INK WIZARD TATTOO & BODY PIERCING
Non-Laser Tattoo Removal in California, Maryland
Are you looking for “tattoo removal near me?” Ink Wizard Tattoo is owned by tattoo artist, John Hudson. His daughter, Jessica, is Ink Wizard’s certified Tatt2Away® technician.
Why did you get Tatt2Away? We wanted to expand our services for the ever-changing industry. We had a lot of inquiries for tattoo removal, and after doing extensive research, we concluded that Tatt2Away was the best removal method. We were really impressed that it’s completely color-blind and all-natural!
What advantages has it given you as a shop? Tatt2Away has given our shop a major advantage in that not many shops do tattoo removal. Before we began Tatt2Away, clients had to travel to major cities! They love that they can get treatments so close to home. Another large advantage is rather than turning an impossible cover-up away, we can offer a partial or full removal, then a brand new tattoo in the area!
What advantages does it give your clients? Clients are at a huge advantage. They can feel comfortable that a certified technician with a history of how skin works is doing the removal. Instead of traveling for removals, they can come close to home rather than losing money by taking off work. Another large advantage is their many options. When they come to us with a cover-up or a problem tattoo, we have 2 options – removal or cover-up – compared to one option like most shops!
Why offer Tatt2Away instead of laser? When doing our extensive research, we saw a lot of negative reviews on laser. Also being in the tattoo field for over 25 years has taught us that laser typically doesn’t work well for most. We looked into how laser affects the body simply because if it’s not removing the ink through the surface, where is that ink going? Finding the ink is zapped through your kidney, lymph nodes, liver, and blood stream was very unappealing. We did not feel comfortable doing that to our clients. Tatt2away was a huge win for us. We loved everything about it as soon as we found it!
Why would someone want to come to you for a Tatt2Away treatment, especially if they’ve never heard of Tatt2Away? Clients are attracted to the Tatt2away process, because their tattoo will be gone. Once people hear the facts on laser removal, it turns them off completely. Tatt2away is very naturally appealing to clients. They see our confidence in the company, and that confidence pulls them in.
How does it help with coverups? Partial removals are a huge hit! People coming in for a near impossible or ugly cover-up, partials are for them! They love to hear that we can give them a better cover-up by simply just removing some of their existing tattoo. Partial removals bring more business and make for a much better cover-up!
Why do people come to Ink Wizard for tattoos? Clients come to Ink Wizard for the family environment. We are a large family; we work well together and always help each other improve. We’ve been the longest running tattoo shop in southern Maryland, for 25 years! We welcome our customers and always try our hardest to make them happy whether it be with piercings, tattoos, tattoo removal or even microblading! People are also fans of the fact that we focus on remaining updated rather than out of date!

Tatt2Away’s FAQ’s
Results become noticeable as your skin heals and the scabs form and fall off, which typically takes 2-4 weeks after each session. As you progress through your treatment plan, more and more ink is removed, and after your last session, the entire tattoo will have been treated and completely removed– no more ink will remain!
Yes, Tatt2Away is versatile and can be used to remove specific parts of a tattoo or modify an existing design. If you’re looking to change a portion of your tattoo or prepare for a cover-up, Tatt2Away can help you achieve the desired results.
Tatt2Away can be used to remove certain types of cosmetic tattoos. However, the treatment may not be suitable for all permanent makeup applications, particularly those close to sensitive areas like the eyes. Consult with a certified Tatt2Away technician to determine if the procedure is appropriate for your specific cosmetic tattoo.
There is minimal downtime associated with Tatt2Away treatments. Most clients can return to their daily activities shortly after the procedure. However, it is essential to follow your technician’s aftercare instructions and avoid activities that could irritate the treated area or disrupt the healing process, such as swimming or excessive sun exposure.
Once the treated area has fully healed and your Tatt2Away technician confirms that the removal process is complete, you can get a new tattoo over the treated area. It is essential to allow enough time for your skin to heal properly to ensure the best possible results for your new tattoo.
We typically advise artists to wait 4-6 months after their final Tatt2Away session, depending on your skin and your body’s healing response. Wounds heal from the bottom up and the outside in. The new tissue gradually covers the area, causing the scab to drop off. There are several stages every wound must go through in the proper sequence and time frame to heal optimally: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, maturation, and remodeling. One of the most important stages in the Tatt2Away process is epidermal maturation; the epidermis is considered mature when it resumes its normal barrier functionality and signs of inflammation (redness) vanish. Aside from aftercare compliance, factors that affect these stages, and thus individual healing and the time frame prior to getting a new tattoo, include: age; overall health; drug, alcohol, and tobacco use; nutrition; and stress. Your Tatt2Away technician knows skin and healing, as well as how to assess when you’ve healed sufficiently for the artist to begin your Tatt2Revise. At each stage of the treatment process, the technician will be assessing the healing progress.
The minimum time between each treatment is 8 weeks and increases 2 weeks with every treatment, assuming your healing is progressing optimally. Compliance with Tatt2Away’s aftercare program, and your overall health and habits, will affect both your healing and the actual time between treatments.Tatt2Away technicians are experts both in the Tatt2Away process and in working with skin, and will advise you specifically based on your tattoo, its size, and the treatment plan. Additionally, they’ll monitor the healing process as treatments progress. Any sign of inflammation extends the time frame between treatments to ensure proper healing.
Tatt2Away is effective on all skin colors. While very dark or very light skin tends to be more sensitive regardless of procedure or reason for the wound, Tatt2Away does not adversely affect your skin based on color like other treatments treatments can. More important is your overall health and skin condition, as well as your ability and willingness to comply with the aftercare procedures. Lack of compliance may compromise the results regardless of skin color or skin sensitivity.
You can request a limited test treatment of one or more tegulae (dots) during the initial consultation. The cost of a test treatment is determined by the individual studios and is generally not included in a free consult, as a sterile treatment kit will need to be used even for a small test. Some studios may deduct part of the cost of the test from your first session. In addition, all Tatt2Away technicians are experienced in assessing people’s skin types, health, and healing ability, all of which affect a person’s outcome. Individual policies may vary from location to location.
Just like with tattooing, the best way to ensure optimal healing is to impress upon the client the importance of following the specific aftercare procedure. Due to its similarity to tattooing, Tatt2Away shares some of the same risks to the skin. This includes the extreme importance of avoiding contaminants and infection risks as well as direct sunlight exposure during healing. Just like with tattooing, if a client’s skin is prone to keloiding, it is possible for a keloid scar to develop. Failure to adhere strictly to all aftercare procedures can increase these risks. Tatt2Away technicians are trained to look for possible complications, including failure to comply with aftercare, and refuse treatment or refer a client to a dermatologist. Tatt2Away is effective on all skin color. Skin that is very light or very dark tends to be more sensitive to treatments and may take longer for pigment to return to normal after treatment. Tatt2Away does not adversely affect darker skin color like laser removal can. More important is the client’s overall health and skin condition, as well as their ability to follow directions. Lack of compliance with aftercare may compromise the results regardless of skin color or skin sensitivity. You can suggest a limited test treatment of one or more tegulae (dots) during the initial consultation. The cost of a test treatment is determined by the individual studios and is generally not included in a free consult, as a sterile treatment kit will need to be used even for a small test.
TEPRSOL® is the proprietary and patented solution used in Tatt2Away treatments. All ingredients in TEPRSOL® are natural biological substances commonly found in both plants and animals. The production of TEPRSOL® meets vegan standards, meaning the ingredients are developed from plant material rather than animal sources.Because TEPRSOL® is a proprietary component of the Tatt2Away process, its specific formula is never publicly disclosed. Our labeling is compliant with regulatory standards and lists the ingredients as “USP Distilled Water, Proprietary L40 Lactic Compound.” All TEPRSOL® components are small molecules, which in general are not allergenic. None are peptides, which are the typical molecules that induce allergic reactions. Although it is remotely conceivable that some persons may develop sensitivities or may react negatively to TEPRSOL® usage, no such reaction has been reported and authenticated in over 10,000 treatments.
Tatt2Away relies on your body’s natural healing response. So, in turn, the healthier you are the quicker and easier removal will be. Some factors that affect removal include age, immune health, tobacco use, alcohol consumption, nutrition, and even stress levels.
Of course! Tatt2Away does not disrupt hair follicles or hair growth once healed.
To be as safe as possible, we do not allow women who are pregnant or breastfeeding to receive treatment. There is no information to support this procedure would be harmful to the mother or child, but we aren’t going to risk it!
Tatt2Away tailor fits your treatment plan to you. Your technician will ensure that you are receiving effective and safe treatments, so be open and honest with them about any medical conditions prior to receiving treatment.
What Our Customers Had to Say
“I had an amazing experience with Jazz this morning. Super sanitary and clean environment. One of a kind energy and is super fun to be around. Does amazing work, would highly recommend!”
“Jazz was sensational! She is excellent at her craft, and it’s comforting to know she has a nursing background. She numbed my arm very well so I didn’t feel much pain at all! Jazz also has cool taste in music, her office has a chill vibe and she was able to get the job done effectively while having lighthearted conversations the entire time. Tattoo removals don’t sound like a fun experience, but if Jazz is doing the job, I know I can look forward to my next treatment. Jazz rocks!”
“Jazz is very professional and she makes sure you understand how everything works. My tattoo has left a lot of scar tissue and was also very deep. A lot of my tattoo has been removed and my scar tissue is also not as bad as it was which is very surprising. It’s flattened out a lot. I’m very happy with the results I’m getting. So thank you jazz.”
“This process is amazing and I love how safe it is! I’m so glad Tatt2Away provides a safe and nontoxic way of removing unwanted tattoos! Jazz was incredible and so knowledgeable! I can’t recommend Tatt2Away enough!”
