Our Q-Switched laser generates a high-powered beam of light in an extremely short pulse — the most effective technology available for safe tattoo removal. We treat all ink colours across all skin types.
Multiple sessions are typically required, spaced 6–8 weeks apart to allow the skin to recover and the body to clear the broken-down ink.

Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is a specialist cosmetic procedure that uses precise micro-needles to deposit pigment into the scalp, creating the appearance of hair follicles.
Whether you have a receding hairline, thinning crown, or complete alopecia — SMP delivers a natural, realistic result that requires no maintenance and lasts for years.
"Been coming to Mantra 2 for years. Danny did an incredible piece on my arm — the detail is unreal. Always clean, always professional, and the team are genuinely friendly. Wouldn't go anywhere else."
"Claire is absolutely brilliant. Made me feel completely at ease and the piercing was practically painless. Great selection of jewellery and everything was spotlessly clean. Highly recommend."
"Had laser removal done after regretting an old tattoo. The results after just 4 sessions are amazing — faded so much more than I expected. The team were honest about timelines and really professional throughout."
Mantra 2 has been a cornerstone of the West Drayton community for over 25 years. What started as a single studio has grown into a full-service creative space offering tattooing, body piercing, laser removal, and scalp micropigmentation.
We believe great body art starts with a great relationship between artist and client. Every consultation is free, every design is personal, and every result is something you'll be proud to wear for life.
Our studio on Fairfield Road has three private tattooing rooms and a dedicated piercing studio — giving every client the privacy and attention they deserve.
Proper aftercare is essential for great healing results. Follow these guidelines for each service.
Your tattoo is a wound — treat it with care for the first 2–4 weeks and you'll be rewarded with a vibrant, long-lasting result. Follow these steps closely.
Leave the cling film on for 2–4 hours. Remove gently with clean hands and wash with lukewarm water and fragrance-free soap. Pat dry — never rub.
Apply a thin layer of unscented moisturiser (Bepanthen or similar) 2–3 times daily. Keep the area clean and avoid soaking in water (no baths, swimming, or hot tubs).
Peeling and flaking is normal — do not pick. Continue moisturising. Itching is common; resist the urge to scratch. The skin will look dull before it clears.
Keep your tattoo out of direct sunlight while healing. Once healed, use SPF 50 to protect the colour. Avoid tight clothing over fresh work.
If you notice excessive redness, swelling, or discharge beyond the first 48 hours, contact us or consult a medical professional — infection is rare but possible.
New piercings need regular cleaning and protection from irritants. Healing times vary by placement — cartilage takes longer than soft tissue piercings.
Use a sterile saline solution (NaCl 0.9%) on a clean cotton pad. Gently remove any crust that has formed. Do not rotate the jewellery.
Only touch your piercing with clean, freshly washed hands. Avoid touching unnecessarily — bacteria from hands is the most common cause of infection.
Avoid swimming pools and hot tubs for at least 6 weeks. Sleep on a clean pillowcase. For ear piercings, avoid headphones directly on the piercing during healing.
Lobes: 6–8 weeks. Nostril: 4–6 months. Cartilage (helix, tragus): 6–12 months. Navel: 6–12 months. Be patient — rushing jewellery changes causes setbacks.
The treated area will be sensitive immediately after your session. Proper aftercare reduces healing time and minimises risk of complications.
Apply the provided cooling gel or aloe vera to soothe the area. A cool compress can help with any swelling or redness. Avoid touching the area unnecessarily.
Keep the area clean and dry. Blistering is normal — do not pop blisters. Apply a thin layer of petroleum jelly and cover loosely if needed to protect from friction.
Let blisters heal naturally. Apply moisturiser as the skin dries out. Avoid picking scabs. Stay out of direct sun — use SPF 50 on the treated area once healed.
Wait a minimum of 6–8 weeks between sessions to allow your immune system to clear the broken-down ink. Staying hydrated and active supports this process.
SMP aftercare is critical during the first 4 days to ensure the pigment settles correctly and the scalp heals well.
Keep your scalp completely dry — no washing, sweating, or exposure to rain. Avoid saunas, gyms, and steam. The pigment is settling during this window.
You may gently wash your scalp with lukewarm water and mild, SLS-free shampoo. Pat dry — never rub. Apply a light, unscented moisturiser to the scalp.
Prolonged UV exposure is the main cause of SMP fading. Apply SPF 50 to your scalp whenever you're outdoors once healed. This significantly extends the life of your treatment.
SMP typically lasts 3–5 years before a top-up is needed. Moisturise your scalp daily. Avoid abrasive scrubs and harsh chemical shampoos to preserve pigment depth.
