Local Event: Ink 180 Tattoo Removal Demonstration

Join us as we hear from Chris Baker of INK 180.

INK 180 provides free tattoo cover-ups or removals for victims of human trafficking or tattoos left from a former life in a gang. Chris transforms the painful reminders of the destructive situations into beautiful art and gives them a fresh start without that painful reminder. Chris will share with us the work of Ink 180 and will demonstrate a tattoo removal LIVE for us that night.

Chris provides his time, supplies, artwork, entirely free of charge to the victims. He is currently linked up with virtually every police depart in Northern Illinois and receives referrals from the FBI and Homeland Security. His work has been featured in numerous articles, documentaries, and was highlighted in the U.S. State Department’s 2013 Trafficking in Human Person’s Report.

Event Cost is $5. All proceeds benefit Ink 180.
