In this episode of The 411 Live, host Beverly Taylor explores the complex connection between tattoos and the world of sex trafficking. Joining her are Juan Bucio, a laser tattoo removal specialist; Nikki Hughes, a tattoo artist; and Laura Johnson, a survivor who shares her personal experiences and insights.

The conversation sheds light on the practice of tattoo branding in sex trafficking, a disturbing tactic used by traffickers to mark their victims as property, a form of modern-day slavery. Together, the guests discuss the emotional and physical implications of these tattoos and the journey toward healing and reclaiming identity.
