Gang Tattoos - Removing Past Image and Moving On

Everyone has a past, it is just that some happen to be more "colorful pasts" than others.  Regardless of the depth of color, every person is entitled to the opportunity to improve his or her future.

Tattoos are worldly expressions prevalent in organized gangs used to mark devotion of brotherhood. Often tattoos of tears or dots are used to symbolize stature among gang members. Fortunately, after years of criminal trouble and non-sense living, some gang members decide they must break free from the brotherhood bondage and change their lives. 

Former gang members try to find jobs however failure follows countless job interviews when prospective employers come face to face with gang tattoos.

Tattoo Artist sets Record Increasing More than Number of Tattoos

If doubt exists about the thriving industry of tattoo removal, an article published by The Associated Press on June 16, 2008 (below) is a perfect example of what is supplying such great demand.
 
For several years on Friday the 13th, Elm Street Tattoo in the entertainment district of Dallas has launched a 24-hour tattoo marathon. This year it was tattoo artist Oliver Peck who literally etched his way into history. 

From midnight Thursday to midnight Friday, Peck completed 415 tattoos, of the perceived unlucky number 13 to scores of arms, legs, ankles, backs, thighs, and even a few rears brought up the end.
