Why we do this.
We understand tattoos can be a permanent reminder of a past someone is working to leave behind. Whether it is overcoming a health battle, turning away from gang life, escaping exploitation, or starting fresh after incarceration, we want to be part of your transformation.
Who qualifies.
Cancer survivors
Individuals looking to remove radiation marker tattoos used during cancer treatment.
Former gang members
Those who have left gang life behind and seek removal of gang-related tattoos.
Hate, racist or anti-social tattoos
Anyone wishing to erase symbols of hate and embrace a message of unity and personal growth.
Formerly incarcerated individuals
People reentering the workforce who want to remove tattoos that may hinder employment opportunities.
Survivors of sex trafficking
Survivors seeking removal of tattoos used as marks of exploitation or control and publicly recognizable as such.
How we determine eligibility.
Path to Clarity is designed to support individuals seeking removal of tattoos that are widely recognized by the public as symbols of gang involvement, hate, trafficking, incarceration, or exploitation, particularly when those markings create ongoing safety, employment, or reintegration barriers.
Some tattoos may hold deep personal or emotional trauma without being publicly identifiable. While these may not qualify for full sponsorship, we will always do our best to offer compassionate alternatives and reduced options when possible.
How it works.
Final eligibility decisions are made after review and consultation. Participants must reside in Massachusetts or be able to travel to one of our Massachusetts locations for consultation and treatments.
