Chris Simpson shouts in pain as Amy Sowers starts the tattoo removal process on one of Chris' amateur tattoos Friday afternoon, April 20, at the Skin & Vein Center in Fenton. "It hurt like the dickens," Simpson said. "But I'm dedicated. It may take a year, it may take a couple of years, but it's going to happen." The tattoo removal is an extensive and lengthy process, with every tattoo taking an average of eight to ten visits to fully remove, and six to eight weeks between each visit, allowing time for the body to heal. Immediately after his first appointment, Simpson came down with the flu and kidney stones.

No paywalls here. Thanks to you.
As an independent nonprofit, RNS believes everyone should have access to coverage of religion that is fair, thoughtful and inclusive. That's why you will never hit a paywall on our site; you can read all the stories and columns you want, free of charge (and we hope you read a lot of them!)

But, of course, producing this journalism carries a high cost, to support the reporters, editors, columnists, and the behind-the-scenes staff that keep this site up and running. That's why we ask that if you can, you consider becoming one of our donors. Any amount helps, and because we're a nonprofit, all of it goes to support our mission: To produce thoughtful, factual coverage of religion that helps you better understand the world.
