Most of the news that we hear about tattoo removal comes out of the American media. Although laser tattoo removal is done in many parts of the world, it's a cosmetic procedure that has primarily been done in the United States. However, it appears that the trend is beginning to make its way around the world as more and more people are reporting on global tattoo removal.
We mentioned in the past that there are apparent similarities between celebrity tattoo removal in Hollywood and that in Bollywood. Because the fans of these stars tend to mimic their behaviors, there is a similar rise in tattoo removal in both of these areas.
Additionally, we're starting to see a rise in the use of tattoo removal as a method of rehabilitation for former gang members. These are programs that have been set up throughout the United States and which are now being taken to other areas (such as Honduras) primarily through the missionary efforts of those religious people who were involved in church-based tattoo removal programs.
Question of the Day: What has caused the recent surge in tattoo removal programs around the world?
