A Long Beach, California based program is helping former gang members erase their past and make a clean start into the future. Teenagers and adults with gang related tattoos cald on their bodies will now have an opportunity to remove the unwanted marks of shame. These young adults are given the chance to have a future and get educated. Many former gang members find it difficult to fully assimilate back into normal culture - so having a chance to remove marks of their former life and gangs will aid in doing so.
Most former gang members also claim it is very difficult to find proper jobs and careers with tattoos doused all over their bodies. Erase the past will allow these people to have free sessions of laser tattoo removal.
