Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have pledged to help a North Carolina man recently freed from prison by promising to pay to remove his face tattoo.

The superstar couple landed into Charlotte on Tuesday to meet with Paul Algarin and his family after he wrote to the reality star upon hearing of her work with prison reform.

Kim and Kanye made the special trip a day after attending the Met Gala in New York and were pictured with Paul, who was released from Central Prison in North Carolina last month after serving seven years.

Paul's twin sister Azaria wrote on Instagram the family had lunch with the stars before starting the procedure 'of removing [her] brother's face tattoos'.

She said: 'Recently my twin was released from central prison where he served an accumulation of seven years. He asked me for Kim’s address so he could send her a letter and I rolled my eyes and never sent it. Eventually my mom sent it to him so he would stop harassing us.

'Never in a million years did I think Kim would write him back (or even read his letter), fly in right after the met gala (not to mention her 4th baby is due at any minute), invest in our family & laugh / relate to us over the smallest things.

In 2013 reports say Algarin was charged with bringing guns to a Fayetteville high school

'Kim flew in to CLT with her doctor to have lunch with us and start the procedure of removing my brothers face tattoos.'

In 2013 Algarin was charged with bringing guns to a Fayetteville high school, according to local reports.

His mom Sonya added: 'Yesterday was a great day and also a long day coming. My children and I had the awesome opportunity to meet @kimkardashian and her husband @kanyedoingthings.

'Kim was there to grant a request that my son asked her assistance with which was to remove a tattoo from his face. Thank God she received his letter and was happy to grant his request.

'Her work and dedication to helping others restart their lives and move forward with a more positive start is something that I am extremely grateful for and most appreciative.

'Kim and Kanye taking time out of their busy schedules to come meet and sit with us was amazing and an experience we will always remember.'

The reality TV star began her social justice bids by petitioning President Donald Trump over the release of Tennessee grandmother Alice Marie Johnson in June last year.

Since the 63-year-old was pardoned by Trump after meeting Kim at the White House, she has joined campaigns to get other prisoners released.

Kim joined attorney Brittany K Barnett and has secretly funded the Buried Alive Project, which has helped free 17 inmates who were handed huge jail sentences for low-level drug offences as part of its 90 Days of Freedom project.

Some of Kim's campaigns have been well-publicized, such as former sex slave Cyntoia Brown, Jeffrey Stringer and Johnson, who spent 21 years in prison for a non-violent drug offense.

Kim helped get Stringer from Miami out of prison after he was locked up for more than two decades for a low-level drug case.

The reality star tweeted on Friday that she helped fund his case after he had been sentenced to life in prison.

The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star has since registered with the California State Bar to study law to become a fully-fledged lawyer.

Kim must also complete 60 college credits and then work as an apprentice at a law firm in San Francisco with the intention to take the Bar Exam in 2022.

Johnson was sentenced to life in prison in 1997 for committing a first-time nonviolent drug crime in Memphis. Kim first heard about her story from Twitter, and she knew something had to change.

Kim met with President Donald Trump at the White House in May to discuss the case. The following month, he pardoned Johnson.

Many convicts are now getting relief under new guidelines signed into law last year by President Trump.

The First Step Act allows some nonviolent offenders to earn credits for good behavior and thus an early release.

The news came just a month after it was revealed that Kim had also offered to pay the rent of Matthew Charles, a former inmate who was released from prison after serving 20 years of his 35-year sentence for non-violent drug and weapon charges.
