I was part of a crew of tattoo artists that introduced a new style of tattooing to the tattoo world called black grey realism, but I grew up as a cholo gangster.
Freddy Negrete's life reads like a Hollywood script, but it's all too real. In this episode of 'The Way Out Podcast', hosts Charlie and Jason sit down with the legendary tattoo artist to explore his tumultuous journey. Growing up in East L.A., Freddy's early years were a whirlwind of abandonment and abuse, setting the stage for his immersion into the Cholo gang sub-culture at just 12 years old.
Art was his escape, and graffiti became his first love, eventually leading him to revolutionize the tattoo world with his black and grey realism style. But the gang lifestyle came with its own demons, and Freddy found himself spiraling into heroin addiction. His story is a rollercoaster of highs and lows, marked by incredible talent, tragic losses, and an ultimate redemption through sobriety.
Freddy's tale is a testament to the power of community and finding one's purpose, offering hope to anyone battling their own demons. Tune in for an unfiltered look at a life that defies the odds and celebrates the resilience of the human spirit.
