The American Academy of Physician Assistants (AAPA) requested a 1,200-word story about physician assistants who volunteer to remove tattoos from former gang members who are trying to get their lives back on track. This cover story for PA Professional, AAPA’s member magazine, profiles the Homeboy Industries tattoo removal program in Los Angeles and physician assistants who volunteer there. The story was reported from Washington, D.C.
