In collaboration with the S.F. Department of Public Health, and its Community for Health Programs for Youth (CHPY) CARECEN SF’s 2nd Chance Tattoo Removal Clinic is the only FREE community-based laser tattoo removal clinic in San Francisco. Our clinic is one of our busiest programs, welcoming youth and adults 13 years and older on the third and fourth Tuesdays of the month. Under-resourced people can have access to this process and therefore gain a second chance at life without the stigma that comes with having violence- or trauma-related tattoos that can further isolate, pose a threat to personal safety or prevent them from gaining employment.
