the beach, the pool deck, the boat and tanning beds. Tanned skin has extra pigment that competes with the ink, which raises the risk of side effects. If the area is tanned, we’ll reschedule rather than treat.
- Don’t start Accutane without telling us. We wait at least six months after Accutane before treating.
- Don’t skip telling us about medications or health changes. Anticoagulants, autoimmune conditions and pregnancy all mean we’ll wait. Mention any new prescriptions at check-in.
- Don’t come in with irritated skin. If the area is sunburned, scratched or still healing from the last session, let us know before your appointment.
- Don’t plan a hard workout right after. You’ll need to skip exercise for 24 hours after treatment, so book around your gym schedule or league games.
On the day itself, wear loose clothing that’s easy to move away from the tattoo and won’t rub against a bandage afterward. Our tattoo removal preparation checklist has the full list, and the laser tattoo removal process page walks through each stage of a visit.
What helps tattoo removal work better?
Your body does most of the work between sessions. The laser shatters the ink; your immune system carries it away. You can’t force that process, but you can avoid slowing it down.
The first few days after a session
- Keep the area covered for 2 to 3 days. A clean bandage protects the skin while it settles.
- Skip exercise for 24 hours. Heat, sweat and friction can irritate freshly treated skin.
- Don’t pick or scratch. Some redness, swelling, pinpoint bleeding or light scabbing can happen. Let it heal on its own. Our guide to laser tattoo removal scabs explains what’s normal.
- Stay out of pools and the Gulf until the skin has closed. Read how long to wait before swimming after tattoo removal before your next beach day.
Between sessions
- Protect the area from the sun. Clothing works best; sunscreen is a backup once the skin has healed. Our post on sun after tattoo removal has a practical timeline.
- Keep the spacing. Booking sessions closer than 6 to 8 weeks apart doesn’t make the ink leave faster.
- Look after your general health. Staying hydrated, sleeping well and not smoking all support normal healing. Our article on how to make laser tattoo removal more effective goes into detail.
The complete aftercare routine is in our laser tattoo aftercare instructions. If anything looks unusual, such as spreading redness, increasing pain or warmth after the first couple of days, call the clinic.
Getting from Pinellas Park to the St. Pete clinic
The St. Pete clinic sits on 4th Street North, just south of Gandy Boulevard and a short hop from I-275. From almost anywhere in Pinellas Park, the trip is a straight run east.
- Central Pinellas Park (Park Blvd and 66th St N, around city hall and England Brothers Park): head east on Park Boulevard across US-19 and I-275, where it becomes Gandy Boulevard. Turn south on 4th Street N, or use 94th Avenue N as a cut-through to 4th Street. Plan on about 15 to 20 minutes.
- South Pinellas Park and the 49th Street corridor: take 54th Avenue N east toward I-275 and 4th Street N, then head north to the clinic. Usually about 15 minutes.
- North Pinellas Park (Bryan Dairy Rd and Ulmerton Rd area): take US-19 or 49th Street south to Park Boulevard, then follow it east. Or hop on I-275 south and exit toward Gandy Boulevard. Expect about 20 to 25 minutes.
- Kenneth City and the Tyrone area: 54th Avenue N east is the simplest route, then north on 4th Street N.
Park Boulevard has a lot of traffic lights, and the crossings at US-19 and I-275 get backed up at rush hour. A mid-morning, early-afternoon or Saturday appointment is usually the easiest drive. Because each laser session only takes 5 to 15 minutes, many clients who work in the Gateway area fit their visit into a long lunch.

Tattoo removal and the Pinellas Park lifestyle
Beaches, boats and ball fields
Pinellas Park is about 20 to 25 minutes from Madeira Beach, Indian Rocks Beach and Treasure Island. Add Freedom Lake Park, the ball fields at England Brothers Park, the boat ramps and the fishing spots up and down the county, and most residents spend a lot of time outside. None of that has to stop during tattoo removal, but the tattoo needs protection. Sun exposure before a session can mean a postponed appointment, and sun on freshly treated skin raises the risk of pigment changes. Long sleeves, rash guards and a bandage over the area go a long way.
Many of our Tampa Bay clients plan their heavier treatment months for the cooler, cloudier part of the year, when it’s easier to keep skin covered. Our post on the best time of year to get a tattoo removed in Tampa Bay lays out a month-by-month plan.
Work, uniforms and visible tattoos
Pinellas Park sits next to some of the biggest employment areas in the county, including the Gateway business district, hospitals and medical offices, schools and public safety departments. Some jobs have rules about visible tattoos on the hands, neck or face, and some people simply want a cleaner look before an interview or promotion. If you have a deadline, tell us at your consultation. We can’t promise a tattoo will be gone by a certain date, but we can tell you realistically how light it’s likely to be and whether fading plus a long sleeve will get you there.
Veterans and military families
Between Bay Pines VA in Seminole and MacDill Air Force Base across the bay, Pinellas Park is home to many veterans, active-duty members and their families. All of them get 15% off at EradiTatt. Bring your military or veteran ID to your consultation.
What tattoos can we remove?
We treat:
- Black and color body tattoos, from tiny symbols and script to full pieces on the arm, back, chest and legs.
- Fading for cover-ups. If you’re working with a tattoo artist on new work, we can lighten the old tattoo so the new design has a cleaner base. Our tattoo cover-up guide explains how to coordinate with your artist.
- Cosmetic brow tattoos, including microblading, powder brows and traditional eyebrow tattoos. See the eyebrow tattoo removal healing process for what to expect day by day.
Small tattoos are some of the most common requests we get. Our small tattoo removal guide covers how pricing and session counts work for them.
Who should wait before laser tattoo removal?
For your safety, we won’t treat if any of these apply:
- You’re pregnant.
- You’ve taken Accutane in the past six months.
- You take anticoagulants (blood thinners).
- You have an autoimmune condition.
- The area has a recent tan.
- You have a strong allergy to tattoo ink.
If you aren’t sure whether something on this list applies to you, call before you book. Some situations simply mean waiting a few months; others need a conversation with your doctor first. Our page on laser tattoo removal risks covers side effects and how to lower them, and does tattoo removal leave scars answers the most common worry we hear.
How to choose a tattoo removal clinic near Pinellas Park
You have options in and around Pinellas Park, and it’s worth comparing them. Here are the questions we’d ask any clinic, including ours:
- Is tattoo removal the main thing you do? A clinic that only removes tattoos sees far more of them than one that does it occasionally between other services.
- Who will treat me, and will it be the same person each time? Consistency helps your provider track how your skin and ink are responding.
- What laser do you use, and can it treat my colors? Multi-wavelength lasers can treat a wider range of inks.
- How is pricing set? Ask for a written price by size, and whether packages are available.
- Will you tell me if my tattoo is a poor fit for removal? An honest consultation sometimes means hearing that fading is a better goal than full removal.
- Can I see real before-and-after photos? Look for results from actual clients, not stock images.
Our article on tattoo removal qualifications explains what training to look for, and how to read tattoo removal reviews helps you separate useful reviews from noise.
Can you buy a tattoo removal laser and do it at home?
This question shows up in local searches too. Devices marketed online for home tattoo removal are not the same as clinical picosecond and nanosecond lasers, and using a laser on your own skin without training carries real risks, including burns, scarring and pigment changes that can be harder to fix than the tattoo itself. Removal creams have their own problems; our post on whether tattoo removal creams work explains why. A free consultation costs nothing and tells you exactly what professional treatment would involve.
