ABOUT ABOUT

Wanted by Homeland Security. Wanted by the FBI. Wanted by the Chicago Police Department. Chris Baker is the most wanted tattoo artist in America.

In a race against time, this unlikely tattoo-covered hero works tirelessly to remove the ink from people who are locked in battles for their very lives. “I love tattoos,” says Chris, “but there are some tattoos that just shouldn’t exist in this world.” For most people tattoos are a sign of individual expression, but for victims of sex trafficking, or those escaping a gang life, these markings can lead to brutal deaths. Through the Ink 180 shop doors files a stream of changed individuals, desperate to be rid of the perilous ink on their bodies. They come looking for a selfless man they heard could change their lives forever, and are amazed to discover that at great personal cost, he does all his work for free.
