From Prison to Purpose: A Tattoo Artist Who Found God

Popeye Ray

Once caught up in gang life and prison, Jaime’s story is one of redemption and transformation. Now a respected tattoo artist in West Covina, he uses his craft and his testimony to reach others who are struggling with the same darkness he once knew.

In this powerful conversation, Jaime opens up about his childhood in East L.A., the pull of gang culture in the ’80s and ’90s, his time behind bars, and the moment God changed everything. From backsliding to starting a men’s Bible study that now draws dozens each week, his journey is a raw reminder that no one is too far gone for grace.
