Reluctantly scheduled a tattoo removal after speaking with friends, but my intention is to do a cover-up down the line. I must say the staff was beyond professional and helpful. Mary talked me through the process and then provided details as the procedure progressed. Her comments really helped manage my expectations and helped mitigate my discomfort. I would highly recommend Evolve.

I found Evolve on Yelp and I’m so glad I sent in an inquiry. They responded promptly and professionally, included pricing info and were able to accommodate my schedule. I was nervous and super appreciate that Jordan talked to me throughout the (brief) experience ensuring I was doing ok. Definitely hurt but absolutely worth it, and I don’t even hate my tattoo, I just don’t love it. Thanks Evolve!

I have been working with Evolve on the removal of multiple pieces for several years now. THEY ARE STELLAR. I have only ever experienced authenticity with their team which I greatly appreciate given that, in many cases, removal can be a long-term relationship. I would never go anywhere else.

I’ve been going to Evolve for tattoo removal for about a year now, and I absolutely recommend it! The service is friendly and efficient, the rooms are sparkling clean, and it’s been very covid-safe throughout the pandemic. The progress on my removal has been amazing so far. 10/10 will continue to make appointments :)

The absolute best!!! I have been coming here since last year for tattoo removal and the process has always been top notch. From booking to the procedure everything has been amazing. I had great results the price is reasonable and the facility is so clean. Even after covid it I haven't seen a more procedure based by the book company anywhere. If I could give 10 stars I would. They have down a great job. Here's 5 sessions later on my ring tattoo

Words cannot explain how happy I am to have found Evolve!! I just finished my third session, and have been so happy with the results so far.
Mary has been incredibly kind and helpful since day one! During my first visit she was very informative, explaining the entire process and answering any questions I had. She makes me feel like her priority is to make me feel comfortable during our sessions which I appreciate a lot.
Every one is different during their tattoo removal process, but I have noticed a significant difference in mine already. It's amazing. I will forever be recommending people

Well first off if I could give this place 6 stars I would. Evolve tattoo removal share a place GURU Tattoo right by little Italy San Diego. When I walk in Cris Caram was there to greet me. Cris is the General Manager of GURU. I got there a little early for my appointment so Cris and I talk about the whole process of removing a tattoo. I was on the fence about actually going through with it but after talking with Cris I went through with it. Everything about my experience was first class. I wish to god I could remember the ladies name that actually did the procedure but she was an angle. She made

This is the best Tattoo Removal service in the business! I have a chest and back tattoo being removed and the results have been incredible. Results vary per tattoo but I can assure you the results you get from Evolve are the best and they will provide you with the best customer care on top of service and quality. Thank you Evolve for helping me with the removal of these garbage tattoos so I can open space for quality!!!

Got my first treatment on my ankle today! Jordan, the nurse, made me very comfortable and reassured me on any question I had about the treatment. She communicated all her intentions before proceeding with any treatment. I would definitely recommend Evolve for laser tattoo removal to anyone who is seeking treatment!

I got my eyebrows tattoo removed. I did two sessions. One session I did with Jordan, who is quick and professional. Another session, I did with Mary, who is very sweet, gentle, and detailed. She did a great job on removing every little detail on my eyebrows. Both are very good at what they are doing and accommodation to my needs. Thanks both!

Wow, I am blown away by the results and experience I have had at Evolve. I have had 5 sessions so far on a fairly large and dark tattoo, and it is already about 60-70% gone. The prices are easily the best in San Diego. I had consultations at several other clinics, all of which would have charged me more than double the cost of laser treatments at Evolve. The staff are so friendly and fun to be around, I truly look forward to my appointments. My specialist is so fast, too! I am always in and out in about 15 minutes. I cannot recommend this place enough!

My first session was great. The Nurse and staff in general was very nice and professional. I've had removal done before and this was by far the best treatment. I don't look forward to the pain but I do look forward to the next session. Take a look at the pictures I attached this place is as clean an professional as a hospital.

Long review but highly suggest reading it! :)
I have gone here twice and my third session is coming up soon. I have a God awful cover up ring tattoo that was an eye sore and not something one would want when newly single. So I decided to give Evolve Tattoo Removal a try. The place is clean and the employees are friendly. As for the procedure itself, because it's such a small area it was a 10 minute session. I left and it healed within the 6 weeks like they said but during this time I started googling and saw some literature on a different machine called Picosure instead. It claimed to be

So far so good. I've only had one visit and you can already see a crazy difference!
The staff was/is incredibly nice and helpful. The equipment looks new and their offices are very clean- you feel like you're at the right place for a service like this.
I have 4 more sessions to go and I am excited to see the results.

I've just wrapped up my seventh session and have had a fantastic experience at Evolve along the way. Over the past year, I have been working on zapping away a rather large full-color tattoo which runs the length of my torso. Yes, this requires a dollop of patience and a dash of eager masochism. However, I almost look forward (?!) to my appointments as Jordan does a wonderful job of ensuring that the process is as comfortable as possible. In fact, the Evolve staff as a whole have impressed me since day one when I called a couple of local tattoo removal spots and they were the only folks to

I want to give a major shout out to the folks at Evolve Tattoo removal!
I had two awful tattoo's from the early 90's that needed to be erased from the bad decisions in life... From the consultation to the final outcome, they were total pro's!
I had a total of 8 sessions removing about 95% of my terrible 90's tattoo's to start my amazing new sleeve tattooed by Aaron Della Vedova!
Anyone looking to just remove a tattoo or preparing for a cover up, I highly recommend Evolve!
Cheers,

Such an amazing experience! Evolve's customer service team was helpful and informative from my very first inquiry. They made sure I knew what to expect before I came in for my appointment, so I felt safe and comfortable coming in to remove my tattoo. My nurse was very sweet and was clearly an expert in removal, so I had no doubt that I was in the best hands. The treatment definitely hurts, but I chose not to use the numbing cream to see how well I tolerated the pain- it was more uncomfortable than painful, but the whole treatment only took about 8 minutes (even with me taking a couple 30 second

I've been coming over the past two years to remove three tattoos, on my wrist, inner arm and inside of my foot (ouch!).
I've seen slow and steady progress over my sessions, so you've got to be patient, these results (for the most part) are not overnight, it takes time and a few sessions. I'm on my 8th session and my wrist tattoo is almost completely gone so I've decided to no longer treat that area, and other tattoos have faded quite a bit over time, but still require treatment. The amount of sessions you need is also dependent on what your goals are.
Pricing is reasonable

I spent a lot of time looking for a reliable quality place to have one of my tattoos removed. I was nervous because it was on my hand and was unsure of the process and the scaring.
I met with Jessica and she answered all my questions and made me feel comfortable about the process. I had my first treatment and it was quick and easy. I brought a friend who also had treatments done somewhere else in the past and she was not happy with results. I stayed for her consolation and was glad I did. Jessica was so informative and honest with my friend, I learned a lot and it helped me feel that much more

I'm so happy with my experience at Evolve tattoo removal! I've wanted to remove one tattoo in particular for a while now but always thought it was going to cost me an arm and a leg. Luckily I ran across Evolve and was pleasantly surprised by the prices! It's even more cost efficient than other local clinics because Evolve Tattoo removal has the best laser in San Diego, I notice dramatic results after only 2 sessions! Holly and Jessica always make me feel welcome and comfortable. It feels good supporting local business owners who make every effort to give you the best experience.
