“I’m so happy to visit you studio again Thank you so much ♥️”

“I had a great experience at Removery! Trisha made the consultation process super easy and comfortable, she explained everything clearly and answered all my questions without any pressure. When it came to the procedure, Erica was amazing. She was professional, gentle, and made sure I felt at ease the whole time. You can tell they both really care about their clients. Highly recommend if you’re considering tattoo removal!”

“I've been to two removery locations now (the last one being on the east coast) and they're always great. The folks at this location are particularly phenomenal though. Great chat, cosy environment, and the least painful lasering I've had done to date (which is a significant amount). I really recommend them. Update March 2026: I've faced some health struggles and the folks here have been unbelievably gracious about rescheduling, long breaks, and adjusting our treatment plan. As someone who doesn't feel comfortable with people easily I can say that I always feel comfortable here. You're really in great hands at this location.”

“Erica is amazing! I’m always about to crash out scared of the pain before I come in - but she reassures me and goes super fast ❤️🙏🏽”

“Removery heavily advertises its INK-nitiative program as a humanitarian effort, claiming to provide a "safe, judgement-free environment" for individuals "rebuilding their lives after a troubled past" and "eliminating the physical reminders of traumatic life experiences." They require applicants to publicly expose deeply vulnerable histories—including former incarceration, gang affiliation, human trafficking, and domestic violence—promising to help them focus on a "better future." Prospective clients need to know how Removery actually treats vulnerable patients the second an official staff conduct grievance is filed. I put myself in an intensely vulnerable state with this company. I explicitly disclosed exactly what my tattoos consist of, why I no longer wanted them on my body, and how deeply painful they are to live with. Removery took that exact vulnerability, turned around, and weaponized it against me the moment I spoke up about staff behavior. Using the exact opportunity of me reporting staff misconduct to turn around and state that I am no longer with Removery is completely absurd. Immediately after I filed a formal complaint regarding staff behavior at the studio, Removery abruptly revoked my care, fabricating claims regarding attendance rules to state that I "no longer qualified." Their own signed consent form explicitly states: "I consent to being obligated to showing up in a timely manner to each appointment." "I must notify Removery if I need to cancel or reschedule an appointment with 24 hours' notice, and that failure to do so may result in immediate expulsion from the program." Removery has not produced—and cannot produce—a single date, timestamp, or record showing an unexcused absence or a failure to give 24 hours' notice. None exists. On July 23, 2026: Prior to arrival, multiple attempts were made to call the studio, but calls repeatedly disconnected on Removery’s phone line—a system malfunction entirely out of my control. Upon arrival, there were no patients waiting in the clinic lobby. Treatment was performed. The technician touched my tattoo, administered laser treatment to a portion of the area, and stated the full tattoo could not be completed during that visit due to the arrival time. Even after the treatment session was completely finished, there was still nobody waiting in the lobby. Physically showing up to an appointment and receiving laser treatment on your tattoo is not a failure to cancel or reschedule with 24 hours' notice. There is zero contractual basis for expulsion. Requiring vulnerable clients to expose sensitive personal trauma and painful history to access care, and then weaponizing that history to claim they "no longer qualify" right after they expose staff misconduct, completely contradicts their claims of providing a "safe, judgement-free environment." Grossly misinterpreting their own signed contract terms to fabricate grounds for expulsion is bad-faith retaliation. Promoting a trauma-recovery program publicly for positive PR while revoking care from vulnerable patients who report staff conduct concerns tells you everything about this company.”

“Awesome job 👍👍👍👍👍you’re the best best job 👍👍👍👍👍”

“I was nervous for it being my first time being here, but when I walked in. The receptionists were really nice and welcoming. The consultation was super informative and they made sure I understood and felt comfortable and they didn't pressure me to make a decision right there and then. I’m super excited to see my results further along the treatment.”

“Tricia & her team are awesome! Great customer service, very personable & clearly pros at what they do. They've made me feel at ease every step of the way.”

“I had my first, quick removal session and a complimentary consultation with Tricia and Hillary, both of whom provided a welcoming environment. All rooms had respectful space for my guest. Will update after my end session.”

“This place is the real deal. My appointment was for removal of my microbladed eyebrows. After one session, there is already a huge difference. Beautiful office and great people. Trisha and Hillary talk you through the process and explain everything thoroughly. I highly recommend.”
