The early 21st century in one blog post: Tattoo Removal at the Free Clinic

Tom Wolfe has nothing on TheBillfold.com:

Jill: Well I got the tattoo when I was in law school. It is/was a huge celtic knot on my lower back. And I think I researched laser tattoo removal a few years ago, and found that it was way cost prohibitive. It was something like $400 per session and would take at least ten sessions.

Logan: Which is $4,000 total.*

Jill: Right. Which was way too much.

(…)

Logan: Did you front that you were an ex-gamg member to get your tattoo removed?

Jill: Nooooo. It’s open to the public now. It it did feel kind of weird, but it’s totally legit. You pay on a sliding scale depending on your income, $25 to $50 an appointment, which is WAY more affordable than other clinics or doctors or whatever.

Logan: Did you tell the truth about your income?

Jill: Yes, and that’s when I felt weird being at the free clinic.

Logan: Because you make a not-small amount of money.

Jill: Right. But they were very cool.
