    Dr. TATTOFF is the nation’s first branded chain of tattoo removal clinics. A word play on the phrase, the “doctor that takes tatts off,” Dr. TATTOFF is the leading tattoo removal company in the United States. Founded in the nation’s beauty capital, Beverly Hills, California, in 2004, the company has experienced rapid phenomenal growth. To date, the Dr. TATTOFF staff have performed over 15,000 laser treatments, operate three Southern California locations, and are considered the absolute experts in the field of tattoo removal. Dr. TATTOFF prides itself on being on the pulse. Each Dr. TATTOFF clinic is a state of the art medical facility. Waiting patients can check their email and surf the internet on waiting room computers or pop in one of their favorite films and watch it right there on one of Dr. TATTOFF’s plasma big-screen televisions. In launching Dr. TATTOFF, the purpose was to create a medical environment that would appeal to the type of person who has a tattoo. The genesis for Dr. TATTOFF started while Founder and CEO James Morel was living in New York in the late 1990’s. After days of struggling to find a place to have his own embarrassing tattoo removed, Morel realized that there must be millions of people like himself who had a tattoo they no longer wanted. Morel did eventually have that tattoo removed. Although he’ll never say what that tattoo was, his own tattoo removal experience led him to start Dr. TATTOFF. The Dr. TATTOFF partners have equally colorful stories, and in fact, include some of television’s most recognizable faces.

  • How to Avoid the Reality Show Relationship Curse
    How to Avoid the Reality Show Relationship Curse By Brea Gunn One more Hollywood divorce has entered the official records. Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries’ fairy tale marriage lasted less than three months. Say what you will, but I think that this whole mess could have been avoided if they made their relationship more private. When you live your life so publicly, I’m sure that it’s difficult to separate reality … from reality TV. Even so, it seems that many stars have been swept away with the ratings, only to realize that they aren’t as perfectly matched as they originally thought. Why don’t we start at the beginning of the end? Here are seven former celebrity duos whose relationships may or may not have dissolved as a result of being featured on reality TV: 1. Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey: We all fell in love with Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey on their series, Newlyweds. She was so sweet and innocent, and he was her protector. Unfortunately, they split shortly after their show wrapped in 2005. 2. Carmen Electra and Dave Navarro: This former couple took a run at reality television, too. They split while planning their wedding because they had agreed to air their plans on MTV and couldn’t make up their minds. 3. Hulk Hogan and Linda Hogan: Hulk and wife Linda split after filming multiple seasons of Hogan Knows Best. Related: Hulk Hogan Supports Ex’s Engagement 4. Jon Gosselin and Kate Gosselin: This duo lasted longer than most, but split during their series that focused on them and their eight children.

    NOW ARRIVING DAILY : THE ECONOMIC OUTPUT , JOBS , WAGES , AND CITY TAX REVENUE ATTRIBUTABLE TO LAWA’ S FILM -FRIENDLY POLICY December 2006 GREGORY FREEMAN MICHAEL MONTOYA NANCY SIDHU LAWA Film-Friendly Policy EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In this report, the LAEDC assesses the economic impact of Los Angeles World Airports’ (LAWA) post-9/11 film-friendly policy. The LAEDC estimated the total jobs, wages, and economic output generated by film crews working on location at LAWA properties during the four years, 2002 to 2005. The LAEDC also estimated the City of Los Angeles’ share of sales tax revenue attributable to the film-related activity. Total Economic Output, Employment, Wages and City Tax Revenue Generated by Filming on LAWA Property, 2002-2005 (Millions of Dollars, Number of Jobs) Economic Output $590 Employment 4,800 Wages $280 City of Los Angeles Sales Tax Revenue $1 Source: U.S. Department of Commerce, US Bureau of the Census; LAEDC Filming on LAWA property generated $590 million in total economic output in Los Angeles County during the four year period, 2002-2005. Economic output, also called business revenues, is the increase in gross receipts realized by all firms as a result of direct and indirect economic activity associated with the initial production spending at LAWA. Shoots on LAWA property also helped sustain 4,800 full-time equivalent jobs. This is an understatement of the actual number of workers, because many of them work part time. The 4,800 workers collectively earned $280 million in wages between 2002 and 2005. The City of Los Angeles collected $960 thousand in sales tax revenue on production company spending, as well as the spending of the direct and indirect workers.
