Amazing ????

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.

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 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!

I cannot say enough about Zapatat. The owner Chris and his employees made me feel welcome and comfortable from the moment I walked in. Carly spent so much time explaining the process and making sure I was comfortable. For the actual procedure, they talked me through it, made me laugh and although it sounds weird, I really enjoyed myself. I would give them way more stars then 5 if I could!!!

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.

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.
