Built by a 24-year tattoo artist who knows exactly what it took to put it in — and exactly what it takes to get it out. No MediSpa. No guessing. Just results.
Every other removal clinic in Moncton is run by aestheticians who learned tattoo removal from a weekend course. I'm a tattoo artist with over two decades behind the machine. I understand ink depth, skin layers, color theory, and the psychology of why people get — and regret — their tattoos.
That knowledge doesn't just make me better at removal — it means I can tell you honestly whether a cover-up is a better option, how many sessions you actually need, and what results are realistic for your specific ink. No upselling. No false promises.
Complete erasure of unwanted ink. We map out a realistic session plan based on your specific tattoo — size, ink depth, color, and age. No surprises.
Working with a tattoo artist on a cover-up? We lighten existing ink to give your artist the cleanest possible canvas. This is where my tattoo background is your biggest advantage.
Want to keep part of a tattoo but remove a specific element? A name, a date, a design that no longer fits? We can target specific areas with precision.
Microblading, permanent makeup, or cosmetic tattoos that have shifted, faded wrong, or simply aren't what you wanted. We handle these with extra care.

We look at your tattoo, discuss your goals, and give you a straight answer on what's realistic. How many sessions, what results to expect, and exactly what it will cost. No pressure. No sales pitch.
Every tattoo is different. We build a plan specific to your ink — considering age, colors, depth, skin type, and whether you're going for full removal or fading for a cover-up.
Our Pico laser delivers ultra-short pulses that shatter ink particles without burning surrounding tissue. Sessions are 10–30 minutes. You'll see visible fading after the first treatment.
Your immune system clears the shattered ink over 6–8 weeks. We space sessions to maximize results and protect your skin. Most clients reach their goal in 5–10 sessions.
Pricing is based on tattoo size. Extra-large or complex pieces are quoted after a free consultation. Package discounts available for multi-session commitments.
Sleeves, back pieces, large complex tattoos — priced after a free in-person assessment.

Tattoo Artist · Studio Owner · Removal Specialist
I've been tattooing for over 24 years. I've owned and operated multiple studios. I've put thousands of tattoos on thousands of people — and I've watched what happens when someone regrets one.
The problem with most removal clinics isn't the technology — it's the lack of tattoo knowledge. When you understand how ink is deposited into skin, how different pigments behave, and how the healing process works, you make dramatically better decisions about how to remove it.
FADED exists because Moncton deserves a removal studio that actually comes from the culture. One that gives you straight answers, a realistic plan, and results you can see.
"I went to two other places before FADED. Cory looked at my tattoo for 30 seconds and told me more than the others did in two consultations. The results after three sessions are unreal."
"I needed my old tattoo faded for a cover-up. Cory actually called my tattoo artist to coordinate. That level of professionalism doesn't exist anywhere else in Moncton."
"Honest, direct, and actually knows what he's talking about. He told me exactly how many sessions I'd need and he was right. No upselling, no BS."

It depends on the tattoo. Amateur ink on lighter skin can clear in 3–5 sessions. Professional tattoos with heavy ink and multiple colors typically take 6–10 sessions. During your free consultation, I'll give you an honest estimate based on your specific tattoo — not a vague range designed to keep you coming back.
It's uncomfortable — I won't lie to you. Most people describe it as a rubber band snapping against the skin. Sessions are short (10–30 minutes), and we use a cooling device to manage discomfort. Most clients find it very manageable. If you've sat through a tattoo session, you can handle this.
Older Q-switched lasers use heat to break up ink, which is slower, requires more sessions, and carries higher risk of scarring. Pico lasers deliver ultra-short pulses (measured in picoseconds — one trillionth of a second) that shatter ink through acoustic pressure rather than heat. Fewer sessions, faster results, less damage to surrounding skin.
Pico technology is effective on all colors, including the notoriously difficult blues and greens that older lasers struggle with. Black ink responds fastest. Lighter colors like yellow and white take longer. During your consultation, I'll assess your specific ink colors and set realistic expectations.
We space sessions 6–8 weeks apart. This isn't arbitrary — your immune system needs time to flush out the shattered ink particles. Rushing sessions reduces effectiveness and increases risk. Patience is part of the process.
Absolutely — and this is one of my specialties. As a tattoo artist, I understand exactly how much fading your cover-up artist needs. I can coordinate directly with your artist to make sure the lightening is optimized for the new piece. Usually 2–4 sessions is enough for a solid cover-up.
Keep the area clean and dry for 24–48 hours. Avoid sun exposure, saunas, and intense workouts for a few days. We'll give you complete written aftercare instructions after every session. It's straightforward — the healing process is mostly hands-off.
MediSpas offer tattoo removal as one of twenty services alongside Botox and facials. It's not their specialty — it's a revenue line. At FADED, this is all we do. And unlike every other removal provider in Moncton, I'm a working tattoo artist. I understand ink at a level no aesthetician can match. That knowledge directly improves your results.
Your first consultation is free. We'll look at your tattoo, talk through your goals, and I'll give you a straight answer on what's possible and what it will cost. No pressure. No obligation.
