Bad Ink Laser Clinic was founded in 2021 by Erich Haley and Dr. Christal Dickun and born out of Erich’s negative experience getting old, poorly done tattoos removed for new, cover-up tattoos.
Like most people finally deciding to take the plunge and get laser tattoo removal, Erich did some basic internet research about the procedure and found a well-reviewed practitioner near him offering discounted rates. While the practitioner’s reviews were mixed, the practice had the most Yelp reviews, leading Erich to believe they were an experienced provider.
At Bad Ink Laser Clinic, we focus solely on tattoo removal and are passionate about tattoos and helping people to look and feel their best. We understand that people change, and life happens, so we firmly believe in the motto Change your look, Change your life®.
