I highly recommend East Coast Laser Tattoo Removal! I am on my final few sessions to remove a small tattoo on my spine and have seen great results. The owner is kind, knowledgeable, and offers fair and transparent pricing.
The owner is knowledgeable and patient! He’s been in business for a decade and he wants to make SURE his patients are informed before they have removal. He explains the process in GREAT detail and he’s also very kind. The process wasn’t as painful as I’d thought and I’m so glad I found this place! I got 2 small tattoos treated and I’ll be back for my next sessions eager for progress. Definitely go here if you’re thinking of getting anything removed!
I’m giving this two stars only because the owner is a nice, friendly man. And I’m a nice person. But clearly I’m unhappy with the service I received. I’m here to warn any people of color from going here. I had a wrist tattoo removed (was quoted at 8 sessions at $100 a pop. It ended up taking about 15 and like a year and a half. I lost count. He did stop charging me after I mentioned we were on the 9th session.)The biggest issue is the hyperpigmentation I’ve experienced. My skin started turning white around session 5 or 6. I was told that it was normal and would come back.I had to stop my sessions with him because I moved to another state. I went to a dermatologist to ask about the hyperpigmentation and was immediately told that the color was never coming back. It might work for Caucasian skin, but the lasers used had permanently damaged my melanated skin.So. This is a caution for people of color: Find a technician who is adept at treating melanated skin. This is not the place for you unless you want the color fried out of your skin.
From the first visit Chuck was absolutely great! He’s very professional, explains the entire process and makes sure you are 100% comfortable. Plus the prices are affordable, which is a nice bonus! The whole establishment is a very clean and welcoming environment. Overall, I’d definitely recommend this business to everyone who needs their tattoo removed, wants quality service and great prices!
I am so grateful to have found East Coast! I am getting a dark, colored and rather large tattoo removed from my forearm. I noticed a difference after the very first session. I was very well informed about the entire process and what to expect. On top of that the customer service is absolutely amazing and they even give you a care package after every session. The price is better than competitors and they have an excellent referral program!! Definitely HIGHLY recommended! Thank you Chuck!! 👍👍👍
Amazing experience! I was able to schedule my free consultation at the perfect time for my schedule. I arrived and found the place easy to find (and great parking!). The office is very clean and inviting. I met with him within 10 minutes. He took all my pertinent information and went over exactly what the process is and why certain things are done certain ways. He took a look at my tattoo and let me know about how many treatments it would take. He answered every one of my questions. It was down to earth (my favorite kind of appointment). I agreed to the tattoo removal and he was able to do my first session right then! It was quick, nearly painless (especially compared to receiving the tattoo), and reasonably priced. He provided aftercare instructions and supplies. I made my next appointment before leaving and will absolutelybe recommending this place to others!
I only wish I found this place sooner! The office is clean, the owner Chuck is professional and super friendly, and the removal process itself is not painful at all. Ive completed two sessions so far and have had a great experience each time. They make sure that you understand the entire process before starting the treatments and that youre comfortable while youre getting the removal done. Im really glad I found this clinic and Im really excited to see the progress with my removal!
I had my first treatment the other day and I felt so welcomed and comfortable. I was nervous to go for so long because you hear horror stories about the tattoo removal process. I was given all the information and procedures up front before having to agree to a treatment. I went ahead and had my first session and it was not nearly as bad as I thought it was going to be. I have a small tattoo, about 2-3 inches and the session was done in about 30 seconds. He numbs the area with cold air while he lasers the tattoo. The pain resembles small shocks but its over so quickly. He estimated about 9 sessions- hoping it can be slightly sooner than that, and the price is reasonable I feel like, especially since you have to wait 6 weeks in between. So there is time to save up for each. I am looking forward to my upcoming results.
I had my first session here today and it was almost completely painless. The cryo machine they use is so numbing and he makes sure you know everything thats going on the entire time, and makes sure you are comfortable. Its very affordable, extremely clean and professional. I have had tattoo removal at other facilities, in other states, and non of them even come close to my experience here. Chuck really treats you like youre family!
I am in the process of getting a tattoo removed from my stomach right above my belly button and I must say I am really pleased with the results and the service I have received. Chuck explained the process to me in detail making me knowledgeable of the whole process so that I could make the best decision for me. I have been treated with nothing but respect and made to feel comfortable every time I go and they always work with my schedule. The office is extremely clean and they have very affordable pricing. I highly recommend giving them a call and scheduling an appointment if you are thinking about having a tattoo removed.
Every time I have come here to get a session done for my tattoo, I leave feeling very satisfied with my results. They are knowledgeable, and explain in depth how the removal will work each time. They also provide a free consultation on how many sessions the tattoo will take to remove. A complimentary bag with all the aftercare for the process (gauze and neosporin) is provided after every session, along with a cold water bottle. Excellent customer service and I would recommend them to anyone looking to remove a tattoo or even any minor mistakes on a tattoo, like blowout. 11/10!
Super professional and knowledgeable staff. Definite results. My original consultation made claim that the tattoo would be gone in 9 treatments. Just had my 7th. It will likely only take one more. The cost is cheaper than I originally thought. Treatments are every 7 weeks or so. The cost was spread out over a whole year. You pay as you go. No contracts...no hidden fees. Wish I would have done this a long time ago. I would recommend no one else than Chuck at East Coast laser tattoo removal. Chuck is a honest guy and does fantastic work.
Went to East Coast yesterday for the first time. I do ink design and love my tattoos, just had a piece that didnt fit. THIS PLACE IS AMAZING. They are quick, professional, friendly, and super respectful. I had a great experience and they are comparatively SO inexpensive. And for all the hype about the pain, it was easy as can be! They make sure youre comfortable and it was quick and not bad at all. If you have a tattoo youre ready to be done with, this is the place to go!
East Coast Tattoo Removal is absolutely awesome! The expertise and techniques used are head and shoulders above the rest. They know exactly how to minimize any discomfort and implement the latest techniques that ensure a quicker and effective removal process. The staff is always friendly, entertaining, and offer the fairest pricing out there. I have other removal specialists closer to where I live, but I opt to travel further for superior service. Its an easy decision!I have one large tattoo that is completely gone without a trace and finishing up another one now. Im very excited about the new clean look!
I have been extremely pleased by the service and results from East Coast L&T. The facility is extremely clean and the services and process are explained in detail giving you clear expectations. Appointments are easy Chuck will work with your schedule. I highly recommend you visiting if you are looking to have a tattoo removed.
I am in the process of getting a tattoo removed from my lower arm so it doesnt extend past my dress shirt while I am at work. The tattoo was professionally done with a very thick outline and dark shading. I am impressed with how much lighter it is after 4 treatments; I no longer worry about my sleeve riding up my arm and people seeing whats hidden under my shirt. They are open on weekends and have amazing customer service- they welcome me by name every time I walk in the door. In addition to excellent service, you will not find a better deal in the area. I priced several tattoo removal shops from Charlottesville, Richmond, and Hampton Roads- Chucks deals are unbeatable! I would highly recommend East Coast Laser Tattoo Removal to anybody that is considering tattoo removal.
I came to chuck extremely anxious about the tattoo removal process not sure what to expect I read reviews and the reviews were good. Everyone skin type is different I started my treatment removal September 2016 my tattoo removal is on my neck the ink faded away with a very little red and green ink left, but my skin is damaged significantly. I had 8/10 treatments and stopped after treatment 8 I have so much hypo and hyperpigmention to where it look worst than when I had the tattoo. Everyone I consult with says give it time and which I have my last treatment was January 2018 and it’s still little to no changes...I’m not sure where my treatment removal went wrong but it hasn’t been a good experience now I’m left to look for another option to get my skin back to as normal as possible. Chuck is very nice and patient but my expectations were not met!
I had my first visit here today, it went great! Chuck made me feel very comfortable, explained everything perfectly, professional, super friendly, and was patient! Exceeded my expectations! Super clean as well! Would highly recommend him!
I recently had my first session with East Coast, I felt really comfortable from the beginning. The consultation was free, clean atmosphere, little to no pain , and you see results after the first treatment! I highly recommend this business for tattoo removal.
First class service from this establishment. Extremely affordable, practically painless (it feels like a rubber band snap) and amazing customer service. If youre thinking about getting a tattoo removed check this place out, you wont regret it.
I had my first consultation today. I was really impressed with his through they were. I am looking forward to getting my tattoo removed. I will recommend them to anyone looking to get a bad tattoo removed.
My first experience here went great! The owner is very knowledgeable and makes you feel comfortable the whole way through. I’m excited to start my removal process !
Chuck is wonderful and walks you through every step of the process. I have been to him three times now, with a few more sessions to go. Its quick and easy and Chucks Cryo machine helps with minimizing the pain!
AMAZING!!! Clean, VERY CLEAN (like a doctors office), great customer service (really GREAT), wonderful bedside manner, and just a great experience for a not so pleasant thing to do. VERY VERY MINIMAL pain.... He freezes the skin before lasering the tattoo off...! AMAZING!!!
My daughter Kristina went to Eastcoast tatto to have a small finger tatto removed so she could go in the Army the treatments were great they make you feel so comfy in the office very clean pretty office very professional staff and Chuck is very nice great prices dont hesitate on using their service and thanks to Chuck and his experience my daughter had her tatto removed and is leaving for the Army in a couple off weeks Thanks Chuck for everything. And he always have chocolate kisses in the candy jar thats a plus.
I had my first session on Saturday and really enjoyed the experience. The place was clean and the staff was very friendly. Chuck informed me of what I could expect and was upfront about everything. I would highly recommend this business to others.
Love love love this place! I was very nervous to start my tattoo removal but after coming here I definitely feel more at ease! Thank you!
The pain is no worse than getting the tattoo (same or less). There isnt bleeding or all the horrors you may have seen. It is WAY more inexpensive than I ever thought it might be....I wish I had looked into it earlier. IT WORKS. I really appreciate the medical setting and professionlism.
Fantastic experience with Ken, the owner/laser tech. Highly knowledgeable, friendly, and professional.
The owner is very kind and does a great job of explaining the entire process. He also has a discount program for ex-cons who are doing community service hours
Great place to go if you want to get your tattoo removed, youll start to see results after your first treatme
I had a wonderful experience here. I would highly recommend East Coast Laser Tattoo Removal to any and everyone that needs a tattoo removed
Fast,Affordable, awesome people.I was very apprehensive about the process but it was simple, took about 45 seconds to do the process. Took me longer to fill out the paperwork. I will be referring my friends here.
Clean and the staff is very professional. They take pictures at each appointment and I can see the tattoo lightening
Wonderful caring staff. The results are fantastic and everything is clearly explained throughout treatment.
