Authors

Small team, clear split. Naomi researches and writes what you see published. Chris keeps the rules those articles have to clear, and stays out of the byline.

Naomi Foster

Health Writer. Every guide on this site came from Naomi's desk: per-session pricing by tattoo size, how many extra rounds a green or yellow tattoo typically adds versus black ink, the medspa-versus-dermatologist price gap, and what a full course of treatment looks like from first consult to final fade check. Her background is in reporting on the cost side of healthcare, and she is upfront that this is not a clinical credential. She has never treated a patient, and none of her articles pretend otherwise. What she brings is the ability to take a stack of clinic pricing surveys and provider rate sheets and turn them into a number an ordinary reader can budget around, flagging the difference between a documented figure and an educated approximation every time. Beyond this site, she writes similar cost breakdowns for a handful of other procedure-focused publications under the Encore Editorial banner.

Chris Terry

Founder and Editor. Chris started Tattoo Removal Cost as one of several independent cost calculators he publishes under the Encore Editorial name, and he is the one who set the sourcing bar described on the editorial standards page. You will not find his name on a guide here; the writing is Naomi's territory. What he does instead is sit behind the scenes checking that the calculator's math still tracks reality, following up on anything a reader flags as wrong, and blocking the kind of ghost-written or fake-credential bylines that show up on lower-quality sites in this space.

Why only one name appears on these guides

Nothing on this site is published under a made-up staff name or a "medical review board" that does not actually exist. Naomi's byline appears because Naomi did the work, full stop. Should this roster grow, whoever joins gets credited on this page next to the specific articles they researched, not a blanket mention.
