Laser Tattoo Removal for Seminole, FL Residents

Why Seminole residents make the trip to 4th Street North

Seminole is a compact city of roughly 19,000 people, and the Seminole mailing addresses (ZIP codes 33772, 33776, 33777 and 33778) stretch well past the city limits into unincorporated west Pinellas. Look for laser tattoo removal around here and most of what turns up is a med spa that lists tattoo removal next to facials and hair removal. EradiTatt works differently. We have done one thing since 2015, which is removing tattoos with a laser.

Here is what that focus means for you as a Seminole client:

• The same clinician every visit. Owner Melissa Hoperich, FNP, a family nurse practitioner, performs the treatments herself.
• A laser that adjusts to the ink. Our PiQo4 combines four wavelengths with both picosecond and nanosecond pulses, so the settings can change for black outlines, colored shading or faded older ink.
• Cooling during treatment. A Zimmer Cryo 6 sends cold air over your skin while the laser fires, which makes the pulses easier to sit through.
• No surprise pricing. Every size tier has a posted price, and your first consultation costs nothing.

Tattoos and cosmetic ink we remove

Clients who drive in from Seminole bring all sorts of ink. Some want a complete removal: a name, a tribal band, a small symbol on the ankle or a larger color piece. Others are working with a tattoo artist and only need the old design lighter, so a cover-up can go on top without the original showing through. We also treat cosmetic tattoos, including eyebrow tattoos, microblading and powder brows.

A few situations mean waiting before we start. We don’t treat during pregnancy, within six months of Accutane, while you take anticoagulants, if you have an autoimmune condition, if the skin is currently tanned, or if you have a strong allergy to tattoo ink. Tell us about any of these at your consultation and we will work out when treatment can begin.

Seminole tattoo removal prices

We price by the size of the tattoo, not by where you live, so a Seminole client pays exactly what a St. Petersburg client pays. A single session ranges from $100 to $600, and booking a pack of four sessions takes 20% off.

Say your tattoo is a bit smaller than a CD. That is a Medium: $300 for one session, or $960 for four, which works out to $240 a visit. Across 8 sessions bought as two 4-packs, that would total $1,920. Treat this as an illustration, not a quote; the number of sessions you need depends on the ink, its colors and depth, and your skin, and we give you our estimate in person.

Two more ways to save: veterans and active-duty military get 15% off, and when someone you refer books with us, you receive a $50 credit. You can also skip the guesswork on size by sending a picture through the tattoo removal photo quote form. Our tattoo removal pricing page explains the size guide in more detail.

Veterans near Bay Pines: the military discount

Seminole borders Bay Pines, home of the Bay Pines VA Medical Center, and many veterans live in and around the city. If you served, the 15% military and veteran discount applies to your sessions, so ask about it when you book. Some veterans come to us to remove unit insignia or older tattoos; others want ink lightened before a new piece. Our article on tattoo removal for military members and veterans goes into common reasons and planning.

How many visits, and how far apart

Expect about 8 to 12 sessions for full removal, booked 6 to 8 weeks apart. Each laser pass breaks ink into smaller particles, and your body clears them gradually between appointments, so rushing the schedule doesn’t help. In practice, full removal often takes more than a year. Fading for a cover-up usually needs fewer visits.

Each appointment is quick: the laser portion generally lasts 5 to 15 minutes. For someone driving in from Seminole, that means a round trip plus a short stop, and only about once every two months.

Getting from Seminole to the St. Petersburg clinic

The route is simple because Park Boulevard does most of the work.

1. From central Seminole or Seminole City Center (Park Blvd and 113th St): head east on Park Boulevard through Pinellas Park. Past I-275, the road continues as Gandy Boulevard.
2. From the Lake Seminole Park area: take Starkey Road or 86th Avenue to Park Boulevard, then follow it east the same way.
3. Last stretch: from Gandy Boulevard, use 94th Avenue North to reach 4th Street North. The clinic is at 9210 4th Street N, Suite A, inside Indulgence Medical Day Spa.

Plan on roughly 20 to 30 minutes each way. Park Boulevard has plenty of traffic lights, and the crossings at US-19 and I-275 slow down at rush hour, so a mid-morning or early-afternoon slot is usually the easier drive. Check live traffic with Google Maps directions from Seminole.

Planning around beach days and Lake Seminole

Seminole is a short drive from Madeira Beach and Indian Rocks Beach, and Lake Seminole Park and the Waterfront Park boardwalk and kayak launch keep people outdoors year-round. That lifestyle is fine during treatment, as long as you protect the tattoo:

• Keep the tattoo untanned for at least four weeks before each session. Tanned skin means we reschedule.
• Take 24 hours off from exercise after a session.
• Keep the treated area covered for 2 to 3 days while it calms down.
• Between visits, use clothing or sunscreen whenever the tattoo would be in the sun.

Wondering when you can get back in the Gulf or a pool? Read can you swim after tattoo removal. Other first-visit questions are answered on our FAQ page.

Another clinic if you work across the bay

The St. Petersburg clinic is the closest EradiTatt location for Seminole. If you commute to Tampa, though, the Tampa clinic on Westshore Boulevard can fit an after-work appointment. Treatment and pricing are identical at both. To ask about availability, reach us through the contact page or call the St. Pete office.
