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.

Everyone is always friendly. The technician explains everything to you, supports you while she is working and is very patient with you. Always had a great experience.

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!!!

We were invited to the grand opening event for Zapatat Herndon, and so happy we attended. From the owners to the staff, everyone was welcoming, informative and incredibly friendly. We look forward to working with you…welcome to the community!

I just started my tattoo removal journey on my full right arm sleeve with these folks. The staff is super knowledgeable, and very friendly. I opted to use numbing cream which I had purchased prior to coming and I was able to sit through 1 pass over the full sleeve without any breaks. My first appointment was 9/25/2022 and already can see a visible difference. In my opinion it is not as bad as getting the tattoo on and it's super quick. The healing process for me has been similar to getting the tattoo on.. no blisters and minor discomfort. I highly recommend Zapatat, these guys are the real deal!

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!

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!

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.
