aren’t you who get to voice other opinions that aren’t your opinion. It’s a
good way to take your imagination for a walk.
I have seen a few pictures of your shop, I mean your office so I have to
get there soon.
My shop, my office. It has a neon sign and weird stuff in it and people
always think it’s a tattoo shop, or a club, or a bar or something. They walk
in and say “I need to talk to the doctor. I say “I am the doctor. They say
“No really, I need to talk to the doctor” And I say “No really, I am the doc-
tor.”
When I saw the pictures of your office I thought tattoo shop.
I have to be there all the time so I don’t want it to be boring. Nothing
good ever happened in a white room. Gotta make it interesting and relax-
ing for people to be there.
Let’s get back to Fresh Start for a minute. It’s not just in NY is it?
Fresh Start is national. We have like fifteen people who participate around
the country in different states. Some in Canada as well. A couple in Eng-
land, one in Germany. Again the idea is to help people with tattoos on
their face to get them off so they can work.
So what do you need for Fresh Start?
I need a new machine. The company that makes them, Quanta Lasers,
is working with me and they have offered me a machine at half cost
$150,000. They are regularly $300,000. So they are willing to give me one
at cost. So now I’m asking people for $150,000 so I can get the machine
and do removal at my office again. When I’m doing it it’s easier to ask
others to do it. I’m trying to get somebody who is wealthy or a corpora-
tion to write a check because it’s nothing to a foundation that gives out
$80 million a year or a person with $10 or $15 million who could easily
afford to write a check for $150,000. We’re a 501c3 not-for-profit so they
would get the tax exemption for the donation. So somebody out there call
me!
