In El Salvador, having tattoos can be a dangerous association. Authorities have launched a systematic crackdown, arresting anyone with ink, as tattoos often signify gang affiliation. These markings can reveal not only gang membership, whether it’s the notorious Barrio 18 or Mara Salvatrucha 13 (MS-13), but also rank and even the number of kills. This severe approach forces individuals to live in constant fear, resorting to makeup and other means to hide their tattoos. In this video, we delve into the harsh reality of living with tattoos in El Salvador, where the ink on your skin can determine your fate. Discover how these individuals navigate their lives in hiding amidst an aggressive campaign against gang-related tattoos.

This documentary was produced by Ligne de Front and directed by Vincent Prado. It was first released in 2021.

  1. It's extremely easy to sit here and think the worst of these guys. I do. But what would we do if we were in their shoes? Would you starve yourself and if you had family starve them as well? It's easy to judge but what's even harder, it's to understand. We don't understand what we don't know.
