Tattoo MD is a laser clinic in Los Angeles, founded in 2005. It's founder and medical director is Alex Kaplan, MD. Tattoo MD was begun with the expressed purpose of specializing in laser tattoo removal at a time when such a niche market was not fully developed. Although dermatologists and other cosmetic surgeons had been providing laser tattoo removal as part of their larger practice, a clinic that specialized in just tattoo removal was uncommon.

Tattoo MD employs the Q-switched Nd:YAG laser for tattoo removal. Unlike previous laser technologies, the Q-switched laser is able to target tattoo pigments with minimal damage to surrounding normal skin.

Since its founding, Tattoo MD has gradually taken on additional services besides laser tattoo removal. Laser hair removal was added in 2005, Botox, Juvederm, and Radiesse in 2006, and the Vi Peel in 2008. An esthetician was also hired in 2008 to add the spa aspect of the business.

A location in Norco, California was opened in 2006 but sold in 2007. Currently, the Norco clinic has a different business name under the new owners.
