Welcome to the New Beginnings: Branding Tattoo Removal Program, a national philanthropic campaign offering free branding tattoo removal for survivors of sex trafficking. 

nb-branding-tattoo-removal-logo 

This pro bono service is open to all survivors of sex trafficking with branding tattoos.  Patients must have completed or be actively participating in a rehabilitation program or recovery support group affiliated with the National Trafficking Sheltered Alliance.  Patients are required to provide documentation from their case manager stating they are a sex trafficking survivor at a safe and appropriate stage of recovery to undergo tattoo removal.

The program is offered year-round.

While the ASLMS New Beginnings Branding Tattoo Removal provider directory lists only board-certified physician members, non-physicians can be involved in the program through their practice if their physician qualifies and has agreed to be listed on the provider directory.*

*ASLMS relies on the overseeing physician to understand their local laws and ensure that the medical professional is appropriately licensed to perform the procedures.
