The Importance of Laser Tattoo Removal
Whether you’re currently operating a nonprofit, are in the process, or are contemplating starting one, most non-profits have the same goal: to change lives and make a difference in the world. Laser tattoo removal is an incredible nonprofit program to initiate because it does just that. As stated previously, laser tattoo removal is a transformative tool. It is the only noninvasive method that can safely, quickly, and efficiently remove ink particles from the body without causing damage to the surrounding skin tissue.
Furthermore, laser tattoo removal changes much more than one’s outward or cosmetic appearance. This advanced procedure restores confidence and self-esteem, removes barriers of unfair judgment, creates employment opportunities, and frees people from a hurtful past. Astanza is the leader in non-profit laser tattoo removal and has partnered with numerous nonprofit organizations, including Homeboy Industries, the largest gang rehabilitation and re-entry program in the world, to carry out our mission of changing lives and helping individuals start a new leaf.
Laser tattoo removal nonprofits usually provide free or low-cost services to previously incarcerated individuals or ex-gang members who have visible tattoos on the face, neck, and hands. By removing gang-related or highly-visible tattoos, these individuals can secure better job opportunities and are not misjudged based on their appearance alone. Many correctional facilities also use laser tattoo removal to reduce recidivism and help inmates preparing for re-entry who wish to break free from their past mistakes.
Other nonprofit organizations use laser tattoo removal to help human trafficking survivors remove tattoos that once defined them as someone else’s “property.” Laser tattoo removal provides freedom to victims who were once abused and severely mistreated. In addition to laser treatment, many non-profit organizations also offer life-skills counseling, educational courses, training workshops, and more to further aid individuals in need.
One thing to note is that just because you are a nonprofit doesn’t mean you have to give away your services at no charge to everyone. Many of our nonprofit laser tattoo removal providers offer a blended rate where they charge market prices to those who can pay and provide discounted or free services to those in need. In addition, if you are indeed a 501 c3 non-profit, you can accept donations and have a different tax status when purchasing items or paying taxes. Consult your tax attorney if you have questions.
