April 23, 2025I recently visited this place after scheduling an appointment online for 6 PM. I arrived half an hour early, and pleasant staff welcomed me without any issues and provided a form to fill out. Then we went to a separate room with the laser machine, where they took quite some time to explain how the procedure would go and what I should do for aftercare. The tattoo removal procedure itself was very quick and less painful than I expected. At the end, I was given time to sit with ice on the treated area, along with a signed sheet containing detailed aftercare instructions and a special cooling pack. If you're feeling anxious and want to lighten or remove your tattoo, this is a great place!

October 14, 2024I’m a client at GTR and I’ve had great progress. Tim is kind, non judgmental and is always accommodating! The tattoo removal process is a journey so finding the right place and tech will make a big difference. With my progress I have hope that the tattoos will be fully removed one day!

May 14, 2024This is the only place I will ho for removal again! I’m in the process of getting three tattoos removed by Tim and the experience is great. I’m in the process of getting three tattoos removed. Tim is great explains what’s going to happen, and the healing process in detail. The itself laser pain very minimal. I’m on my third session and my tattoos have faded much faster than at other places I have gone for removal. I also appreciate that Tim checks up on you the following day. Great experience each time

May 14, 2023Tim is great. Just did my 2nd session, I already saw results after the first session. It’s honestly way less painful than I thought it would be, hurts less than laser hair removal. It’s so quick, I’m in and out in 10 mins getting 4 tattoos treated. Also his prices and reviews are the best I’ve found through all my nyc research. Call ahead for your first appointment. When you go in for your consultation you can also have your first treatment right away. Also there is zero judgement or discussion of the tattoo that is desired to be removed, no awkward questions. Very professional. And the new shop location in bushwick is great! Highly recommend!

I am so happy I found this business. I have been searching for a tattoo removal spot that wasn’t a corporation with sales people trying to push expensive packages on me. I called for my consultation and Tim was fantastic; he went over everything. I booked immediately. The whole process was easy and not painful. Tim called me the next day to check on me. I thought that was very comforting and showed me that he loves what he does and cares for his clients. It has only been one session and I have my next one planned and I am looking forward to seeing my tattoo’s disappear. FYI it’s been 2 days I already notice a difference. Thank you Tim.

May 14, 2023If I could give Gotham 10 stars I would! Tim, the owner, is amazing. His whole operation is super professional, clean, comfortable - all the i’s dotted and t’s crossed. He answered every question I had. I never felt any pressure whatsoever. I’ve been wanting to get three tattoos removed for years but I just didn’t know for sure where to go - the big corporations just didn’t feel right to me. Tim at Gotham provides a personalized experience and that’s what I was looking for. I went in for a consultation and started with my first session that same day. I can’t wait to see these tattoos disappear:-) Highly recommend!!

May 14, 2024I’ve been to a few places for tattoo removal but nowhere compares to Gotham. I’ve been going to Tim for about 2 years and he is a wizard with a laser. My tattoos are disappearing before my eyes and the results are way faster than they have been at other companies. Tim makes you feel relaxed and safe and you can tell he really cares. I’m so grateful for Gotham. Thank you Tim! 🤙🏼

Best tattoo removal in the city hands down. Tim is thorough, professional, and provides a very calm/chill atmosphere. The price point is great as well with pay as you go or package deal options. Wouldn’t get laser from anyone else!

May 14, 2024Tim is super knowledgeable in what he does, not only does he walk you through the removal process and what to expect before you actually start, but he also makes sure to answer all your questions and keep you comfortable during the session. He made the process super quick and easy and even provided a cute little ice pack at the end. The studio is very clean and aesthetically pleasing as well. If you’re wondering if you should get your tattoo removed here, just do it. This is the your sign to go and do it.

May 14, 2023I just had my first laser tattoo removal with Tim and he is extremely knowledgeable and honest. I’ve had about 16-17 laser tattoo removal sessions with another technician which led to hypopigmentation and the tattoo still wasn’t complete after all those sessions. Tim zapped that one and I’m already seeing a change in the ink after a couple of days plus he worked on removing two other tattoos and although it was painful (only during the quick session and not afterwards) due to the areas where they are located ( rib and arch of foot), it was definitely tolerable. I had gone to another technician ( before finding Tim) for the rib tattoo and she numbed the area and zapped it and it was so painful ( during the session and for about two weeks after) that I was thinking of just covering up the tattoo as I never wanted to deal with that pain again however, after chatting with Tim for the consultation, I knew I would be in good hands. This is by far the best place I’ve gone to for tattoo removal. There is also minimal after care unlike other places. I can’t wait to continue sessions with Tim until the tattoos are completely removed ( btw- I’d seen someone else’s removal from Tim after 3 sessions and it was lightened so much without any type of scarring whatsoever, which is what made me book an appt.). Thank you, Tim!
