Life Changing Tattoos!
Most people who don ink will admit to having a tat or two that they may regret to some level. It may be the name of an ex-girlfriend, an ex-wife or a badly executed tattoo received from a less then reputable shop they stumbled into drunk one night. However, some people have tattoos that have much a much wider and considerably more offensive tone to them. We are talking about racist tattoos.
Southside Tattoo in Baltimore, Maryland has made it a mission to help these people who now regret ever having gotten that ink and what it stands for on their bodies.
Dave Cutlip, the owner of Southside Tattoo explained to the online publication GOOD “It started because someone came in and asked me to remove gang tattoos from their face…” “I could see the hurt. But to be honest, I couldn’t help them.”
When Cutlip discovered how and why the man had gotten the tattoo (while serving time in prison) and how is goal now was to be a “productive member of society he was incredibly moved. Because despite the man’s new approach to life “… while he’s on his job, people are following him around because he still kind of looks like a gangster.”
Cutlip’s wife convinced him that they should make it their mission to help as many of these people as they can. Either through raising money via GoFundMe (to date they have raised over $21,000) so people could receiver laser removal or send them money to pay for artists who cannot afford to do cover-ups for free. Cutlip does all his racist cover-up work for free.
Now a symbol of unity!
