USA - We see tattoo shops all around town. It seems like it's a pretty big business. But did you know that tattoo removal shops do well too? We visited one shop called "What were you Inking" on 15th street in Denver.
Owner Jill France removes permanent body ink. She says business has been increasing every year. She says people remove their tattoos for all sorts of different reasons.
"Whether you want to get rid of someone's name on you, or you want to free up real estate because you love tattoos, you're covered in them and you want to get a new one," France said. "So, you have to remove an old one so you can get a new one."
France said she even had a girl walk in her shop with a "no regrets" tattoo. She said the girl apparently had regrets and wanted it removed the very next day.
France said the average tattoo removal treatment costs around $150 a session. It takes the average person between five and 15 sessions to get it completely removed.
For you entrepreneurs out there who might wonder what you can make by opening up a shop like this, France offers some insight.
She does all the work herself and says she takes home between $150,000 to $200,000 a year. That's the gross amount, which doesn't take into account any of her expenses.
"It's been fairly lucrative," France said. "I'm happy I take home a paycheck every month."
