Do a Google search for "tattoo removal" and your city name. That should provide you with a list of doctors in your area. If not, look up "laser tattoo removal" and you should link to some sites that list certified doctors. Price is going to vary depending on the size of the tattoo, colors, where you live, etc. Make sure your friend knows the removal process isn't a one-time thing; you have to go for multiple treatments at least four weeks apart. It's not going to be cheap either, I paid nearly over $1K to have mine removed, and it was VERY small. The good thing is, payment is made per treatment, so if your friend has the money now, she can have one treatment, then another 6 months from now when she has more money, etc. My procedure was done by a surgical dermatologist, but plastic surgeons can do the procedure as well, if they have the equipment and training.
