    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.
