So why would someone go to you rather than a board licensed dermatologist?
people generally do what is easiest/ most convenient...
(especially dumb people with dumb tats)
i think a well placed location, a good website (where i can quote prices based on submitted pictures), a well run twitter account and some good reviews on yelp could have me eating...
not to mention i'd be cheaper than a dermatologist and appts would be easier to make...

Why waste ur time and money going I college if u wanna start a business? Last I checked, a degree isn't a prerequisite for being an entrepreneur.

your right... i regret going to college. big waste of money, basically i went due to family/societal pressure. last time i let the man dictate what i do with my life...

apparently any schmuck with a laser can do it.. dont' need to be a doctor or anything
though if i open this i might just call myself a "doctor" for marketing purposes
Okay.
1 .Have you ever removed a tattoo or operated equipment to remove tattoos?
2. How are you going to practice using a real laser before using it on a real person? Get a guinea pig, find a friend to give it a prison tat (ball-point pen ink tattoo), then laser that little animal.
3. Where are you going to get financing for equipment? If you are going to go through normal channels of getting bank financing, you'll need a business plan.
4. What are you going to do if you accidentally screw up and permanently burn a person?
There are already people out there who have done just as you want to do, get tattoo removal equipment, advertise to draw customers - always cheaper than dermatologists. It's a win-win situation. Customer gets a cheap tattoo removal, you get money.
There's a liability aspect to this and I don't know if you want to forego getting insurance to cover yourself from injury claims, customer gets a permament burn scar and sues you. It's accidental but they still sue.
I'm throwing out the negative vibe because I don't support a person who doesn't have medical training performing, in reality, a surgical procedure.

But real spit john, you might as well become an all around dermatologist, takes years but its very profitable. The certified guys are the ones that are eating good... If you wana open your own studio, check ya state regulations, get that loan and get a piffy trademark and you on ya way
And you already know Philly is trying to crackdown on cosmetic procedures done by people who aren't licensed.
