abstract="Gangs are noted for establishing their territory, flaunting gang affiliation, intimidating nonmembers, and documenting their &quot;services performed.&quot; These examples are a few reasons for the practice of &quot;tagging,&quot; the labeling of an area, person, or object with gang-related graffiti or markings, such as tattoos. This article describes a school nurse's response to gang &quot;tagging&quot; and her efforts to assist former gang members who request removal of their tattoos, to get them removed-in essence to D-TAG themselves from their gang affiliation. D-TAG is a volunteer rehabilitation program utilizing family and community interaction to support gang tattoo removal and direct activities away from gang affiliations toward alternative educational programs and life styles.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
