Services
When you purchase a Wilkinson Tattoo Removal System, the hardware is only a minor part of what you are getting. The
most important part of your purchase is training based on over 20 years of experience by one of the leading Plastic
specialists in the world.
Due to our high standards of patient care, Wilkinson Tattoo Removals will not sell a system without the included
training. We offer several options, depending on your needs. The standard operator training will teach you all that you
need to operate the Wilkinson Tattoo Removal System safely and effectively.
Coming soon, we plan to offer a "train the trainer"
class for organizations purchasing equipment in large numbers. Finally, we have a special program available to non-profit
organizations. Please click on the options above for more details.
Operator Training
The overall cost for the training, which includes the equipment, is around $15,000 depending on circumstances,
number of people being trained, and any additional support requested.
Included in all training are the informed consent forms that were agreed upon by the State of Texas
when then Governor George W. Bush authorized the purchase of 24 machines for 12 initial programs. Litigation
in both laser-based and TOBIL tattoo removal results primarily from this omission, although there is
risk from technical mistakes. This is one reason that certified training is necessary, to ensure that a superficial
surface "burn" does not turn into a more deep burn or serious scarring.
Operating costs are minimal, including alcohol, unsterile gloves, dressings, and disposable needles
and syringes. During training, you will be given a list of materials and recommendations.
Very little maintenance is required with the equipment. In one case, after 12 years of operation the only
maintenance has been replacement of some parts in the delivery system. Once you complete training, your
organization will have access to technical support from our experts.

Trainer training programs are planned for the future. Please check back for details.
Support for Nonprofit Organizations
The Wilkinson Tattoo Removal system is ideal for churches, synagogues, mosques, community centers, and
other non-profit organizations. Special pricing and/or support may be available, please ask.
We have significant experience with non-profit programs, and may be able to provide ideas for
how to set one up in your area. For example, in one South Texas program, contributions from patients 18 and older completely cover the cost of supplies
and materials that are given to all participants. We also may be able to suggest grants or other sources of
funds to lessen the cash outlay required to set up a program.
The benefit to a social organization is the ability to steer salvageable young people who want to get away
from the gang or prison lifestyle into the head of the line for tattoo removal. Military recruiters in
particular can be your biggest supporter.
