For laser tattoo removal clinics

Quote the whole treatment at the first consult.

Photograph the tattoo beside a reference card. Tattoolytics measures it, reads the ink and scores it on the Kirby-Desai scale, so every consultant at every location gives patients the same plan.

From photo to plan in one consult.

Four steps on the iPad your consultants already carry. Analysis usually takes under a minute.

  1. Photograph

    Shoot the tattoo with the reference card flat beside it. The camera stays open for a close-up and a wider shot, or pick up to ten photos from the library.

  2. Assess

    One tap each for skin type, location, ink amount, layering and scarring. Every tile shows its Kirby-Desai points, and the summary bar lists what's still needed.

  3. Analyze

    The tattoo and the reference card are segmented separately. The card's known size turns pixels into centimeters, and the ink colors are read from the tattoo itself.

    Processing screen showing the photo being scanned and a checklist: uploading photos, segmenting tattoo, measuring area, analyzing color, computing session estimate.
  4. Plan

    A session range, the treatment span, the full factor breakdown and any photo-quality notes, on one screen. Share a plain-text summary with the patient before they leave.

    Estimate result for patient PT-20417: 10 to 14 sessions, about 12 to 24 months, 6 to 8 weeks between sessions, Kirby-Desai score 12, 131.6 square centimeters, with the segmented tattoo highlighted on the photo.

Reference card, 3 × 2.5 in

Tattoo area 131.6 cm²

Real output from Tattoolytics: the tattoo and the card segmented in one photo, with the area measured against the card.

A real size, not an eyeball guess.

Segmentation finds the ink and the reference card in every photo. Because the card is always 3 × 2.5 in, the tattoo's area, width and height come out in centimeters, and the ink mix feeds the colors factor of the score.

Checked on every photo

If a photo can't be measured reliably, the report says why and what to do about it.

Stops the measurement

  • Reference card not found. Place the card flat beside the tattoo and retake.
  • Reference card too small. Move closer so the card is clearly visible.
  • No reference card. Place the card flat beside the tattoo and retake.
  • Tattoo not found. Check it's in focus and fills more of the frame.
  • Partial view. Frame the whole tattoo with some skin around it.
  • Tattoo obstructed. Move hair, clothing or jewelry out of the frame.

Noted on the report

  • Low light. Retake in brighter, even light.
  • Blurred. Hold the iPad steady and tap to focus.
  • Poor angle. Shoot straight on, parallel to the skin.
  • Reference card rotated. Area stays accurate; width and height may be approximate.

The scale your consultants already trust, scored the same way every time.

Tattoolytics uses the Kirby-Desai scale: six factors that predict how many laser sessions a tattoo needs. Try it here with the same math the app runs.

One standard across every location.

When a patient calls a second clinic in your group, they should hear the same number. Tattoolytics makes the rules a clinic-level decision instead of a consultant-level habit.

Reports list, searchable by patient ID, showing an estimate of 10 to 14 sessions. Estimation rules screen: 6 to 8 weeks between sessions, a range of plus or minus 2 sessions, and a live preview of what a patient would see, with a Publish version 2 button.
Admins publish the rules
Set the time between sessions and how far the range extends around the score, preview what a patient would see, then publish a new version.
Every report keeps its version
New estimates use the published rules. Existing reports keep the rules they were made with, so an old quote always reads the way it did on the day.
Reports by patient ID
Find any estimate by patient ID, with its session range and photo-quality flags right in the list.
Demo mode for training
New consultants can run full consults without uploading a single photo. Demo estimates are clearly labeled so they never get mistaken for real ones.

Patient photos are PHI. We built around that.

Tattoolytics is a standalone clinical tool, deployed for your organization. No patient data trains anything and nothing is sold on.

  • Hosted on infrastructure we run

    Photos, reports and the segmentation model live on servers we operate for your organization, not a third-party AI API.

  • Separated by organization

    Each clinic group's patients, photos and rules are isolated from every other customer's.

  • Patient IDs, not names

    Estimates are filed under your patient ID. The app never asks for a name, date of birth or contact details.

  • Nothing left on the iPad

    Signing out deletes drafts and reports stored on the device, so a shared clinic iPad starts clean for the next consultant.

Priced per location.

A one-time onboarding fee to set up your organization, then a monthly subscription for each clinic. We'll quote both on the demo call.

Questions clinics ask.

Does it replace the consultant's judgement?

No. It measures, scores and applies your clinic's rules consistently. The consultant confirms the assessment and adds notes before anything reaches the patient.

What do we need to start?

An iPad running iPadOS 18.5 or later and the reference card. The card is 3 × 2.5 in, and every photo is sized against it.

How long does an estimate take?

Filling in the assessment takes a few taps. Analysis usually finishes in under a minute, and the consultant can keep talking to the patient while it runs.

Can we change how sessions are spaced?

Yes. Admins set the shortest and longest interval between sessions and the range around the score. The defaults are 6–8 weeks and ±2 sessions. Publishing creates a new rules version, and old reports keep theirs.

Does it connect to our EMR or practice software?

Not today. Tattoolytics is standalone. Each estimate can be shared as a plain-text summary to paste into your records or send to the patient.

What happens when a photo is poor?

The report lists every quality issue with a fix. Missing or unusable reference cards stop the size measurement so a bad photo never produces a confident-looking number.
