Full Removal Results after two ARTs – 24 weeks
Zapatat®️ Tattoo Removal in just 3-6 visits!
Zapatat® was founded in 2009. We wanted to lower the cost and improve quality, making tattoo removal available to more people. Back in 2012, after a full year of research, we launched something that changed tattoo removal forever: the Accelerated Removal Technique (ART®). Since then, we’ve performed over 6,000 ART® treatments and continually refined the process to make it even faster and more effective.
Here’s what that means for you:
One ART® session can remove 30–80% of your tattoo ink in just 12 weeks. Most tattoos, especially Fitzpatrick Skin Type I-IV are gone in 3–6 ART® sessions — that’s one to two years instead of the two–three years or more it takes with conventional Pico laser removal.
And here’s the best part — speed doesn’t mean a higher price tag. In fact, many of our clients spend the same, or even less, than they would on years of slower, less effective treatments elsewhere.
Reach out today to get started?
“Fewer visits. Faster results. Smarter spend.”
We designed ART® to give you dramatic fading in less time — and without the endless, expensive packages. One ART® session delivers the fading of 5–6 conventional treatments — saving you time, visits, and money.

Our Mission
In just one location, we’ve performed over 40,000 treatments and helped 6,000+ clients reclaim their skin. What they praise most isn’t just the results — it’s the care, kindness, and expertise of a team that makes the entire journey feel easier than they imagined.
Our mission is simple: deliver the fastest, safest tattoo removal in the world, without compromise. And we’re still pushing the limits.
My ultimate goal? To achieve complete removal in a single session. It’s rare today, but in the right cases, it’s already becoming reality. Just take a look at the lower back tattoo— showing the incredible results after just one ART® treatment, a year later.
We don’t believe in locking you into years of slow, mediocre treatments — that’s not in your best interest. Our goal is simple: get you the fastest, safest, and most complete removal possible.
If you’re not thrilled with your progress, you’re free to go elsewhere. But we’re confident you’ll stay — because our results speak for themselves.
If you’re ready to finally say goodbye to your least-loved ink, we’d be honored to help you start fresh.
With ART®, you don’t just get tattoo removal — you get your time back.

- Larry Belt
Great tattoo removal process with even better staff
February 1, 2023 - Liberty Lohr
Very professional and descriptive of their procedures.
October 1, 2022 - Samantha Bernard
Being this was my first tattoo removal session I’ve ever received. I wouldn’t necessarily know what to expect but overall the place was nice and clean and the practitioner who actually removed the tattoo was very nice. I didn’t care too much for the receptionist she seemed very snooty and I just didn’t like her energy but other than that everything was great.

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!

Super fast easy to find! Chris was very thorough with the procedure and the entire process. The staff is super duper friendly! The laser technician is is sweet and very patient. They are very explicit on healing process and makes sure you fully understand how to prep and heal during the recovery process. I will say- depending on your body and your threshold for pain, IT IS PAINFUL! I had to take small breaks in between for a breather. It’s bearable but still painful! Be ready! Lol but it is worth is and the results are absolutely jaw dropping!!! WORTH IT!!!! GREAT SERVICE I LOVE YOU GUYS!!! LOVE- Jamie aka jamaica rouge

Amazing ????

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 went to Zapatat for tattoo removal. They were very professional, fun/light environment and great rates. I left very satisfied. Highly recommend!!
June 1, 2022 - Julie Carr
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!!!

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.
