“Tattoo removal isn’t fun, it’s painful, and there’s no getting around that but it is pretty quick which makes it tolerable! And the team at Removery makes every appointment as good as a tattoo removal appointment could possibly be. Nurse Carol has been absolutely amazing throughout this journey (every six weeks for the past year). Thanks to her skill, encouragement, humor, and genuine kindness, she’s made incredible progress. Two of the tattoos I wanted gone have completely disappeared, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. While the process isn’t easy or fun, it’s 100% worth it when you look in the mirror and see a tattoo you once hated is finally gone. I highly recommend the gals at Removery, especially nurse Carol!”

What clients say about Removery West Des Moines - University Ave
“Removery has been the best decision I’ve made when it comes to my tattoo removal. I have spent thousands trying to fully remove a bad decision tattoo from college with three different removers. The first was a back room in a tattoo shop and they got a little bit to fade but after 3-4 sessions of no change, I gave up with them. The second one was at least a nurse, but I still didn’t see any noticeable improvement. I had given up on this tattoo being removed completely until I saw an add for Removery. I was skeptical but I liked their model of one price and unlimited sessions. In just 3 SESSIONS I have seen more progress of my tattoo removal than in the 10+ at the two others. Yes, it is a bit more expensive up front, but from my experience it is cheaper in the long run. I HIGHLY recommend Removery. It is worth every penny. The staff is so friendly and knowledgeable. I’m so glad they made their way to Des Moines.”
“I have had such a great experience with my tattoo removal treatments! The process is explained thoroughly. The technician is professional, knowledgeable, and makes sure I am as comfortable as possible during each session. I’ve already noticed a difference in the fading, and the healing process has gone much smoother than I expected. The staff is welcoming, and very professional. I highly recommend for anyone considering tattoo removal or PMU removal!”
“Carol is AMAZING! She is so good wih what she does and has so much knowledge. The office is nice and very responsive. I am not done with my sessions yet but it's fading and I can't wait to see it in the end.”
“Annmarie is absolutely amazing! From the moment I walked in, she made me feel comfortable and completely at ease. She is incredibly knowledgeable about tattoo removal and took the time to explain the entire process, what to expect, and how to properly care for my skin afterward. Her professionalism and attention to detail really stand out. You can tell she truly understands the science behind tattoo removal and genuinely cares about getting the best results for her clients. I feel confident and well taken care of every time I see her. If you’re considering tattoo removal, I highly recommend Annmarie — you’re in the best hands!”
“I’ve just started my sessions, but so far I’ve been extremely impressed with both the staff & the office! Carol’s is amazing & does a great job explaining the process, which definitely puts my mind at ease! Highly recommend Removery!!”
“I had microbladed/shaded brows removed. It was my first time and everything came off! It was not as painful as I thought it would be. My brows are just a little red, puffy and sting but should only last a day or two. I had a great experience. The nurse was so friendly and explained everything she was doing.”
“I had my first complimentary consultation with a lady whom was super nice and was the entire visit. I have a dime size tattoo by my eye and another on my neck with six letters. These two tattoos have faded a lot because I’ve previously have had them treated prior. Also, the color is a baby blue, no black what so ever, which I’ve heard is more difficult to remove. Anyway, as the gal started to quote the prices, I thought to myself (well, I guess I’ll continue to use cover up) to purchase the packet, its cost is 2,299$ and that’s until the tattoos are gone, In my case my tattoos are small and are already faded I may not need multiple sessions, 5max. Or I could purchase three sessions at 887$, or I could purchase single sessions at 328$. They control the level of the lazer, And I’m sure one, I would need multiple sessions, 5max, but if the lazers setting was set at its lowest setting, I be there more then usual. I’m saying all this to say, some of us can’t afford these prices and I’m very disappointed in myself for not finishing my previous sessions when I paid 200$ plus 50$ for numbing cream. Like I said earlier, the lady I talked to was extremely friendly and the office was very clean.”
