How can you leave your gang-life behind after 20 years in prison? For Jose Reyes in Tijuana that wasn’t easy, especially because the judgement he got due to his facial gang-tattoos.

Luckily Jose finally has a job now, at a call-center. His boss doesn’t care about his tattoos or his past at all, as long as he does his job well.

Jose decides to remove his facial tattoos, even though it’s expensive: ‘I feel this part of me is in the past. Getting rid of these tattoos can change my person’.
