Redemption comes in many forms.
For Nick Sanchez, owner of Redemption Tattoo, the name of his shop reflects his journey.
The artist has built a successful business and a legion of fans who return to his chair time and again. But that success was hard-earned.
Sanchez had to turn his life around after a stint in prison. Later, he rebounded from the somewhat-sudden sale of his first tattoo shop.
Then came a journey of faith and, recently, a new family.
“I like the fact that he’s real,” said one of his fans, Ryan Kraemer, a Rancho El Dorado resident. “He’s not just a great artist, but he’s a real person and that’s what I like about him. It’s a very personal experience in there and I really like that.”
