MS 13


Since the regional crackdown on the Salvadoran based street gangs of MS-13 former members are at risk of getting deported by authorities or killed by hard core gang members. It is illegal to expose or "flash" gang tattoos in Belize and an MS-13 is certainly a ticket to shit creek without a paddle. I have covered up several MS-13 tattoos which has been very hard work. The one here had so much keloid scar tissue I lined it with a 9-needle tight configuration and did the shading with a 14-round shader. This is definntely not my best work but it is a major acheivement compared to what lies below. It is still work in progress and will have pics when completed. Plus I still have this guy's other arm and back to creatively cover up.
