If you’ve ever thought about getting into aesthetic services, tattoo removal classes offer a powerful gateway. The demand for clean, safe, effective tattoo removal is growing fast, and knowing how to do it right means you can build trust, deliver impressive results, and build a successful business. At Minnesota Brow Lash & Medspa Academy, our laser tattoo removal training course gives you the skills, insight, and hands‑on experience needed to excel in this field.
Below, I’ll walk you through what makes good tattoo removal classes, what to expect, and how our program at Minnesota Brow Lash & Medspa Academy (MN Brow Lash & Medspa Academy) stands apart as of mid‑2025.
Cultural shifts & personal change: More people regret tattoos or want them modified as life evolves. Whether for job reasons, aesthetic preferences, or to remove personal reminders, tattoo removal is no longer niche.
Improved technology & safety: Lasers today are more precise, with better systems for handling different inks and skin tones. The risk of side effects has dropped if procedures are performed by well‑trained technicians.
Regulation & consumer awareness: Clients increasingly ask for proof of training, safety protocols, licensed practitioners. This pushes providers to invest in proper tattoo removal classes more than ever.
Business opportunity: Adding tattoo removal to an existing medical spa, clinic, or even a beauty/esthetic service portfolio can increase revenue streams significantly.
Here’s what you should look for when comparing courses. These are the things that separate ones who get solid outcomes from those who learn just basics.
| Component | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| Laser Physics & Safety | You need to understand wavelengths, pulse widths, how lasers interact with skin and pigment. Without safety protocols fire‑risk, pigmentation issues, or burns increase. |
| Skin Anatomy & Pigment Knowledge | Different pigments (black, coloured, cosmetic tattoo makeup) respond differently. Plus skin type (especially melanin levels) influences treatment settings and risk. |
| Hands‑On Practice with Live Models | Theory helps, but only practice builds confidence. Real skin behaves differently than fake skin. |
| Regulatory & Licensing Info | Rules vary by state or region. Good classes explain what permits, medical oversight, or licensing you’ll need. |
| Aftercare, Side Effects, & Risk Management | Being able to manage expectations, treat side effects, avoid complications is part of professionalism. |
| Business & Client‑Consultation Skills | Marketing, pricing sessions, determining number of treatments per tattoo, client communication — all matter. |
Minnesota Brow Lash & Medspa Academy’s tattoo removal classes are designed to cover all the essentials above — and more. Here are features from our program as of June 2025:
We offer a 2‑Day Laser Tattoo Removal Training for those who want focused certification in tattoo removal techniques.
The training is part of broader offerings in our Laser & Advanced Medical Esthetic department, including a 2‑week fully immersive course. This ensures students who take the 2‑day program—or the 2‑week program—understand the full scope of laser work, pigment removal, safety, etc.
Classes are led by master educators with real experience (for example, Susan Chapple, Andi LaBuhn, and Holly Yonker Stoviak) who teach both theory and hands‑on practice.
Students engage with live models during their training so they can apply what they’ve learned in real client situations.
Post‑training support is available; MN Brow Lash & Medspa Academy offers ongoing guidance and opportunities for apprenticeships.
Certification is awarded on completion of the 2‑day course and in the longer programs. MN Brow Lash & Medspa Academy ensures that you leave with proof of skill and knowledge.
Let’s look at a hypothetical case based on what’s being reported by graduates.
Example: “Jessica’s Journey”
Background: No previous laser work, esthetician license only.
Course chosen: 2‑week Laser & Advanced Medical Esthetic Training at MN Brow Lash & Medspa Academy (includes tattoo removal segment).
What she did:
First two days, full classroom work: laser physics, skin anatomy, pigment behaviour.
Hands‑on live‑model work for tattoo removal sessions (with instructor present).
Business module: pricing per session, how many sessions typical for a black‑ink tattoo vs multicolour, how to manage client expectations.
Outcome: At graduation, Jessica felt confident setting up tattoo removal services. Within 6 months she booked ~30 clients, with average per‑session cost in MN Brow Lash medspa range (≈ US$90‑US$250) depending on tattoo size and complexity. Her safety record was clean; she received referrals and repeat clients.
Here are questions to ask yourself (or ask the academy) before enrolling in tattoo removal classes:
What are the prerequisites?
Do you need a license (esthetician, cosmetologist, medical)? Do you need prior training in laser or anatomy? MN Brow Lash & Medspa Academy often has no prerequisites for some programs, but some state regulations may require oversight or supervision.
How long is the training, and how much hands‑on work is included?
A shorter class (like a 2‑day intensive) may teach basics and safety but maybe less case exposure. Longer courses allow working with real clients under supervision, which builds confidence.
What equipment/laser systems will you train on?
It’s helpful if you see the actual devices, understand maintenance, safety features, and understand limitations. The ability to work with different pigment types and skin tones is essential.
What certification will you receive — and is it recognized?
Will the certificate satisfy state licensing boards or medical director requirements? MN Brow Lash & Medspa Academy offers certifications relevant to Minnesota licensing and esthetics laws.
Support after the course: apprenticeships, refresher training, help with acquiring equipment, finding a medical director (if required) are big pluses. MN Brow Lash & Medspa Academy aids students in finding medical directors and helps with equipment sourcing.
It helps to know what clients are asking you—or what you’ll be expected to deliver. Here’s a rough guide:
| Tattoo Factor | Estimated Number of Sessions* |
|---|---|
| Small, single‑colour (black), amateur tattoo | 4‑8 sessions |
| Professional black tattoo | 6‑12 sessions |
| Multicolour or cosmetic tattoo makeup | 8‑15 + (depending on ink type & skin tone) |
| Large or dense work / old ink | 10‑20 or more |
*Sessions spaced several weeks apart (often 6‑8 weeks) to allow skin recovery. These numbers are estimates; results depend on pigment type, skin, aftercare.
Putting together everything above, here’s why MN Brow Lash & Medspa Academy stands out for tattoo removal classes:
