Emma WhiteSo, my friend was going through a bad breakup and suddenly realised that she had to remove her ex’s name from her wrist ASAP. Let’s be real, we’ve all had our “I thought it was a good idea at the time” moments.
Lucky for her, bad tattoos don’t have to be forever. Now, I’ve listed down the tattoo removal clinics in Ottawa that we’ve checked out.
Whether you’re hoping to erase an ex’s name, a misspelled quote, or just an impulsive design choice, these clinics have you covered to help you start fresh. Read on and hit the undo button on those ink regrets!
How much does tattoo removal cost in Ottawa?
In Ottawa, you can expect to pay between $50 and $200 per session for laser tattoo removal.
The total cost varies depending on the size and complexity of the tattoo and the number of sessions required for complete removal.
1. Removery Tattoo Removal & Fading
Address: 900 Bank St Suite 140
Phone: +1 343 342 1046
Business Hours:
- Tuesday to Friday – 10 AM to 6 PM
- Saturday – 9 AM to 3 PM
Removery Tattoo Removal & Fading’s warm and professional ambiance stands out. The staff was genuinely focused on making my friend’s tattoo removal experience comfortable and personalised.
They made sure that she was well-informed throughout the process, which can take up to 12 sessions (depending on the tattoo). Also, they’ve totally nailed it with the PicoWay lasers—this technology is top-tier for tackling every type of ink!
We also like how they have various packages covering everything from tiny tattoos to extensive pieces. They even have solutions for cosmetic tattoos like eyebrows and scalp micropigmentation.
We’re just a bit iffy about them sending too many promotional texts and emails. On the bright side, they offer flexible payment plans and free initial consultations!
Welcoming and informative staff
“I’m new to the city and so happy I decided to go to Removery! The staff are very welcoming and informative. It was clean and professional, I wasn’t pressured into anything, and I felt knowledgeable after speaking with them. It was truly an amazing experience all around. I highly recommend Removery if you have any thoughts about removing a tattoo.”

Safe and assuring experience
“My first time at the Recovery Tattoo Removal & Fading. I had a free consultation with Anna. She made me feel safe, welcomed and heard. She went through all the paperwork and process even providing me a start to my first tattoo removal. I was then brought to Christina who guided me through the paperwork process and made me feel at ease with the actual procedure. My first free consultation/session was a great and assuring experience. Great team and facility.”

2. The Cosmetic Clinic – Barrhaven
Address: 900 Greenbank Rd suite 204
Phone: +1 613 913 2248
Business Hours:
- Monday, Wednesday and Friday – 9:30 AM to 5:30 PM
- Tuesday and Thursday – 9:30 AM to 7 PM
- Saturday – 10 AM to 1 PM
The Cosmetic Clinic stands out for their top-notch tattoo removal services. They use advanced laser technology, which makes the whole tattoo removal process efficient and precise.
We also love how the staff is genuinely welcoming and takes the time to explain the nitty-gritty of the procedure—great for nervous clients! Their rooms are comfortable and clean too, which adds to the overall comfort.
When we interviewed some of their clients, many praised the clinic’s inviting atmosphere and the staff’s attentiveness.
Some complained about the long waiting times, though, which can be attributed to the clinic’s popularity. Unfortunately, this also means that you’ll need to book your appointments well in advance.
Extremely knowledgeable and talented
“The best place in the city for any and all cosmetic procedures! Nurse Brianna is absolutely fantastic! She is so informative, welcoming and really takes the time to discuss your needs and goals! I have been to many clinics in Ottawa over the years and Brianna is by far the most knowledgable, talented and professional service provider I have ever come across. Her professionalism and talent is evident in her work. I am so grateful to have found her! I have gotten so many compliments on my skin and face since working with her! Thanks Brianna, you are the best!”

Kind, attentive, and professional
“After having a poor experience elsewhere I came to Nurse Mia for revision. Being new to this I was quite worried. She explained everything and walked me through the process. She was so kind, attentive, and professional. I felt so comfortable and taken care of, and I’m so so happy with the natural and beautiful result!”

3. Skins Derma Care
Address: 1290 Trim Rd
Phone: +1 613 854 3376
Business Hours:
- Hours: Monday – Friday : 9AM – 9PM
- Saturday: 9-5 PM
Skins Derma Care has carved out a reputation, specifically for their tattoo removal services.
Right from the start, we noticed how thorough their process was—beginning with a free consultation that thoroughly assesses the tattoo and skin type to tailor the best treatment plan.
Also, they don’t just stop at tattoos since the range of services they offer is pretty extensive. From facials, chemical peels, microneedling, and scalp micropigmentation to advanced body contouring solutions like CoolSculpting and Emsculpt, they’ve got it all.
For those wanting to revamp their skincare routine, their retail products from brands like Alumier MD and Skinceuticals are worth checking out as well.
A big downside in our books is their limited opening times since they’re only open three days a week.
Attentive and caring staff
“My experience with dermis Orleans has been nothing but a positive journey! I truly admire the hardworking and caring women who work there. Julie has always taken such good care of me. I have had many facials, laser hair removal, tattoo removal and have been a die hard fan of the eminence skin care line they carry. If you want to have your needs heard and taken care of, you are in the right place!”
-Sophie Sabourin, Google Review
Comfortable and reassuring experience
“Super professional, friendly and clean. Laser tattoo removal can be intimidating, but Kyra at Skins Derma made me feel very comfortable and relaxed. She genuinely wants to help and I really liked how she kept before and after photos to show the progress of the treatment.”

4. Ottawa Laser Clinic
Address: 2725 Queensview Dr #400, Nepean
Phone: +1 613 226 6200
Business Hours:
- Monday – 10 AM to 6 PM
- Tuesday to Friday – 9 AM to 8 PM
- Saturday – 9 AM to 5 PM
Ottawa Laser Clinic is considered one of Ottawa’s best in the field of tattoo removals. First off, they boast of a Picosure laser, known for its minimal pain and effective results.
Furthermore, all their staff are certified and extensively trained. They were also extremely helpful, guiding clients through some introductory questions to prepare them for consultations.
We had the chance to interview a few clients, and many were all praises about the quality of care and results they got. Some just complained about the occasional wait times for appointments.
Finally, we like how Ottawa Laser Clinic shows their expertise in laser treatments (they’re aptly named!) Aside from tattoo removal, they have a range of treatments such as RF microneedling, laser photofacial, laser vein treatment, and more.
Top-notch equipment and inviting ambiance
“I found this clinic online after learning about laser tattoo removal at a tattoo convention. I originally went in to have a small section of a tattoo removed and ended up also getting laser hair removal and Vaculyse treatment for some skin tags and minor blemishes over the last year. Allison, Jenna and all the staff are so helpful, professional and explain the treatments and aftercare perfectly. The clinic itself is very inviting and clean, and the equipment they use is the best of the best based on the research I did before starting treatments here. Highly, highly recommend them!”
-Stuart Seemungal, Google Review
Consistent care with personalised rapport
“I’ve been coming to the Laser Clinic for practically everything; laser hair removal, laser tattoo removal, microdermabrasion, etc. Sarah has been absolutely wonderful to work with for all of my treatments! It has been great working with the same person for all of my concerns so we can really build a rapport and get to know my skin. Very highly recommend the Ottawa Laser Clinic!”

5. Fade Aesthetics
Address: 1530 Merivale Rd #211, Nepean
Phone: +1 613 880 5485
Business Hours:
- Monday to Saturday – 10 AM to 6 PM
We checked out Fade Aesthetics, and we liked how they made the whole experience personalised. Here, they take the time getting to know each of their client’s skin history during the initial consultation.
The clinic itself is inviting and clean, and the equipment they use is high-end. Their staff—especially Allison and Jenna—are friendly, professional, and thorough in explaining both the treatment processes and aftercare.
If you want to make the most of your experience, they also offer laser hair removal, skin rejuvenation, and treatments for skin tags and blemishes.
Talking to some of their previous clients, we heard nothing but positive feedback. However, we have to mention that their receiving area is quite small, so it can get a little crowded during peak times.
Honest and expert advice
“I visited Fade Aesthetic for a consultation and I was amazed by the staff there. Marita is very experienced in all skin problems in terms of tattoo removal, laser treatments and skin rejuvenation. The most important thing is that she gives you a true and honest opinion and advise you about what is better for your case even if it doesn’t require any treatment!!!
Loved the service a lot.”
