Oh, suuuure, that MS-13 tat makes you SUUUUPER tough.
Right up until it might actually COST you something.
THEN it’s not so cool, huh.
There’s a really good book called Tattoos on the Heart about a priest who asked for and was assigned to the worst barrio in LA. One of the things he started was a tattoo removal service. I really recommend the book.
Getting an ID: SUPER hard, really expensive. Technical, tricky.
Getting a tattoo removed: A snap. Affordable. Uncomplicated, untroublesome
BEAM ME THE HELL UP..!
I wonder if ICE might be interested in this place.
$300 tattoo. $10,000 remove tattoo.
I wish I could have known about that.
Beautifying America one ugly-ass tattoo at a time. Thanks, Trump.
ROTFL! President Trump still putting people back to work.
Reminds me of Johnny Depps unfortunate tattoo. When engaged to Winona Ryder he had a tattoo done which read “Winona forever”. Well, she dumps him and he’s stuck with the tattoo. Now, does he have the entire tattoo removed? Nope. Johnny goes in and has the tattooist put a small rose over the “NA” in “Winona”. The tattoo now reads “wino forever”.
LOL

Another place for ICE to monitor
That was my first thought. They want to get their gang tattoos removed, to be safer.
Thinking of the SS guys who, after WWII, tried to get their tattoo removed from under their arm. The removal was just as obvious and they got nailed.
IMO, the removal of these tattoo would be just as evident, and be viewed as suspicious even though, in some of these cases it was innocuous.
First it’s the tattoos, then goes the Tiajuana auto accessories. Bye bye chrome chain steering wheel. So long dingleberry visor embellishment.
I can see a real opportunity here for Average American Makover Stylists.
One would think getting legal citizenship would be less painful.
More jobs for Americans, LOL!
As you say this is all about the tattoos that mark membership in violent Central American and Mexican gangs.
Those paying good money to have tattoos removed, the lawyers advising them and the media & NGOs providing the smokescreen know full well that tattoos with personal and not gang membership meaning put them at zero risk.
And Americans should be aware that since the "Latino community" knows that those gangs kill non-members who have gang tattoos, there is no confusing gang tattoos from non-gang tattoos and there is zero chance that any "Latino" sporting a gang tattoo is not a gang member.
Every Latino paying to have tattoos removed is removing gang tattoos and are or have gang members. Americans should not be fooled and ICE should stakeout all tattoo removal businesses in the community.
“and are or have gang members” = “and are or have BEEN A gang member”
