I have been having laser treatment since 1995 and although there has been a largely good response, some of the coloured inks have not been removed satisfactorily, leaving me with what appears to be bruising and unsightly markings. I have been left disheartened as I have spent a large sum of money and had high hopes for a better result. Unfortunately in agreement with my previous treatment facility it was felt that my journey had ended. My wife had been in contact with a lady who had commenced tattoo removal treatment with bellissimo ne and gave a very positive feedback regarding the actual treatment and the professionalism of Barry Crake at bellissimo ne. I was given his contact details and was impressed by how helpful and understanding he was, he was able to answer my concerns and questions with honesty and professionalism and when I attended for my first consultation was very impressed with Barry Crake,s absolute thoroughness, the establishment was clean and well presented and I instantly felt at ease. Barry gave me hope that I could achieve the outcomes I want with his treatment. He sat me down fully assessed my arms/tattoos and we developed a plan of treatment, he explained the importance of before and after care and gave me strict instructions of how to maintain the hygiene and wound care post treatment. After my initial treatment Barry consulted regularly with me by phone to offer advice and support, and to make sure that I was adhering to the treatment plan. My treatment with bellissimo is ongoing but I am encouraged by the results so far and the professionalism and support of Barry Crake and his team. Gary Finlay

I recently decided to give myself a treat and had my eyeliner permanently tattooed by Michelle Crake of bellissimo-ne. Michelle is very professional, efficient and extremelly patient. The lower lash on one of my eyes was being particularly stubborn and seemed to reject the tattoo, however Michelle has been more than generous and repeated the process to ensure I have been pleased and satisfied with the final result. I highly recommend using the services of bellissimo-ne and wish Michelle and Barry well in their future.

i am the process of having my tattoo removed, i have never seen a man so passionate and with so much entusiasm in the work and treatment he gives. i would recommend barry crake and his team anytime.

Ive had an awful tattoo on my wrist for about 4 years (a heart with wings!), but I got it on a whim and hated it. I heard of e-raze a few years ago and considered getting it removed then, the only places that did it were tattoo studios and I was going to have to pay about £400-£450! Id heard some bad things about laser removal as well; that it could scar you or that it might not even work properly, plus the expense, so I decided to put up with it. When I heard about Bellissimo NE in the Sunderland Echo I decided to get in touch and was getting my first tattoo removal treatment within a couple of weeks. I had my first treatment with Barry Crake in March this year. My second was a few weeks ago, and I couldnt be happier with the results! Even after just the first treatment the tattoo was almost gone and I think I should only need one more go. I think that the price is so reasonable considering the level of service and professional quality that Ive recieved so far. Barry has given me lots of sound advice before and during the treatment and he keeps regular contact to make sure everything is OK. Ive also been using the Cica Silicone sheet to aid in the healing of my skin once the scab has came off and its worked wonders. At first my skin was slightly raised, but after using this it went down within about a week or two, its fab. Thank God for Bellissimo is all I can say. I am over the moon about the exemplary service Ive recieved, so much so that Im getting a tattoo on my back removed next. I am happy to fly the flag for the very generous work offered by Barry and his wife Michelle Crake. I wish them every success with their ever growing business! Thankyou!!!

I had a bulldog on my arm for over ten years now and have wanted it removed for about the last four years. I read about the treatment Barry offered at Bellissimo and arranged a consultation. Barry was very proffessional and explained everything clearly, and explained the full process including the after care involved. I had my first treatment which is now healing and the results to say the least have been amazing! The after care service that Bellissimo have offered me after my first treatment has been first class. Even though it is my first treatment i will 100% be going back for second treatment, and i would no hesitate in recomending Bellissimo to anyone. The work Barry and Michelle undertake at Bellissimo which has been documented in the press is to be comended, and i wish them all the succes in the future. I would just like to take this ooportunity to that them both for all of their time and help.
