Pioneering black-and-grey tattoo artist Freddy Negrete was 12 years old and confined in the holding cell of a Los Angeles juvenile facility when an older teenager entered - covered in tattoos. Freddy was in awe, not just of the art, but of what it symbolized, and he wanted what this kid had: the potent sense of empowerment and belonging that came from joining a gang. The encounter drove Freddy to join the notorious gang La Sangra, and it didn't take long before he was a regular guest at LA County's juvenile detention facilities. By the age of 21, Freddy had spent almost his whole life as a ward of the state in one form or the other.
Enthralled by the black-and-grey tattoo style that in the 1970s was confined to the rebel culture of Chicano gangsters and criminals, Freddy started inking himself with hand-poked tattoos. Everyone wanted a piece of Freddy's black-and-grey style - gangbangers but also Hollywood starlets and film producers.
In a riveting narrative that takes the reader from Freddy's days as a cholo gang member to evangelical preacher to Hollywood body art guru to addiction counsellor, Smile Now, Cry Later is ultimately a testament to that spark within us all, that catalyst which gives us the strength to survive, transform and transcend all that can destroy us.
