INK 180 is a gripping and challenging documentary on the life and work of Chris Baker. It is a bio of one man ’s inspirational journey down the path of a 180 life change. Chris Baker works with law enforcement agencies to cover-up the tattoos of human trafficking victims.  Since 2011, the ministry exists to offer the opportunity for a real second chance to the least of these, the invisible, the forgotten, the discarded.  Chris provides his time, supplies, artwork, entirely free of charge to the victims. The goal of Ink 180 is to establish a national network of tattoo artists and dermatology groups providing free tattoo cover-ups or removals. Chris was recently highlighted in the U.S. State Department’s 2013Trafficking in Human Person’s Report, page 23, and was an invited guest of Secretary of State John Kerry at the state house dinner and report presentation.
