This article is about a hulking white supremacist leader in Michigan, tatoos covering his body, including Nazi symbols and the word "hate," who has converted to Christianity. And this article tells about the transformation of his life and family.

I hear tatoo removal is awfully painful.

I remember reading about this last year.

It is great to read about some good news for a change.

Yippee! Good for him to realize hate only causes problems, and does not solve them.

The methods used are getting better, but it's still not a pleasant or quick procedure. It used to be the only way to get rid of them was to quite literally burn them away using something that looked a lot like an iron.

In more modern times, it's usually done with either microdermabrasion (basically rubbing the skin away until the tattoo ink is rubbed off) or a laser. Both of these can leave scarring and often fail to remove the tattoo completely.
