Artist Covers Up Racist Tattoos For Free

Dave Cutlip of Southside Tattoo Parlor in Baltimore has a plan for people who want to start a new life. He will give you a tattoo to cover up an old racist or gang-related tat for free! Cutlip and his wife Beth just want to do some good, but when word got around, everyone wanted to get in on the act. Now Dave and Beth are launching a non-profit organization called Redemption Ink to help folks get beyond the tattoos they now regret. They are recruiting tattoo artists in other areas to provide the same service, and using donated funds to purchase laser removal for those who require more than a cover up. (via reddit)
