    Before and after!  I'm almost 50 and not hating the tighter and lighter skin at all!

    Christian and his team are wonderful and inviting. From the moment you walk in you feel welcomed and educated about their process. This is a beautiful facility and offering one of a kind treatments in our area for tattoo removal and skin care. I experienced the Hollywood laser peel and noticed immediate results from the wrinkles on my forehead to the dark spots in my complexion. I will be returning for more, and I hope you check them out as well!

    ** DON'T BOTHER WITH ZAPATAT ** Update 2 - 4/19 - the owner, Chris is threatening my husband and I with a defamation lawsuit for a honest review on Yelp. UPDATE 4/19 This is exactly what the owner Chris , does when a dissatisfied client speaks out. Read the other reviews- this service is nothing special!! He places blame everywhere else, and he lies. I have zero underlying health issues that would make a tattoo fade slower. I had no issues healing after getting hit 4 times with the laser from h$&%!! It's not about the $$- it's about the principle. I never asked for a free anything , nor did I threaten to post anything in retaliation. I posted a legitimate, honest, review of my opinion regarding my experience with the services I paid for, and received from Zapatat . here are photos of what Chris says are deeply scarred finger tattoos. Again, this is after 600.00 and 4 passes of the brutally painful laser. I'd like to clarify, My husband and I are indeed supporters of small businesses. 100%. --------------------------------------- 4/17 I'm extremely disappointed that I paid 600.00 for one excruciating (yes..it hurts a LOT) ART treatment (four passes with the special state of the art laser) only to have my two small finger tattoos slightly lighter 3 months later. I went back today for a follow up, and I was told at this point I would need 4 more sessions with the "conventional" laser at 100.00 each finger. This comes out to 8 sessions and 1400.00...not sure where the speed of removal, or cost savings are. Again, this is for two tiny finger tattoos. Chris, the owner didn't care when we explained our dissatisfaction....he was completely disinterested in why we were unhappy with the service. He only wanted me to pay for more treatments. I simply want what I paid more $$ for: a faster tattoo removal process!! My advice-- save your money, and the hassle of dealing with someone who just doesn't give a crap. and has a complete lack of communication.

    AMAZING! From start to finish this place is 5 star worthy. I originally just called out of curiosity to find out about pricing for a few unsightly tattoos that I have since I am starting a new job where visible tattoos are not allowed. The receptionist was super friendly and helpful. I wish I had gotten her name. I booked a complimentary consultation for the following day to get a better idea of how much my tattoos would cost. I unfortunately ran into some 495 traffic so I called letting them know I would be late and they were able to reschedule me within the hour. Upon arrival the office was beautiful and welcoming. The decor was modern and up to date. I was welcomed by the receptionist and given some paperwork to fill out. As soon as I was finished, I was taken back to have some pictures of my tattoos taken and measured. I then met with the owner, Chris. My consultation with Chris was extremely thorough and helpful. He spent a good amount of time with me examining my tattoos and explaining the process. I appreciated that he did not sugar coat anything and explained nothing is guaranteed when it comes to tattoo removal. He is very knowledgeable in his field. Although I was just there for a consultation I asked if I could start the process today and he said yes and so I did. My technician, Dani, was absolutely the best! She is so sweet, smart, friendly and was very fast! She made sure I was comfortable the entire time. She continuously asked if I needed a break and or made sure I told her if I did. She is very skilled, I didn't even need a break and I had 4 tattoos removed! She is very personable and super easy to talk to. The pain was minimal and the process was amazingly easy. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to have a tattoo removed. They also do laser hair removal which I am looking into having done once I am finished with my tattoo removal sessions.

    Zapatat helps people transform their appearance and confidence. Looking forward to a new beginning. 1 year later and no scaring on any of my removals.

    original tattoo (awful i know)

    okay.. i'm not the type to leave a review but this establishment is AMAZING! i was itching to get another tattoo as a small birthday gift and it ended up being a absolute nightmare... i literally cried for 2 days straight. i called Chris (the owner) less than 24 hours after the tattoo and scheduled my appointment about 2 weeks out. april 6th rolls around and when i tell you i was nervous.. lol that's an understatement. i actually got lost on my way there and couldn't figure out where to park and the lovely receptionist that day even helped me out and figured out what car i was in so that she could guide me to the right lot. upon entry the shop is beautiful. super bright and inviting. everyone is so kind and the whole process of checking in was super smooth. mostly just forms to get background information. i was really appreciative of how thorough the forms were since i'm a person who has a lot of skin issues and I honestly had no idea how I would react to a tattoo removal. after talking with the owner during my consultation i decided to go with ARRT. its great that they offer same day treatment! it's expensive not going to lie but it's totally worth it. Chris even threw in a discount with helped lightened the cost. as a student tattoo removal is a very expensive process but i knew that this was the right place to get it done. they made sure i was comfortable and even the technician made me laugh the whole time i was actually in the procedure. i was entertained with great conversation and i even found out they do facials among other procedures! i'm so excited to go back for my next session because it's been 2 weeks since my last and my tattoo is already disappearing and they promise that with ARRT your body will continually break down ink up to three months out!! i highly recommend this place to anyone. they are so kind and i'm so lucky to have found this place. i can't wait to go back and get one of those carbon facials and finish up my treatment :)!! the pictures i will attach are of the original tattoo and 2 weeks after the treatment ! also i cannot stress enough KEEP UP WITH YOUR AFTERCARE!! it makes the world of a difference. i'

    BEFORE:This is the tattoo I had removed using ART. Heavily scarred, black ink, 6 years old, left rib cage. I was quoted for 4 sq in. of ink.

    Pretty satisfied with how much one treatment did. Given how dark and thick my lines were, this was better than I expected.

    I was afraid to write this post due to fear of retaliation but this is important. I'm not a confrontational person and try to be as positive and cooperative as I can be. I went into ZAPATAT on Sunday 27 June 21 to have the ART procedure done to remove my tattoo on my arm. I have had 4 successful single passes in the past in a different state and due to relocating, I had to find another business to finish the removal process, so after months of review, I chose ZAPATAT. During my initial consultation and the procedure, the staff members including the owner, were very nice and pleasant. Ms. Carmen performed my procedure and walked me through the entire thing. The procedure requires 4 laser passes to complete. The first laser pass was the most excruciating pain I had ever felt but I was assured that the pain would get better over the next passes and it did. After the process was complete, I felt weak from all of the pain, so much so that it took 10 mins for me to gather myself in my car to drive home. The next day (Monday) I went to work and discovered what you see in the photos. My arm was severely blistered and I was in so much pain. I called ZAPATAT a few times and left a voicemail asking what to do. After no return call, I went to the ER and was treated for 2nd degree burns. I finally received a return call on Tuesday after 5 pm and was told to come in to have Ms Carmen take a look and I did. She assured me that the reaction I had was normal, which is the scary part, because I wasn't warned that this procedure would leave such severe results right after. I sat in the procedure room crying in pain explaining to her and Chris the owner how upset I was. Upon leaving I asked Chris if there was a satisfaction guarantee that offered me a portion of my payment of $1,071 back if it didn't heal correctly. He offered me $200 cash at that moment and reassured me that everything would be alright and after I had begged him to, that he would use my pics to inform his customers going forward of the potential risks and results. I left, got in the car and called my boyfriend sobbing. My bf knew that the money wasn't the issue, however, warning future clients was important to me. He told me to return to ZAPATAT to return the $200 cash so I did. When I returned I was greeted by Chris and the receptionist. I told them I couldn't take the cash and that it is important that customers know of the potential risks of ART instead. My bf was on speaker on my phone to help me explain how I was feeling. Chris was calm at first but then got really upset and went off on the both of us in front of his entire staff. I was in shock. My bf then asked for a full refund, which Chris hesitated at first but granted me in the end. During what seemed like 10 mins to process the refund, I stood there crying as the owner yelled and curse at my bf, the staff and I, slammed the counters and threw things, stopping to apologize once before continuing his rant and verbal abuse. I left in tears, mentally, physically and emotionally scarred and the next day I received a voicemail apology from Chris which didn't make me feel any better. This review is long however I wanted to write it to inform anyone considering the ART procedure at ZAPATAT to think twice. Every one is different however there is a possibility that this can happen to you. The staff was very nice and attentive, even the owner in the beginning. It was just a horrible ending. Please be sure to do your research and think long and hard about the ART procedure, I'm sure the single passes they offer are much safer. The pictures of the blisters were taken the day after the ART treatment in the ER. The pictures of the dry skin were taken one week later after a week of antibiotics, pain meds, steroids and burn cream. I've read the previous negative reviews online and have seen the harsh responses to each by the owner, I just never thought I'd witness it in person. This post isn't to harm anyone's business but to inform others of what they could unfortunately experience during their visit.

    After 3rd of 4 ART passes, will update after tattoo has completely healed.

    See all

    What laser is being used for ART?

    We use a Revlite SI. Q switched ndYAG. Nothing beats the ART for speed of removal.

    Chris was very thorough explaining the process and even the technology of the laser and why it is better than traditional lasers.
