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

Rahmat as the Operator for Tattoo Elimination said that since the morning until now 84 men and women have removed their tattoos. They are quite enthusiastic because they can delete them for free.

"Total sudah 85. Tapi hanya dapat menghapus satu bagian, karena ini sifat massa dan tidak baik kesehatan, khawatir fever," kata Rahmat saat ditemui di lokasi, Kamis, 13 April.

Rahmat explained that in taking action to remove his tattoo, prospective recipients must undergo several requirements ranging from health checks to anesthesia. The goal is to prevent unwanted things from happening.

"Check the lab, whether there is HIV and blood sugar or other diseases. Why do you check the lab, let the patient and the prosecution and others be safer. Then check the health check until finally to take action," he said.

Even for the work, he admitted that it took 15-20 minutes for the size to be large and the color of the ink to be black.

"If it's wider, it's okay, some are just finished in 20 minutes. If our width is limited to 2 ID cards," he said. On the occasion, Rahmad said that the habit of removing tattoos in South Jakarta was only held for today. The plan is that in the future it will be held in North Jakarta between Eid al-Fitr.

"Untuk di sini (Jaksel) hari ini. Selanjutnya dari event Baznas," ujarnya.

Deputy Mayor of South Jakarta Administration Edi Sumantri explained the goal of holding a tattoo removed service to perfect Muslims who previously had tattoos.

"Tatos can prevent ablution water from entering the skin when we wash it. So someone's ablution becomes invalid," concluded Edi.
