Mary Arnold-Ronish, CPCP, CPDA
Passed Away Following Back Surgery.
Mary Arnold-Ronish, CPCP is the Founder, President and CEO of both Professional Permanent Cosmetics, LLC. and Tattoo Vanish® Inc. She brings more than 30 years experiences as a Registered Nurse and 20 years’ experience in the field of Dermatology to the Cosmetic and Medical tattooing and the Tattoo Removal industries.
Prior to starting her own cosmetic and medical tattooing in 1992, and tattoo removal business in 2008, Arnold had decades of experience in the medical industry. Among other things, she began her nursing career, working in area hospitals, physicians’ offices, also serving as a business manager and dermatology nurse. Later, she was the director of marketing and operations for a large home health care organization with locations in Utah, Arizona, Nevada and Colorado.
Arnold founded Professional Permanent Cosmetics in 1992, employing her years of experience as a nurse and knowledge as a medical practice manager to create a quality Cosmetic/ Medical Tattooing practice in the Las Vegas Valley. Arnold quickly became one of the city’s most respected practitioners in the medical community for her high quality work, ethical standards, and for ensuring that the strictest sterilization techniques were used in her companies.
By being forced into being the “go to person” in Southern Nevada for corrections, Ms. Arnold, (after years of research and testing) opened the first ALL NATURAL, Non-LASER, NON-ACID method of removing tattoos and TATTOO VANISH® was born. Tattoo Vanish® utilizes a method similar to when the ink was put into the skin, thus, minimizing any potential damage to the skin. This new all natural (no acid, non-LASER) product and process has become so successful that it is now superior to any type of LASER removal. Tattoo Vanish® is less painful, requires 50% LESS treatments, and removes all colors, where LASER cannot. Arnold’s philosophy is that she has never run across any type of ink that cannot be changed or removed. Tattooing may be permanent but it is now changeable.
In 2005, Arnold wrote and sponsored a bill with the help of State Assemblywoman Valerie Weber, to raise the level of entry into the permanent cosmetic profession. After testifying before the Nevada Legislature, the bill passed unanimously in the Nevada State Assembly before being dropped in the Senate. Arnold has consistently fought to raise the standards in the profession and has argued for tougher regulations in the state, citing that Nevada currently lacks strict regulations and allows for essentially anyone interested in getting into the profession with very lax training.
Mary Arnold-Ronish has been a member of the Society of Permanent Cosmetic Professionals (SPCP), and is now a life time member since 1993. The SPCP requires all members to meet the highest standards of safety and technical ability. She is a past board of director (2003 – 2006), serving as director of health and safety. In her time on the board, Arnold was instrumental in orchestrating a special meeting with the approved pigment vendors of the organization to enforce higher standards for pigment manufacturers to ensure consumer safety.
Arnold was also responsible for gathering information, revising and rewriting and researching all of the many references needed to provide a defensible, non-biased exam for anyone wishing to become internationally certified as a “Certified Permanent Cosmetic Professional” (CPCP) for the organization. Today, thousands of practitioners have received this designation worldwide.
Arnold is also a member of the Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce, Nevada Woman’s Chamber of Commerce, National Association of Women Business Owners, Las Vegas Social Register, and the Better Business Bureau of Nevada. She also served on the board of directors for My Hope Chest, a non-profit organization dedicated to raising funds for uninsured and underprivileged woman in need of breast reconstruction following mastectomies from breast cancer. A constant philanthropist, Arnold donates her services to numerous causes. She provides pro bono areola and nipple recreation and repigmentation for any woman that cannot afford the procedure, ensuring that their psychological healing takes place in additional to physical healing following breast cancer
Arnold also provides no-cost ex-gang tattoo removal to any young person in the Las Vegas community wishing to start a gang-free life. Recently Arnold has become very active in fighting the Human Sex Trafficking in the state of NV. She has not only created at her own expense two very valuable training videos for the public use, but also will remove any tattoo that has been put onto these young girls (age 12-19) at no charge to them. Now these captures, (Pimps) will tattoo anything on the girls they capture. They are thrown into sex slaves and are tattooed to make other pimps know that the girl with his tattoo is “His Property”
In 2008, Mary was given the Athena award by the Nevada Woman’s Chamber of Commerce and later that year was inducted in to the Nevada State Woman’s Hall of Fame. In 2009 Mary was awarded the Woman of distinction (WODA) for her professional service in the community by the National Association of Business’s owned by Women, (NABOW)
An expert in her field, Arnold has written numerous articles for educating the public on permanent cosmetics and tattoo removal the Tattoo Vanish® way and “Preventing Cross-Contamination for the Permanent Cosmetic Professional”. She recently finished recording two different Tattoo Vanish® training DVD’S geared to the tattoo artist or permanent cosmetic artist. She has also written a Tattoo Vanish® training manual to use for training others with “Hands On” training sessions in her Las Vegas Facility. The Las Vegas Based Tattoo Vanish® facility has trained over 200 people from all over the world. .
