I would strongly caution women before booking tattoo removal appointments with Nick. During both my consultation and appointments, he repeatedly steered the conversation into overtly sexual topics that were wildly inappropriate and made me extremely uncomfortable. This included discussing sexual acts he likes versus dislikes and asking invasive questions about my sex life with my partner. These were not comments that would be appropriate in any setting, especially not from someone providing a professional service while I was alone in a vulnerable environment during a procedure. The interaction crossed major personal and professional boundaries to the point that I no longer felt comfortable or safe. His behavior felt predatory to me, and I ignored my instincts after the consultation and deeply regret returning for the appointments. After my experience, I discovered that other women had publicly described similar uncomfortable interactions with him in past reviews from many years ago, which made me even more concerned that this may not be isolated incidents. I am intentionally limiting identifying details including my actual name, because I do not want to be recognized, but I felt it was important to share this experience so other women can make informed decisions before booking with Nick. I will never return. read more

Super clean, knowledgeable technician. We sat down and came up with a game plan and how to reach my end goals. (a blend of removal and cover-up) Once I got in the chair, done in under 10 minutes. The paperwork took longer to fill out than the actual procedure. read more

I won't go anywhere else, Nick is hands down the best. Great location, great work, great space.

No rating Nick lied to me and beat me out of 75 dollar for 20 seconds of crap. He also did not inform me it would take multiple sessions Don't go here terrible service number read more

I can't express my gratitude for the workers here, they are amazing and make you feel so comfortable from start to finish, they explained everything thoroughly, and they answer all your questions even if it's a stupid question. They make the process so relaxing and for someone like me with anxiety it helped so tremendously. I'd recommend this place to anyone looking for tattoo removal. read more

Kallie is amazing! Professional, kind and knowledgeable. She has always been on time and accommodating. I would highly recommend her.

I had a consultation with Nick awhile ago now about my chest tattoo. I was in a fragile state of mind at the time and didn't think of leaving a review until now, mostly because of the response from two other women here. I remember showing Nick my chest tattoo and immediately feeling extremely uncomfortable. I had consultations at a total of 4 different places and none of them made me feel quite as uncomfortable as Nick did. I can't remember the exact words but I do know something hurtful was said about how the chest tattoo made me look physically. I was feeling pretty vulnerable emotionally and physically, and then to be looked at and criticized like this was hard on me. I remember barely making it to my car afterwards before I started sobbing. Thank goodness I did consultations at a few places and ended up at Northeast Tattoo & Fade Away Laser Tattoo Removal. They treat me like a human, which I didn't think was asking too much... read more

I've been going back to this place for two years now- I've gotten one tattoo removed and am in the process of doing another. I've had appointments with both Kallie and Nick, the laser technicians, and both are always so kind and comfortable to be around. Prices are affordable in my opinion as well, especially compared to some other tattoo removal places. In my opinion this is a really great place to get your removal done. read more

The facility is very clean and well-organized. The owner is very courteous and welcoming! Sessions are brief and relatively painless. Overall, highly recommend! read more

Edit: Nick why would I want to contact or want to talk to you, when YOU ARE THE PREDATOR. Be careful ladies! I NEED TO PUT THIS OUT THERE FOR ANYONE WHO VALUES THEMSELVES AND THEIR BODY I did two sessions with Nick. At first I was very pleased and very happy I found the right place to get rid of my past mistake. Turns out I made another mistake: not listening to my gut and going to two sessions before i felt so uncomfortable I couldn't bring myself to go back! Nick is the type of guy that could charm his way out of a parking ticket. You immediately start to feel comfortable and let your guard down. That's when his jokes start to get raunchy and he becomes unprofessional. He made me (and my friend who was there for support) so uncomfortable, all I could do is turn red and pray it would be over soon. From asking if I had a boyfriend, to different sex positions, to him asking me if I liked to be slapped.. Nick has no boundaries! I didn't have the courage to tell him to knock it off. So I just sat through it. I wouldn't answer his questions, My face would just turn red and I would awkwardly smile. That didn't stop him though and he kept on talking. What was I supposed to do? I was lying on my side while a guy who out weighs me by 150 pounds, was holding a powerful laser to my rib cage. As for the laser work: didn't see much of a difference after two sessions. He quoted me 6 sessions at $60 per session to lighten a dark green, yellow, red and blue tattoo enough for a cover up. As my later research told me those are the hardest to lighten. I have since searched for a better laser and a better place. It turns out Nick's laser isn't very equipped for colors. Maybe only black ink. And even then it takes twice as long as the Pico laser, at the new place I'm going to. I can now say I am in the process of successfully getting my mistake removed!!-- at least my first mistake. My second mistake, unfortunately I can't never get back:/ I guess you live and you learn!! Hopefully I can help someone not make the same mistake I made!!! read more

My free consultation was extremely informative. They let me know all the details of what would be happening with my laser tattoo removal. My first appointment is tomorrow and I found a great discount on Groupon. I will later post another review once my removal is completed after all my sessions! read more

I consulted at several laser removal clinics before I found Nick and Callie! I felt the most comfortable with them and best of all no BS. Gave me a straight up estimate and what to expect through out my tattoo removal process. I am on my 4th tattoo removal with them and wouldn't even think about going anywhere else. Very happy with my results and the customer service I receive. Love you guys! read more

I have nothing but good words. Nick is very personable and attentive. I was quoted for 8 sessions and was told that if my removal requires more than the quoted 8, the sessions would be on Nick. Nick kept his words and it seems I have about one more session left. The reason why my quoted session exceeded the 8 was because he adjusts the strength of the laser depending on how my tattoo healed during the previous session. He does this in order to prevent skin pigmentation. I mean if this doesn't scream awesome customer service then I don't know what to tell you. Lol. read more

I would not even consider going anywhere else for laser tattoo removal. Least of all an expensive dermatology center. My first laser session was at such a place and the experience was so bad that it took me a year to work up the nerve to try again. I am so glad I found Nick. I first met him at his old employer and have followed him to his new clinic. I echo other reviewers about the pleasantness of the space--very inviting. Nick is very professional and knowledgeable and has made my experiences the best they can be. Perhaps most important is that the laser works. The prices are very fair for the quality of the work. Oh, and you can schedule online, which is something I wish everyone offered! read more

Tattoo Removal Refined -The Best in the Twin Cities! Nick is the BEST removal specialist in Minneapolis or St. Paul. I first saw Nick at his former employer and we built a pleasant rapport. I wanted to book with Nick again, but found out he no longer worked at XXX in NE Minneapolis, but rather had a brand new shop all to himself in South Minneapolis. Renewal Laser Clinic, is clean, well decorated and My opinion it seems to be most sanitary conditions in the industry in the Twin Cities. I had a few consults in the Twin Cities before I decided to work with Nick. Nick is EASY to talk to and setting up an appointment is simple. Prior to Nick having his own shop, I OFTEN had difficulty setting up an appointment (I think this is due to the unprofessional phone staff at the former shop). Nick answers the phone and if not available he will get right back to you. You will also receive an email confirmation. I suggest you have a few consultations and then go meet Nick. You will never look back and only look forward to a fresh skin start. Renewal Laser is the ONLY shop in Minneapolis or St. Paul that preform JUST removal of tattoos. This is Nick's specialty and I would recommend him to any and everyone that is looking for removal. read more

I'm going to have to backup the review of another girl who stated that Nick can be really inappropriate. That's the whole reason I stopped going back. My laser sessions seemed to be helping, and he does work fast. But he once made comments of a sexual nature when I squirmed under pain. He would ask me who or if I was dating. He would make flattering comments regarding my appearance that probably were meant to be taken as a compliment, but it all made me very uncomfortable. Honestly, when there's a lot of creeps out there, you just want to feel safe when you're letting someone touch you. read more

Renewal Laser is the best place in Minnesota to get laser tattoo removal. It is clean and comfortable with a touch of class. The facility itself is very modern and has a wonderful atmosphere. I had been to other removal shops before that also focused on tattooing, the atmosphere was less comfortable. I always feel at home at Renewal Laser. Nick Settich is a great technician. I have never felt more comfortable getting a painful procedure than with Nick. He made sure to answer all my questions and explain the process to me. I love this place and will never go anywhere else. Nick is giving me the skin I need, taking away the bad ink that I dislike and giving me a whole new outlook on my body. Trust me this place is amazing. read more

I've had Nic do several sessions and my Tatoo is steadily lightening up. He does a good job and seem to genuinely care for his patient. I would definitely go back again. read more

I wanted to stop by Renewal Laser Clinic due to its stellar reviews only to be completely let down. Online, their voicemail, and even on their door says they open at 10am which obviously is a lie because I waited for about 30 minutes and called about 5 times and left 3 voicemails. Awful first impresssion and super disappointed as I was excited to stop by and get a free consultation feeling like this was the place for me because of all of the wonderful reviews. It is now 10:59am and No One has returned my call-- definitely not shocked about that part because why would they call me back when they can't even be there on time. It's stupid, if you are not going to be open at the time you say you will be open-- let that be known. Terrible. I not only wasted my time (which is very limited as I basically work 24/7), wasted gas, could've ran 3 other errands during my quick break from work just to wait 30 minutes wasting my life waiting for Renewal Laser Clinic to open and now I i can't do that because I waisted valuable time that I don't even have. The biggest disappointment is that I wasted my energy. Wasted my energy by thinking they would be great, by trusting the reviews, and most of all feeling excited for this new chapter in my life by getting a tattoo removal. What a Joke. read more

i wish i could give this place more than 5 stars! it's awful walking around with a crappy tattoo, but the idea of having a laser put to it is pretty frightening! that fear kept me holding on to a tattoo i've hated for almost a decade- until a friend recommended nick. im SO glad he did! this clinic is very clean, modern and in a great location. the prices are very fair, and the level of care you receive is great! nick is incredibly professional, knowledgeable and understanding. he also has lasered off many of his own tattoos, so he totally knows what you're going through. i always am given a bottle of water, ice packs, and many breaks between zaps to stay comfortable. plus, he's hilarious and fun to talk to, so the sessions are actually really enjoyable! words of advice- GET LIDOCAINE CREAM! i may have made a mistake getting my tattoo done, but waiting until i found this place was no mistake at all! read more

I had been to Renewal Laser clinic for a few treatments my tattoo seemed to responding to treatment-which is good. They were running over 20 minutes late for one of my appointments. When I mentioned that I needed to be done pretty quick because I was now going to be late to my next thing, Nick said not to worry it doesn't take that long. Ok. But it appears this ticked him off because the laser was SIGNIFICANTLY stronger this time. Almost intolerable. My skin hurt for over a week and was abnormally red for longer than normal and that had not happened on my previous treatments. I had been using numbing cream on my past treatments and couldn't feel a thing but this time it burn EXTREMELY BAD. Maybe it was intentional, maybe not. I will just move on and leave this out there for anyone to decide. read more

I'll never go anywhere else. I've been going to Nick since I moved to Minnesota and even before he opened up his own practice. Nick's extremely professional, easy to talk to, and fantastic a what he does. He'll even throw in a free vent session if you need someone to talk to about your day to day drama! read more

If you want the absolute best in tattoo removal, this is the place to go. Nick has been in the tattoo industry for decades and now he's doing tattoo removal. He's expertly trained and cares about the results. Tattoo removal isn't a drive-thru business. If you want it done right it takes patience. Nick does it right and doesn't leave scars. My experience has also been virtually painless as well. You will not find a better place to that tattoo you might wish you never got. Nick is your guy. read more

I love this place. It is clean, accessible, very comfortable, and there is absolutely no pressure at all. Nick Settich is a really great guy. He is extremely warm, caring, funny, and he has a great way of making you feel welcome and is so easy to talk to. We've had some conversations about what was going on my life at the time, and I can tell he genuinely listens. Do you know that old saying of "You can tell your barber anything."? This is absolutely Nick! I can't say enough good things about him! I've had 4 sessions with Nick so far. I have two tattoos that I am having him remove. One is a professional tattoo on my arm, and another is a homemade tattoo that I received when I and the person who did it were 13 years old. You can imagine the poor quality of the homemade tattoo. What I never would have been able to guess, is how much better I feel knowing that it is almost gone. The homemade tattoo is fairly large, but not very solid, and Nick has never charged me for the removal of it since we work on my arm in the same session. It is fading so fast, and it is almost gone! If I'm lucky, it will be 100% gone after my most recent session heals, or maybe just 1 more. It all depends on how my body reacts. Even before my fourth session, I could only barely see it in the mirror! The removal of the tattoo on my arm is showing some significant process, and fades more and more on every visit. One thing that I greatly respected is how he had once turned me away for a session. There were a couple small points where it had not yet fully healed (I had not noticed it) and when I came in for a session, he told me to come back in a couple of months, stressing that I needed to continue to apply lotion to it on a regular basis. Nick's goal is to make people happy with his services, even if that means he has to wait longer before he can perform them! I readily admit that I didn't take as good care of it as I should have. He was more than happy to remind me on the importance of it, and I'm going to be sure to follow his advisement in the future. I think tattoos can be great, but since I've had two tattoos that I have not liked for so long, it will be such a great feeling when they are both gone. In time, Nick will help me get there. When my tattoos are gone, I won't miss them. I will absolutely miss talking with Nick. read more

I cannot say enough great things about Nick. He's great at what he does, very patient, helpful and does an amazing job. I wouldn't go anywhere else and I have enough removals to do to keep him busy for awhile. Hands down great experience! read more

First class service! My wife has been working with Nick and talked me into it as well! Nick is very professional and knowledgeable. Most importantly, he cares about his clients. He made sure my wife and I were both comfortable with the process and what to expect. I highly recommend Nick and Renewal Laser Clinic. read more

Kallie and Nick are super friendly and professional. The location is clean and nicely decorated , definitely a comfortable environment. They explain the procedure thoroughly and genuinely care about your comfort throughout the laser treatment . The aftercare instructions are thorough as you can tell they want you to have the best results and experience. I would highly recommend ! read more

The idea of getting my tattoo removed absolutely terrified me. This is probably why I waited almost 10 years to have my tramp stamp removed. When I walked into laser renewal I immediately felt comfortable. The shop is updated, clean, and inviting. Nick is one of those people who make you feel at ease. After knowing him for 10 minutes I felt like we had known each other for years. Nick answered all of my questions before my session and also made himself available if I had questions after. He was also more than willing to be patient with me and take a lot of breaks. I never felt like an inconvenience, even though I'm sure I turned a 1 minute session into 30 minutes. Thanks so much for everything. I would never consider going somewhere else. Just finished my second session. I'll post pictures soon :) read more

Renewal Laser is great. The clinic is clean and classy, and Nick is a very nice guy. I've been seeing him for over a year now to get rid of a particularly stubborn tattoo, and he waives the fee if he doesn't see the results he wants. We've finally found the right combination of lasers that will get rid of my tattoo and it's gratifying to see the results. Very quick, professional, friendly service. read more

Renewal Laser is the best place in town to get your tattoos removed. Nick is extremely professional and the facility is always beautifully maintained. I recommend anyone and everyone looking into tattoo removal to go over to Renewal and at least have a consultation. Nick is extremely reasonable and will do whatever it takes to make the process as simple a straightforward as possible. I am extremely happy with my own results and know others who share the same story. read more

I am a very happy customer! Renewal Laser Clinic - Tattoo removal - in Minneapolis is awesome!! The first session didn't hurt at all, very professional, clean and a great price $$$. I have to share because I tried this 3 years ago with a different company and it didn't go so well. The previous company tried charging me $3,000 to get my tattoo on my ankle removed. It was such a bad and painful experience, that I never went back after the first session. I was just going to live with it, until someone recommended Renewal Laser Clinic- Tattoo removal in Minneapolis. He said my size tattoo would be $50.00 a session and it should only take 6-7 sessions. $3,000 compared to $300...... After 20 minutes of questions and answers, I decided to go in for a consultation. I decided to do it. Today was my first appointment and I was a little scared because of my painful experience 3 years ago. I was surprised but very happy that it didn't hurt at all. I then asked him "why do you charge a lot less then other places?" His answer was this, "I know a lot of people who want tattoos removed so I am offering a service that is doable for most people. Service first, making money second." WOW!!! Nicks heart is in the right place. He has found a win-win situation and is very successful because of it. He is very busy and booked with appointments because of other happy customers. I highly recommend him and his caring for great customer service shows!!! 5 stars!! read more

I feel so lucky to have found Renewal Laser Clinic. Nick is a total pro--very good at his work and also friendly, patient, and respectful. I couldn't be more pleased with the progress of my tattoo removal. Prices are very fair, and the clinic is spotless and pleasant. Highly recommend. read more
