Oldsmar, FL Laser Tattoo Removal, Just West on Tampa Road

Oldsmar sits between two of our clinics

Oldsmar is at the top of Old Tampa Bay, right where Pinellas County meets Hillsborough. That position gives you a choice. Palm Harbor is the short hop: one road, no highway, no tolls. Our Tampa clinic on N Westshore Blvd is the other option, about 12 miles away by Hillsborough Avenue and the Veterans Expressway, which usually means 25 to 40 minutes once traffic near the airport is factored in.

Most Oldsmar clients pick Palm Harbor because it is closer to home. If you commute toward Westshore or the airport for work, booking in Tampa on a workday can make more sense. Both clinics charge the same prices and use the same laser, and you can switch between them if your schedule changes.

How a tattoo removal clinic differs from a med spa

Look up tattoo removal in Oldsmar and the results lean toward businesses that do something else first. Several are laser hair removal studios or medical spas along Tampa Road built around injectables, facials and body contouring. The page that ranks at the top describes a non-laser method and sends people to an office in Clearwater. None of them posts a price list for laser removal.

EradiTatt works differently:

• We only remove tattoos. The company has focused on laser tattoo removal since 2015 and offers no other services, so there is nothing else to sell you during an appointment.
• One trained clinician. Treatments are performed by owner Melissa Hoperich, FNP, a family nurse practitioner who assesses your ink, sets the plan and follows your fading from visit to visit.
• A multi-wavelength laser. The PiQo4 has four wavelengths and can fire in picosecond or nanosecond pulses. That lets the settings match black ink, bright colors or an old, faded tattoo instead of treating everything the same way.
• Cooling for comfort. A Zimmer Cryo 6 directs a stream of cold air over the skin during each pass, which makes the sensation easier to handle.
• Prices you can check now. They are listed below, by tattoo size.

Ink we can remove or lighten

We work on black and color body tattoos of nearly any size, from initials on a finger to a full back piece. Many clients are not after total removal. They want an old design faded so a tattoo artist can put something new over it, and that typically takes fewer visits. Our article on whether a cover-up tattoo can be removed is useful if you already have a cover-up you regret.

Cosmetic tattooing is on the list too: microblading, powder brows and older eyebrow tattoos that have shifted color or no longer fit your face.

Some health factors mean waiting before treatment. These include pregnancy, Accutane use in the last six months, blood-thinning medication, autoimmune conditions, a fresh tan over the tattoo, and a known severe reaction to tattoo ink. Tell us about any of them when you book so we can plan around it.

Laser tattoo removal prices for Oldsmar residents

Pricing is set by tattoo size, not by which clinic you visit or which town you live in. Single sessions cost $100 to $600, and a package of four sessions saves 20%.

A few quick reference points: a small symbol behind the ear that is smaller than a quarter is XX-Small at $100 a session. A forearm quote roughly the size of a dollar bill is Small, at $225 a session or $720 for a four-pack. A shoulder blade piece close to the size of a DVD case is Large, at $400 per session or $1,280 for four. Your total depends on how many sessions the ink needs, and that is something we estimate in person at your free consultation.

Active-duty service members and veterans receive 15% off, and every friend you refer who books earns you a $50 credit. If you want a size check before you visit, send a picture through our photo quote page. Each tier is explained on the cost of laser tattoo removal page.

Sessions, spacing and how long it all takes

Full removal usually takes 8 to 12 sessions. We space them 6 to 8 weeks apart because the laser only shatters the pigment; your lymphatic system then carries those fragments away over the next several weeks, and the skin needs that time to recover. Expect the full course to run a year or longer.

Living this close to Palm Harbor helps. Time in the chair is usually 5 to 15 minutes, so with a short drive each way a visit can fit into a lunch break or the end of a workday. Our process page walks through what happens at an appointment, and the results and reviews page shows how other clients’ tattoos faded over a series of sessions.

Directions from Oldsmar to 3343 Tampa Road

Tampa Road is Oldsmar’s main commercial street, and it carries you all the way to the clinic:

1. Get onto Tampa Road heading west. From downtown and State Street, from the neighborhoods off Forest Lakes Boulevard, or from the shopping centers near the Oldsmar Sports Complex, any route that reaches Tampa Road westbound works.
2. Stay on Tampa Road as it passes the East Lake Road and McMullen-Booth Road intersection and continues toward Palm Harbor.
3. Look for 3343 Tampa Road shortly before you reach US-19. If you reach the US-19 interchange, you have gone a little too far.

The trip is about 5 miles from Oldsmar’s center. Traffic is heaviest during weekday rush hours, when the signals on Tampa Road back up, so allow 20 minutes then. For live conditions, open Google Maps directions from Oldsmar to the clinic before you leave.

Parks, the bay and the sun between sessions

Oldsmar takes its name from Ransom E. Olds, the automaker behind Oldsmobile, who developed the town in the 1910s. Today the city sets aside a large share of its land for parks, preserves and trails. On any given weekend that means time at R.E. Olds Park on the bay, a youth game at the sports complex, or a walk at nearby Brooker Creek Preserve. Sunshine is the one thing laser treatment doesn’t mix with, so here is how to plan:

• No sun or tanning on the tattoo for at least 4 weeks before each session. Darker skin over the ink means we may need to reschedule. On long days outdoors, keep the spot under clothing or a covering.
• Take 24 hours off from workouts after treatment, including runs on the trails and pickup games.
• Cover the area for 2 to 3 days afterward, then keep protecting it from the sun as it heals.
