Ensure Good Health Before Undergoing Tattoo Removal, Jakarta Zakat Agency Advises
Jakarta (ANTARA) - The National Zakat Agency (Baznas)/Bazis of DKI Jakarta Province has reminded individuals to ensure they are in good health before attending the tattoo removal service in Jakarta, particularly during Ramadan 1447 H/2026.
“If someone is unwell, their tattoo cannot be removed. It must be postponed for several days until the person has recovered,” said Deputy Chairman IV for Human Resources at Baznas/Bazis DKI Jakarta, Prof. Bunyamin, when met at Sunda Kelapa Mosque in Central Jakarta on Tuesday.
He said participants who have registered for the tattoo removal programme will first undergo a health examination before any procedure is carried out.
The health screening includes blood pressure measurement and blood laboratory tests.
He explained that participants must wait approximately 10 minutes before being asked to consult with a doctor on site. If the results of the health examination and the doctor’s assessment confirm that the participant may undergo the tattoo removal procedure, only then can they proceed to the next stage.
In the following step, participants will undergo anaesthesia using a cream applied to the tattooed area to be removed, approximately 30 minutes before the procedure.
The tattoo removal procedure is then carried out using laser technology.
“Only if they are truly healthy can the tattoo removal procedure be performed,” Bunyamin said.
During this Ramadan, Baznas/Bazis DKI Jakarta is providing free tattoo removal services with a target of around 1,000 participants.
Registration opened from 23 February to 4 March 2026, available online through the website baznasbazisdki.id/daftarhapustato.
The service aims to provide an opportunity for members of the public who wish to undergo a spiritual transformation and self-improvement through free, safe, and medically compliant tattoo removal.
“This is all being carried out by Baznas Bazis DKI Jakarta as a gesture of care towards those who wish to make a spiritual change and want to have their tattoos removed,” Bunyamin said.
