I've had the Pico sure treatments now for about 5 years and they make a difference in the tone and color of my skin helping to fade the dreaded age spots creeping in. Christie is a professional and does a terrific job. She offers numbing cream to help with the discomfort and gives good post treatment instructions. Her office is easy to access, and she is always super friendly and knowledgeable. I try to go annually to stay on top of aging changes. I plan on bringing my kiddo in too at some point to get some help with scarring on their skin. read more

I do kinda feel like a jerk sharing a review after not coming here for almost 4 years... but I have to look at the awful results I got everyday and will have to for the rest of my life... so, here we go. I really hope Christie has improved her craft. She's very nice and cool to be around, which is the main reason I kept going to her, even though she gave me second degree burns. I went to Christie for about 3-4 sessions, I forget at this point... and what she did to me has made continuing removal extremely hard for me, the damage to my skin from her was THAT great in only 3 sessions. I have had to put removals on a huge halt over the years, I'm 5 years into removal, and at this point I'm 15 treatments in. Treatments have had to be extremely gentle due to how much hypopigmentation , hyperpigmentation and skin texture damage Christie caused. I put off my wedding as long as I could, thinking nearly 5 years would've been enough time to remove my half sleeve enough for a coverup... especially since Christie told me my removal should only take 6-8 sessions? Which In hindsight... is an INSANE red flag for lack of experience. Now, I hope she has improved her craft, and I genuinely hope the best for her... but having to spend my life covering myself, being embarrassed from the scarring, and knowing my hand will never be able to be in the sun again makes me think that leaving a review and upsetting Christie is nothing compared to what I've had to deal with and will have to continue spending thousands of dollars to try and fix. Think I'm dramatic? Look at these pictures. These are ONLY after Christie's sessions. Not any other technician I've gone to. Because of Christie, full removal may not even be possible anymore ... but my current technician is the best in the business.. so we shall see. I just wish I could go back. Defend myself against her gaslighting of , "you didn't ice enough". No amount of icing could have prevented any of this. I just wish I would've advocated for myself and challenged her "no refund" policy. I hope you think about me forever Christie, because I have no choice but to think about you every time I look at my freakin hand. I don't want to hear from you, I don't want an apology. I just want to warn people so they don't have to deal with what I've had to. read more

Christie is amazing! fun to work with, super knowledgeable and can help with more things than just tattoo removal! From lasers for your skin, foot detox baths and even teeth whitening! She is incredible! read more

Teeth whitening and foot bath!! This place is awesome, Christy is awesome, check this place out. The tatoo removal is also awesome

My progress with the tattoo removal process at Wise Choice. I started my journey in the beginning of 2025, and I'm really happy with the results so far. Christie, your guidance and knowledge have been instrumental in this process. I've had 7 sessions now, and my skin is healing great. I'm particularly grateful for your advice on post-care, especially as an active Ice hockey player in RMHL. I've been able to maintain my activities while ensuring my tattoos heal properly. I'm looking forward to our next session and continuing to work together towards a successful removal. Thank you for your continued support and expertise. I will update pictures soon! Thanks Wise Choice! read more

Amazing! They took great care of me and are health focused! Use Wise Choice! I felt very safe and the results are amazing!

Flexible scheduling, quick, good prices - I recommend her to anyone looking for tattoo removal!

I came across this business on Groupon while searching for some tattoo removal deals for a very old tattoo that I've had since my late teen years and I am now in my mid 30s. I connected with Christie and learned that my tattoo was too big to be honored by the Groupon deal so I decided to do some shopping around but still eventually ended up going with her business because she truly has the best price and seemed to really know her stuff. The tattoo removal process itself does hurt... but she has a machine that blows cold air during the removal process and also instructed me to ice the area which really helped! I was sort of preparing for the worst but after just 2 sessions .. my tattoo is about 75% gone. If you really want a tattoo removed... Christie knows what she's doing and I absolutely 10/10 highly recommend her business. A few other things to mention: I was a little skeptical about the metered parking but it has been totally fine since the removal process is so fast... I usually just bring change and put a couple of quarters in the meter. Also, she has made me feel very comfortable and has been available for questions and concerns. Truly a wonderful experience and will certainly be back with my next regrettable tattoo :) I will update this post with before and after pics once I finish all my removal sessions. read more

I'm glad I made the wise choice to get my tattoo removed here! Every session has been quick and healing has gone well. I would definitely recommend! read more

I promised you one last after photo. I can't believe it's gone! Thank you again so much. I might come in for one more session this winter, but overall, I'm very pleased with the results after 5 sessions. Worth every penny! read more

This place is great! Christy is wonderful about explaining the removal process and trying to make it less painful. Her laser has a cold tip which numbs it as it's being zapped. She also answered my texts from home about the healing process. Don't hesitate, schedule today! read more

My teenage son got a tattoo in a very visible area on his neck. He got it on a whim without thinking of the future ramifications it might have. Christie at Wise Choice Tattoo removal was very knowledgeable and helpful at guiding us on how he could remove the tattoo. He has had 3 treatments so far and the tattoo is almost completely gone. My son feels much more confident in his future knowing he won't be judged on a mistake he made as a teenager. read more

In my youth, I got some really stupid tattoos. Then I tried to cover those abominations. Then... you get the picture. Before I got married 20 years ago, I tried to have one of my tattoos (pictured) removed. It was expensive, slow and excruciating (old laser). It didn't work very well 8-10 treatments recommend and I did 3), and it was absolute torture. Epic fail! Fast forward, I found Christie Carlin, who absolutely ROCKS! Yes, it still hurts but no where near my previous treatments. She explained everything, gave me an unbelievable price, and she's precise and FAST! I'll try to remember to post and after picture, but I literally wouldn't go ANYWHERE ELSE to get a tattoo removed. Wise Choice is hand-down the best in Colorado. This has been such a positive experience all around... I may even get another one done. Ha! Christie ROCKS!!! Thanks Wise Choice! read more

Wise Choice Tattoo Removal - The mess on my foot: cover on a cover with a couple previous disappointing removal efforts. - Tattoo Removal Near Me - Denver, Colorado

My first skin rejuvenation treatment went well, looking forward to more sessions. It helps reduce unwanted pigment.

Wise Choice is the best tattoo removal service provider in Denver. I invested a significant amount of time researching the process, the technologies, and the cost. Wise Choice wins in each category. Beware the spa type service providers that charge multiples of the appropriate cost. I was skeptical that the process would be effective for me with a medium/large deep dark tattoo. 12 sessions. 2 1/2 years. Result: "As if it never existed ." read more

I came in because of a deal that was treatment of a tattoo the size of a credit card. My tattoo is on a spot not visible to me, so before I went in I had my friend make sure a credit card fully covered the tattoo. Went I went in I was told a credit card wouldn't cover it and I had to pay additional. I was upset unsure if my friend didn't measure carefully. When I got home my friend measured again and took pictures alongside a ruler, which confirmed my tattoo is just under credit card size. Not quite 2x3. I paid almost double what the deal was supposed to be. I feel scammed. read more

Christie has been great with my tattoo removal process! She educates you on every step so you can feel comfortable with the steps. I've had great results with my tattoo removal! Highly recommend! read more

Christie is so insanely knowledgeable about the process or tattoo removals! She is also covered in tattoos which actually made me feel more comfortable! She was very thorough about how the procedure would go (time, pain, expected results etc) AND how the laser works and the ink is excreted. I wouldn't go to anyone else! read more

Christy is absolutely amazing. I'm on my second tattoo being removed by her. Every session she really takes the time to analyze and recognize where my skin and healing process is at. She doesn't try to rush things and is really realistic about timelines and success. She 100% removed a terrible ring tattoo. I thought I was stuck with it for life, but she worked her magic and saved me from the insanity of having a tattoo l hated. I'd recommend Christy to anyone who is interested in tattoo removal. read more

Simply could not recommend Wise Choice Tattoo Removal enough. After 5 treatments elsewhere with very little progress, I found Christie and it made a drastic difference. She is the perfect blend of warm, friendly and welcoming, and professional. It is easy to schedule an appointment, and she is extremely responsive and flexible to date changes. At my first appointment, I was quite surprised to learn she runs the entire operation, as I assumed she had a full-time receptionist! 10/10 absolutely would recommend. read more

a minute agoNEW Christie is the absolute best! She will explain to you the science behind her business and it's absolutely fascinating. I had a consult with her today and we moved right on into my first treatment. She took really good care to make sure I was properly prepped for the procedure and she moved through the painful process seamlessly and relatively quickly. She was even kind enough to field all of my husband's curious questions. i really appreciated that:) Of course I will be returning for her services, but I highly recommend getting a consult with her if you are considering laser tattoo removal!!! read more

Christie makes booking appointments so easy. All laser treatments I've completed with her have been such a breeze and very affordable. I highly recommend her for any laser removal needs!! read more

Got my first session of tattoo removal on my eyebrows and arm. Waited 6 weeks to see results. Arm is ok, I can see the difference in ink dissolving but eyebrows stayed exact same ink color as before the procedure. I've mentioned this to Christie twice but all I got is "bummer about your brows". This is not what you want to hear when you spend $120 on the procedure. I also said that I felt like I wasted $120 since the laser treatment didn't help and just left me with bleached browhairs. I do feel disappointed as Christie didn't offer any solution. read more

Christie was an absolute angel from start to finish. She explained every step of the process before she moved forward and constantly checked in with me. She was so personal and the pain was so minimal. She truly knows what she is doing. I have already recommended her to friends and will continue to do so. If you are looking for a reasonably priced, very kind, down to earth tattoo removalist... look no further! read more

Christie was awesome! So professional and informative! Looking forward to seeing her again for my 2nd treatment. So far my first treatment has gone very well. read more

Absolutely amazing experience! She talked me through the process and was so kind and thoughtful throughout each step. Affordable prices and you can tell she truly loves her job. Thank you so much! read more

Wise Choice is a fantastic place to go when looking for tattoo removal. Christie makes booking super easy, her office is extremely clean and she is very helpful. I went to another place and had a very different experience, they didn't even offer to numb the area without purchasing an additional numbing cream. Christie blasts the area with cold air and the removal goes very quickly. Great business! read more

So Yelp allows for a 5-Star review, but it only says 'Great'. 'Great' is an understatement. Christie at Wise Choice Tattoo is phenomenal, and that probably is also an understatement. My consultation with her was laid back, and very informational. I have 3 tattoos, and my lower back tattoo has been a pain point 18 years out of the 19 I've had it. I had done a ton of research on tattoo removal and kept coming back to Wise Choice. My first appointment was awesome. She walked me through the process again, and then during the session she kept checking on me and making sure I was ok. The aftercare package was also fantastic, and she checked on me via text later that day. I cannot thank her enough for how fantastic she is at her job, and making a Nervous Nellie like me calm and collected. THANK YOU Christie!!! I can't wait to see the results at the end. Not sure why my locations says San Francisco... I'm definitely in Denver lol read more

Christie was super friendly and professional. Educated me on the process, assessed the area, and we started on my first treatment of removal of a tattoo. Was in her office for less than 30 minutes total from start to finish. Process was quick and easy. Parking was easily found on the street. I can't wait for my next session!! Thank you Christie!! read more

I debated waiting until I had clearer pictures of more defined results, but Christie went out of her way to check on me after my first session yesterday and that should speak volumes to anyone who would consider Wise Choice. It is clear from the amount of time that Christie spends ensuring that you are comfortable and relaxed and aware of the removal process to the time that you leave (and even the next day!) that she LOVES what she does. She even walks you through some of her own tattoo mistakes which made me feel very comfortable and was a humanizing and kind gesture, seeing as the reason I was there was because I was tired of having something that I did not like permanent on my body. She excels at her job, regardless of any kind of instant results (which we should all know will vary person by person). For me, I had roughly a 4" by 2" black 13 year old (older tattoos are removed in less sessions) tattoo on the back of my neck that I do actually see results from after one session. The insides of the tattoo are very faded compared to yesterday and I did not experience any more pain than what I was told I might go through, actually, the opposite. The actual process of the laser on skin was about 30 seconds and I cannot wait to see my results after my next appointment in six weeks. One thing I'd like to add is I waited and waited and waited until I was confident that technology had progressed to the point of me knowing I will see results after a few sessions, and I am so thankful that I did. I did not see any other removal places around Denver with the laser that Wise Choice uses, but I guess I could be wrong about that. The added bonus that I KNOW cannot be found anywhere else, is Christie herself. Thanks again! read more

Clean and comfortable office. Extremely professional and friendly laser tech. You can tell she is an expert in the way she helps you understand the process to get the most out of your procedures. Plus she's a sweetheart so it's easy to get comfortable while going through the treatment. read more

Christie is so awesome!! She is very knowledgeable about the entire process. I appreciate how honest she about how many treatments you will need and the time frame. Her prices are really great as well! read more

Christie is the best! She removed two of my tattoos and I couldn't be happier! One was very large on my back, the other on my ankle. She makes the treatment as painless as possible and I got the results I was hoping for. Next I'm going to try the facial rejuvenation with her. I'm sure it'll be amazing as well!! read more

I recently decided to have facial rejuvenation, and I used Wise Choice because of their pico laser. Having had other treatments done, including CO2, I was shocked at how fast and painless this procedure was. My skin looks and feels incredible after only one treatment and I am looking forward to having another treatment soon. Christie at Wise Choice has been doing laser treatments for years, and her knowledge and great personality really puts you at ease! I highly recommend Wise Choice for facial rejuvenation and I plan to go back for a tattoo removal in the near future. read more

I have had numerous tattoo removal treatments but have been left with a little remaining ink and scarring. I went to Wise Choice to try the new Pico laser with hopes of improvement on removal and unsightly scar tissue. Not only was the treatment FAR less painless, but the results are finally what I was looking for. The last of the ink finally gone and the scar much improved! Christie made sure I was comfortable every step of the way and answered all of my questions throughly. I highly recommend Wise Choice for any tattoo removal needs! read more
