Our Mission
We started Northeast Laser Tattoo Removal in Minneapolis, Minnesota with two goals in mind:
- To provide professional tattoo removal services at a price you can afford; and
- To offer tattoo artists throughout the Twin Cities the opportunity to work with Northeast Laser to lighten tattoos for clients who are seeking a more attractive cover-up tattoo.
Our Unique Business
We are unlike a typical physician office or expensive medical spa. Northeast Laser is the brain child of tattoo artist Aleksandar Nedich and physician Thomas Barrows. We have over 30 years combined experience in our fields and we understand tattoos better than just about anyone. We have a deep understanding and knowledge of tattoo pigment chemistry, tattoo cover-up artistry, laser tissue interactions, and a strong professional commitment to our community. We can eliminate your tattoo if your goal is to clear your skin completely, or work with your professional tattoo artist in the community to fade your tattoo to the point at which a more desirable cover-up tattoo can be performed. We think you will agree that you have come to the right place when you visit Northeast Laser.
