The study found that 88% of the program's clients desired tattoo removal to transition to a healthier life, with 81% reporting success in achieving their goals after tattoo removal.                STORY 3: Peachtree Corners Man Filed Fraudulent Insurance Claims For Fake Hospital Visits Kenneth Allen, a Peachtree Corners man, is being sought by state investigators for allegedly defrauding his insurance company by submitting fraudulent claims for hospital visits that never occurred.

The investigation revealed that the hospital visits never happened, and the documents used to support the claims were forged. Allen received approximately $6,100 from these false claims.
