do not appear to work. Your employee should consult their health care provider or a dermatologist.

I have seen various charities and even police/probation departments offering free or low cost tattoo removal treatments. Some of those are aimed at gang and hate tattoos, but some are aimed at any tattoos (i.e. regardless of meaning or location or reason).

I would try searching for tattoo removal programs (in the nearest large city if you are rural or suburban) nor just tattoo removal service providers.

Given laser removal is expensive and painful, many folks go with coverup tattoos of some kind. Lots of people are sporting black sleeves these days; but there are decorative tats that simply do a good job of hiding what's underneath.

And ... I have no clue, but I'm going to predict that cheaper/less-painful tattoo removal will be an ongoing area of research for the next many years as people grow tired of their younger ink choices.
