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 twenty-one, Freddy had spent almost his whole life as a ward of the state in one form or the other. Enthralled by the black-and-gray 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-gray style--gangbangers but also Hollywood starlets and film producers. In a riveting narrative that takes the reader from Freddy'sdays as a cholo gang member to evangelical preacher to Hollywood body art guru to addiction counselor, 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" -- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Negrete, Freddy $v Biography. 650 0 $a Gang members $z Los Angeles $z Los Angeles $v Biography. 650 0 $a Gang members $v Biography. 650 0 $a Tattoo artists $z Los Angeles $z Los Angeles $v Biography. 650 0 $a Tattooing. 650 0 $a Tattooing $x Social aspects. 650 0 $a Tattoo artists $v Interviews. 700 1 $a Jones, Steve, $e author. 941 $a 1 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20200724010818.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=FBCF0210CD7211EABC1FA90E97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
