Company History

The company name originates from a popular style of tattoo in the 1990s and 2000s which many in my own age demographic regret. I have personally been getting laser tattoo removal for nearly as long as I have been getting tattoos.  I know firsthand the frustration, sadness, and regret that comes with poorly designed, poorly placed, outmoded, embarrassing, or ugly tattoos.  When I first started getting tattoos removed twenty or so years ago, laser tattoo removal was in its infancy, and nearly barbaric.  I remember the days of burns and scarring.  It was horrific.  But it was still worth it at the time to get rid of a hated tattoo.  In the years since, laser tattoo removal technology has advanced by leaps and bounds, changes I have witnessed in my own experiences with removal.  In my journey of tattoo removal, I faced many obstacles which I hope to eliminate for others through the creation of Sad Tribals Laser Tattoo Removal.  I intend to provide affordable (not cheap) laser tattoo removal to make this service accessible for everyone.
