Dr. TATTOFF didn’t invent tattoo removal, we just happen to be the experts at it. In actuality tattoo removal has been around in one form or another for a really long time. The first earthly prescription for tattoo removal is from the Byzantine physician Aetius who wrote, “First clean the stigmata with niter, smear them with resin of terebing, and bandage for five days.”

Surgeon Lionel Wafer described an attempt to remove a tattoo from the face of one of his companions during his travels in the mid-1600s. In 1879, the Daily Democrat of Sedalia, Mo., ran a story titled, “In a Bad Fix”, which describes the plight of a jilted society woman who’d had her former lover’s name tattooed on her leg.

Tattoo removal has been around since tattoos have, but Dr. TATTOFF has perfected it into an art!
