FOR TATTOO STUDIOS

Stop sending clients
out the door.

Kanva is tattoo removal without a laser, done by the tattoo artist in their own chair. It feels like tattooing, so you can fade old work and cover it up in the same studio.

Four stages on the same arm: an old phoenix tattoo, the tattoo fading during treatment, clean healed skin, and a new peony cover-up.
  1. 1The old piece

    A tattoo your client wants gone or changed.

  2. 2Treat in your chair

    You do the removal yourself, in a way that feels like tattooing.

  3. 3Heal

    The skin heals much like a fresh tattoo.

  4. 4The cover-up

    The new design goes in, in your studio.

Right now, regret is someone else's revenue.

Laser clinics don't tattoo. Tattoo studios don't remove. The client who wants old work gone or changed falls into the gap between the two, and so does the cover-up you would have booked.

THE GAP

Two ways that conversation can go.

A client asks about an old piece. What happens next depends on whether you can offer removal.

Without removal in your studio

  1. A client asks about old work they want gone.
  2. You can't help, so you point them down the street.
  3. They start a removal course at a clinic.
  4. Your cover-up never gets booked.

With Kanva in your chair

  1. A client asks about old work they want gone.
  2. You assess the piece and plan the treatment.
  3. You remove it yourself, then let the skin heal.
  4. You re-ink the new design. Same artist, same studio.
HOW IT WORKS

Removal that fits the way you already work.

Kanva builds on skills you already have. If you can tattoo, the treatment will feel familiar.

Look at the piece

Check the old tattoo and plan the treatment.

Let it heal, then re-ink
