Your comfort

Does it hurt?

“It does hurt a little bit, but we have a cooling machine that works very well to cut down on the pain.”

Scott Oshowy, InkOff

Cooling your skin during treatment

Beside the laser, the Zimmer Cryo 6 delivers air as cold as -30°C through a hose to your skin before, during and after each pulse, without interfering with the laser beam.

Peter S. Google review

“The process is a little painful but bearable since it only takes about 5min. He also sprays cold air simultaneously on the laser area so it helps ease the burn feeling.”

Krish J. Google review

“Was noticeably less painful then treatments I've had elsewhere without the freezing.”

Bruce A. Google review

“hurt a bit for like 30 sec then it was over...no pain since...was way better then i thought it would be...i worried for nothing lol”

How it works

What to expect

Four steps, from free consultation to results.

  1. Your first visit

    Step 1: Free consultation

    Scott examines your tattoo, explains laser tattoo removal in detail and answers your questions. No terms or conditions apply.

  2. Each session

    Step 2: Your treatment

    Short pulses of focused light break ink into smaller fragments for your body’s immune system to remove. A Zimmer cold-air system cools your skin to ease treatment.

  3. About 12 weeks apart

    Step 3: Between sessions

    Your treatments are about 12 weeks apart. No recovery time is needed; you can return to normal activities right away.

  4. After 1–2 sessions

    Step 4: Results

    Most people see initial results after 1 or 2 sessions. Fading for a cover-up usually takes 4–8 sessions; full removal, 8–10 or more.

“Scott is fantastic. Super knowledgeable and professional. Doesn’t push you to do more treatments faster in order to just boost sales - he encourages clients to take their time so that they can actually get the best results for their tattoo removal.”

Victoria C. Google review

“I had a fantastic experience with Scott when I went in for an eyebrow tattoo removal. He was incredibly honest and kind, letting me know I didn’t actually need the full procedure and only worked on a small area. It’s rare to find someone who puts honesty above making a sale.”

Naomi K. Google review

“I'd been to many laser technicians before but Scott was the only one that paid attention to my skin tone, how easily I tan in the sunlight, and what the best way for me to receive laser would be.”

Kristina M. Google review

“Scott is an amazing laser technician. I have had 13 sessions with him over the past 3 years and he has been extremely detail-oriented, professional, quick, and kind.”

Tina Google review

“Had my first laser tattoo removal with Scott today and it went great! He’s extremely patient letting you take breaks as needed and does a decent job of making you feel at ease and cared for. Price was more in my range compared to other shops.”

Justin W. Google review

“Scott is the best at what he does. Lasered off a full sleeve and a chest piece for me over the last couple years. Very professional great business!”

Antigone F. Google review

“I came here all the way from Abbotsford to get my old eyebrow microblading tattoo removed because he’s the best! The procedure was quick and his prices are great. I also am really happy that his laser doesn’t take away your natural eyebrow hairs :)”

Jim L. Google review

“Scott is fantastic, knowledgeable and so patient never rushed the process and the end result was amazing after 40 yrs it’s like it was never there.”

Tay L. Google review

“I’ve been coming here for years, best service, price & results. I had tried multiple places before and only returned here.”

Your questions

Clear answers

Is my consultation free?

Yes, your consultation is free. It’s a chance to understand your options. No terms or conditions apply.

How does laser treatment work?

Short pulses of focused energy at selected light wavelengths target tattoo ink beneath your skin. The laser breaks the ink into smaller fragments, which your body’s immune system removes.

How many treatments will I need?

Your session count depends on ink depth, tattoo age and colour intensity, from light shading to dense, dark ink. Generally, fading for cover-ups takes 4–8 sessions and full removal 8–10+ sessions, with most people seeing initial results after 1 or 2 sessions.

How far apart are treatments?

Your treatments are about 12 weeks apart. No recovery time is needed; you can return to normal activities without restrictions.

Are there side effects?

Treatment is generally mild and gentle, with minimal side effects. Cooling your skin reduces pain and minimizes tissue damage during removal.

Why remove a tattoo?

Your tastes can change over time. If a tattoo no longer feels right for you, removing it can change how you feel about yourself and what you see in the mirror.
