Follow Our Road to Opening: Laser Tattoo Removal in Myrtle Beach
Vanishing Ink started with a simple idea: create a tattoo removal space where people feel comfortable changing their story—whatever their reason may be.
We’re building it from the ground up, and we want you along for the journey.
✓ THE IDEA
Complete
The vision for Vanishing Ink was born: a dedicated tattoo removal studio combining advanced technology, transparent pricing, and compassionate care.
Our mission also includes creating opportunities to provide complimentary tattoo removal for individuals who may need a fresh start.
✓ VANISHING INK LLC
Complete — September 2026
Vanishing Ink LLC has officially been formed in South Carolina.
We have a name.
We have a mission.
And now we have a real business.
✓ BUSINESS FOUNDATION
Complete
Behind the scenes, we’ve built the foundation needed to turn Vanishing Ink into a sustainable, long-term business.
This includes our business model, treatment philosophy, pricing strategy, financial planning, branding, and community programs.
● LICENSING & COMPLIANCE
In Progress
Tattoo removal is more than buying a laser and opening the doors.
We’re working through South Carolina’s regulatory requirements and developing the professional and operational structure necessary to provide treatments safely and legally.
Our priority: doing this the right way.
● FUNDING
In Progress
We’re actively exploring funding and investment opportunities to help bring Vanishing Ink to life.
Funding will support major startup expenses, including laser technology, our future location, build-out, safety equipment, insurance, licensing, and initial operating expenses.
You don’t have to be an investor to be part of our story.
We’ve created a GoFundMe so friends, family, future clients, and members of our community can help bring Vanishing Ink to life. Every contribution—big or small—gets us one step closer to opening our doors and creating a space rooted in choice, compassion, and second chances.

● LOCATION SEARCH
In Progress
We’re searching for the right home for Vanishing Ink in the Myrtle Beach/Horry County area.
The goal is a space somewhere between a modern tattoo studio and a boutique medical aesthetic practice—welcoming, private, elevated, and never intimidating.
● BUILDING OUR TEAM
In Progress
Vanishing Ink is assembling the qualified professional team and oversight needed to provide safe, compliant, and responsible laser tattoo removal.
Our priority is hiring an experienced, appropriately qualified laser professional to perform treatments, supported by a Medical Director who will provide the level of medical oversight required for our treatment model.

○ LASER ACQUISITION
Upcoming
One of our biggest milestones will be bringing Vanishing Ink’s tattoo removal technology into the studio.
We’re evaluating advanced picosecond laser technology designed to treat a broad range of tattoo colors and skin types.
The technology we choose will be a major investment—and one of the most important decisions we make.
○ BUILD-OUT
Upcoming
Once the location is secured, we’ll begin transforming it into Vanishing Ink.
Planned spaces include:
Consultation + photography • Private treatment room • Reception + waiting area • Aftercare retail • Office + storage
Every part of the space will be designed around privacy, safety, comfort, and the Vanishing Ink experience.
○ TRAINING & SAFETY
Upcoming
Before opening, we’ll complete equipment-specific training and finalize our laser safety program, treatment protocols, documentation, informed consent, emergency procedures, and aftercare standards.
Because getting open quickly isn’t the goal.
Getting open correctly is.
○ SOFT OPENING
Coming Soon
Our first appointments will begin with a limited treatment schedule.
This gives us the opportunity to refine every part of the Vanishing Ink experience—from consultations and photography to treatment, aftercare, and follow-up—before expanding appointment availability.
○ GRAND OPENING
THE BIG ONE
The doors officially open.
The laser is ready.
The team is ready.
And Vanishing Ink begins helping people make room for whatever comes next.
