Detroit Non-Profit Helps With Community-Changing Tattoo Removal

A non-profit organization in Detroit which helps people get their tattoos removed for free is celebrating its tenth anniversary this month. The Detroit Hispanic Development Corp. offers a number of different services to members in the community which assist them in developing themselves and contributing to society. These services include everything from GED classes to STD screening. And yes, one of these services is laser tattoo removal. (Learn more here.) Many of the people that receive assistance from the Detroit Hispanic Development Corp. have pasts which are checkered with stints in prison, years in gangs and other negative experiences. Many times, they received tattoos which commemorate these experiences. As they try to re-enter society, they often find that they have a difficult time because employers and others look at these tattoos and simply can't see past them. Laser tattoo removal lets them get rid of the unwanted tattoos so that they have a fair chance to show the changes that they've made since the time when these tattoos were first received. The Skin and Vein Centers in Detroit are the ones that provide the skills to remove the tattoos. Using standard laser tattoo removal technology, they make these procedures affordable to the non-profit agency to do their part in assisting the community.
