Words From Clients "I was incarcerated at a young age and made some really bad choices including getting tattoos on my face. Those days are behind me and I would like to move on. The only thing is that people look at these tattoos and automatically judge me and I feel very self-conscious and wish I had never gotten them. Please help me remove them.”

– Julian A

“Even though [my hand] tattoo is small, it still has a large impact on my job search. I now have a opportunity to join a police force in the area… I do not want to miss out of a great opportunity to be a civil servant and make a difference in the community…I would appreciate any help.”

- Steve P

"I want a fresh start to join the military, and I am tired of people looking at my teardrop and withdrawing from me."

- Joe S

About Fresh Start The Fresh Start Tattoo Removal Program, Inc. (FSP) is a community program that removes visible gang and prison tattoos off of former gang members for FREE to help them get jobs. “Visible” means tattoos on the hands face and neck only. FSP also serves survivors of human trafficking to help facilitate their recovery. Tattoo removal allows certain people to change their lives for the better and allows them to overcome a very large barrier to employment.

FSP began about six years ago when Dr.Dave Ores removed tattoos at no charge for this population in need. A good friend and international tattoo artist, Mario Barth (Starlight Tattoos), shared the idea to organize FSP into a viable community project.

“If you are trying to help yourself, we will try to help you” is the core concept of FSP. To date, we have served over one hundred people and improved their chances of obtaining employment with just a few seconds of laser treatment. Currently, we DO NOT have a laser machine and we plan to purchase two new medical lasers to restart the project ASAP. We require a Revlite Si Yag laser and the Accolade laser both by Cynosure, Inc. To that end, we formed a not-for-profit corporation (The Fresh Start Tattoo Removal Program, Inc.) and established 501(c) 3 status. We are now ready to accept charitable donations to buy new machines. We are also soliciting other MD laser providers in the USA to join the project and treat these people at no charge.

David J. Ores MD and Mr. Carlos Iansen Dr Ores removed the words “Baby Crip” from Mr. Iasen’s hands in 2006. Carlos was one of the first FSP clients and is an enthusiastic promoter of Fresh Start.

Why two laser machines? Most tattoos we remove are black ink, but many gang affiliation tattoos have blue, red ink or green pigments. The Revlite laser removes black and red colors. The Accolade laser is designed to remove blue and green inks. Visit Cynosure.com to see the laser machines.
