Removery in the News
Like many 18-year-olds ready to express their independence, my first tattoo was a tiny cross on my hip bone. Over the years, my collection grew into a personal mural: palm trees commemorating a Hawaiian vacation, an olive branch on my forearm celebrating my family heritage, and even a bunch of cherries on my ankle that I chose simply because they were cute.
The team at Removery often sees clients whose aesthetic preferences have changed over time. In the last two years, I experienced exactly this kind of shift. While I still appreciate the artistry of my tattoos, they no longer feel like “me.” As someone who expresses myself through fashion, I found myself becoming self-conscious about wearing sleeveless dresses because of my tattoos.
I’m not alone in this journey. At Removery, the experts have noticed a significant increase in removal requests. According to Dr. Josh Weitz, they’ve completed over 1.4 million successful treatments, with about a 25 percent increase in new clients starting treatment just last year.

Starting my removal journey at Removery brought up mixed emotions. There was immediate relief – a feeling of lightness, like taking a big step forward. But there was also a touch of nostalgia, knowing I was saying goodbye to memories of fun and meaningful times in my life.
My experience has taught me to be more intentional about permanent decisions. While tattoos are a unique form of self-expression, it’s perfectly okay to admit you’ve outgrown them. At Removery, we understand that this journey is about more than just removing ink – it’s about personal growth and new beginnings.
We’re on a mission to give you the most straightforward, easy and efficient laser tattoo removal experience. Your estimate will be entirely bespoke to your tattoo; the size, the colors, the ink. It won’t take long and afterwards you’ll have a plan to finally get rid of your unwanted tattoo and get back to being you.
