Tattoos in prisons

MARKS OF THE SOUL

The following story begins many years ago, it is about recording motifs on the skin and not just talking about memories. They are interpreted as belonging to a group, sector or social class.

A slow and painful process, which was taking methods not so wild over time, as the Polynesians were retouched throughout his life to continue expressing beauty.

In concentration camps contrary to what was previously seen, the Nazis tattooed with the intention of identification and humiliation since, according to the beliefs of the Jews, the tattoos went against the law.

And as we forget about the stories of tattoos in prisons, they use different tattoos to communicate gang membership or sexual orientation.

There are tattoos like those used to mark cattle

Like every girl in town I know this kind of brands. When you see them, you know that cow or horse belongs to someone nearby.

Well, there are soul marks that are erased with difficulty.

In airports, tourist areas or even in the "pink" areas of the city where you live, pay attention to brands that speak beyond words. The pimps or pimps use tattoos to mark what is theirs.

*They use bar codes, the word "daddy" or even their own name to make it clear that this merchandise belongs to them.

On other occasions they mark them with the amount of money they "must" or need to generate to stay alive.

They apply an impressive mental game to each victim, threatening their relatives, creating a web of lies, making them believe that there is NO ONE that can help them.

They break their humanity and turn them into objects that they have to sell because there is a supply and demand.

If you ever open a little more your eyes you will see the different signs that cry for help.

Today there is more slavery than ever before in history. Mexico is one of the main countries with recruitment- destination- slave traffic.

We believe that we can help the abolition of slavery by sharing and raising awareness about this social problem that impacts every part of our cultural and economic systems.

Help us sharing this with your friends.
