There seems to be a common ebb and flow in the world of tattoo removal programs that are designed as a form of rehabilitation. People in non-profit and government work recognize that there is a serious value to be gained from offering tattoo removal services to troubled youth and former gang members. As a result, they launch a program that provides these services. Then there is a funding cut and the services disappear until more money can be located.
That appears to be the case with a tattoo removal program
in Arizona that is being cut (along with a variety of other programs) due to a problem with the budget and the organizational model that had helped to put this important tattoo removal program into place.
There are only twenty three young adults currently participating in the tattoo removal program so some might say that it's not a horrible thing that this program has been cut due to funding. However, if twenty three lives can be changed by something as simple as laser tattoo removal - and those people then no longer get in trouble with gangs or can't find work because of their tattoos - then that's a big change for the area that isn't going to happen if funding can't be found.
