JAKARTA - A punk-style man named Bima (35) explained his reason for removing a free tattoo because he wanted to worship perfectly.

"I want to remove the tattoo because of my intention to repent and pray," said Bima when met at the South Jakarta Mayor's Office Mosque, Darul Jannah, Thursday, April 13, in the afternoon.

He also admitted that he received information about the existence of this tattoo delete service from a friend who informed him that the Baznas Instagram held the activity.

Hearing this, Bima was happy and immediately went to the location of this tattoo. Because for him, for himself to delete it in a hospital or a place of removal, it costs quite a bit.

"Seneng, because I can delete tattoos for free, because I can't remove tattoos, it's really expensive, right. I can't remove this tattoo," he said.

"I want to move like this 10 years ago," he said.

Previously reported, the City Government (Pemkot) of South Jakarta (Jaksel) collaborated with the National Amil Zakat Bandan (Baznas) to open a service to remove free tattoos at the South Jakarta Mayor's Office Mosque, Darul Jannah.

Rahmat as the operator for tattoo erasure said that since the morning until now 85 men and women have removed their tattoos.

"A total of 85 people. But it can only erase one for, because this is mass and not good health, worried about fever," said Rahmat when met at the location, Thursday, April 13.
