1 SEEKS METHOD
FOR REMOVING
TATOO MARKS
NEW YORK, Dec. 10 (by Assocl
ated Press).—A simple method t<
obliterate from the faces of thousand!
of Armenian girls and women th<
\ brands and indelible ink tattoo mark!
placed upon them during the war bj
Turks, Kurds and Arabs is sought bj
Dr. Wilfred M. Post of Princeton Uni
versity, who has just returned from a
trip through the Near East.
The victims of the branding and
tattooing in every case were Chris
tians, and their captors thus marked
them as Mohammedans. Freed from
enslavement, they sought at once to
remove the evidence of their bond
age, employing disfiguring acids for
the purpose. Many of them flocked to
the relief hospitals, Dr. Post said, to
be treated for the self-inflicted burns.
Dr. Post, who was born In Turkey,
and served as a medical missionary
in that country before the war, said
the tattooed women were among hun
dreds of thousands of destitute per
sons in that country who are being
cared for by the Near East relief
workers from America.
“While removal of tattoo marks can
not be classed with the urgent neces
sity of providing food and clothing for
800,000 starving Armenian women and
children,” says Dr. Post, “the wearing
of this brand, which shows that the
woman has been an inmate of a harem,
seriously interferes with the work of
our reconstruction and rehabilitation
among such persons. During the four
__
years that Turkey attempted to ex
terminate the Armenian people by a
system of slaughter and deportation,
practically every young woman in that
country was at the mercy of the Mo
hammedans.”
Removal of tattoo marks has never
I been given serious attention, accord
I ing to prominent dermatologists. Oc
casionally a request has come from
a former sailor to have some design
removed from his arm, or a society
| woman who wished to have the ini
tials of her former fiance or husband
removed, but the known processes of
removal have been so dangerous and
their success so questionable that
physicians have considered the marks
to be practically irremovable.
Several prominent dermatologists
have offered their services to Dr. Post
to assist him in his research work for
the benefit of marked Armenian
women. Among those who are aid
ing in the work is Dr. George H. Wash
burn of Harvard, who served in the
medical corps of the United States
army as a specialist in restoring the
faces of soldiers who were disfigured
by wounds.
