Santa Monica, Calif.- Some Angelinos can get their tattoos removed for free, compliments of Steven Popkow, M.D. this family practitioner has had special training in dermatology. He has purchased his own Nd: YAG laser and is offering to remove gang tattoos for patients referred by Volunteers in Parole, the Hollywood Sunset Free Clinic, Venice Family Clinic, Los Angeles Clinic and Seventh Day Adventist Church.
Dr. Popkow is willing to do this free to help people leave their gang associations in the past. He grew in up in East Los Angeles near Montebello and has tried to serve that population. This is a continuation of his need to serve people in need. Dr. Popkow has done thousands of laser procedures with great results.
Some of the patients are:

-A physician assistant who wanted to remove a tattoo from his forearm where it is visible under a short-sleeve smock. He would like to have it redone on his deltoid where it will be hidden from his patients. Call this a tattoo transfer if you will.
-A woman had a rose removed from her ankle when the colors faded and it no longer looked good.
