Laser Tattoo Removal in Herndon, VA
Thanks to the overwhelming support and trust of our clients, we expanded in 2023 with a second location in Herndon, VA — making it even easier for clients across Northern Virginia to access the fastest tattoo removal in the world.
Our clients consistently highlight not only their results, but also the friendly, skilled staff and positive experience they had with us. That’s because at Zapatat®, we’re committed to great customer service and faster results.
It all comes down to our breakthrough Accelerated Removal Technique (ART®). With over 6,000 ART® treatments performed, we’ve proven time and again that most tattoos can achieve 30–80% clearance in just 12 weeks after the first session. Complete removal usually takes only 3–6 sessions 1-2 years— compared to the 2–3 years or more of conventional Pico laser treatments.
With ART®, you don’t just get tattoo removal — you get your time back.
Things to Keep in Mind
The success of your ART® results depends on more than just the treatment itself. Your body’s ability to clear away fractured ink is closely tied to your immune system, which can be influenced by factors like diet, exercise, and lifestyle.
That’s why following our aftercare instructions is so important — they’re designed to keep you safe and help you get the best results possible. Still, every tattoo and every client is unique, so while we can promise expert care, we can’t predict exact outcomes.
Each visit lasts about 45–90 minutes. To keep pricing fair and affordable, we charge only for the measured inked area — never the full size of the tattoo.
We make it easy to fit tattoo removal into your schedule, offering evening and weekend appointments in a comfortable, welcoming environment.

Upon arriving at the new Herndon VA location, I was greeted by Christian. We sat down for the consultation and he thoroughly explained the entire process in detail. Any questions I had he immediately responded to and answered each one without hesitation. After the consultation he introduced me to Carly who performed my procedure. Carly was just as professional and did an amazing job. I couldn’t have had a better experience and was very pleased with the outcome.

I have only spoken to the owner Chris on the phone for a virtual consultation and he was absolutely amazing! He was so beyond nice and answered all of my questions. I think we talked for like 45 minutes and he clearly knows his stuff! When I go in for my first appointment in a couple months I know I will be in great hands. This place is miles ahead any other tattoo removal company and I can tell it will 100% be worth my drive, time, and money. I look forward to my removal and to meet the staff in person. I HIGHLY recommend!

My husband has been going there for the past 2 years. From the first time we stepped foot in there to our last visit this past weekend, they are always kind and welcoming. They provide great customer service and the tattoo removal services they provide are the best. Tattoos are going away! Carmen is the technician who has done the tattoo removal and she is great!! She gives us care instructions and even some materials to go home with to help with the after care. Thank you, Zapatat!

I just completed an over the phone consultation with Chris and it could not have gone better. I’ve been researching his methods for months and had so many questions — he answered all of them in completely and politely which left me feeling so confident about my upcoming appointment. I will be sure to update my review after each session with pictures. Either way feeling very lucky to have found this place!

I wanted a job as a flight attendant and was told I had to get my tattoo removed. I saw this company on TikTok and decided to use them. The pricing was good and although I didn’t like the laser portion of it, it was quick and the cooling part help with how it felt after it was done. The staff are phenomenal and friendly! Owner really took care of me and price was definitely in my price range. I have to say I’m pleased in every way! Thanks team at Zapatat! You made this experience comfortable in every way.

Zapatat is the only laser aesthetics business place I trust. I have been a client since 2020, first for tattoo removal and now for cosmetic services. The staff is ????, and Chris, Carmen, and Isabel are all wonderful. You will be well informed, treated kindly, and enjoy a pristine environment. Laser technology is serious, stick with the best!

Frequently Asked Questions
How much faster is ART®️ vs Conventional?
One ART® session delivers results equal to five or six single-pass treatments. That means faster fading, fewer visits, and ultimately a lower overall cost for you.
Because ART® sessions are spaced at least 90 days apart, the cost spread over time often works out to be less than your daily Starbucks coffee.
Why don’t most pictures show complete removal?
Our photos are real — no filters, no tricks.
Every image you see comes directly from our clients. Most are taken before the very last session, since many people don’t return for a “final” photo once their tattoo is completely gone. That’s why you won’t always see a perfect end shot.
When clients remove more than one tattoo, one usually clears first — and that’s when we capture those “perfect picture” results. It’s real progress, real skin, and real freedom from unwanted ink.
How long is an appointment?
Your first appointment will generally be 90 minutes including paperwork, consultation and treatment. Follow-up treatment appointments will take 15 minutes or less. The ART®️ will take 45-90 mins based on tattoo size. We do not double book appointments so there is seldom any waiting.
How often can I get treated?
We recommend intervals that will minimize cost, while maintaining safety and effectiveness. Conventional treatments are generally at 6-8 week intervals between treatments and 8-12 weeks for ART®️. Shortening the time will not result in faster removal and will increase risk of side effects. We will specify the waiting period after each treatment depending on how you are responding.
