“It’s the kinda pain that make you want to punch a baby”
*Doctors bring a baby in the room*
Mmm yes. I get that feeling all the time
Ankthestar didn't that guy had a nazi sign tattoo 😂
@@カリナちゃん a swastika?
Baby’s: *Don’t even think about it...*
The mom getting hers removed didnt even flinch
I know madness
motherly strength
Im sure getting a couple laser treatments doesnt compare to squeezing a human being out of your body lol
Well she also got shot..so that pain Ain't shit
Cici Blue Your momma a boss bitch nigga
this randomly popped up in my feed, who else?
No, we all searched for this video
Th0rn3d i said “who else” not “everyone here randomly got this video in their feed.”
Me
Lovixq when?
Th0rn3d No idiot I was recommended this in my recommendation, so don't try to represent everyone...
Honestly I’m really glad that this man does this job he is helping so many people and that’s so wonderful 🥺
Leslie Martinez the priest who runs the program is amazing. i saw him speak at my church a few years ago and it was so moving
Last year, I visited homeboy industries. It was so great that these people who were in bad situations get jobs and tattoo removal. I saw father Greg Boyle and read his book. Such a great person.

when vice lets the people do the talking ... the documentary always turns out better
True
so true
+Mohamed Ali Could not agree more!
+Mohamed Ali This is why Vice is great, and very important.
+Cobra This is probably one of the only good documentaries vice has made. Every other one is full of their leftist opinion and you never see the full picture, ESPECIALLY if it has anything to do with social issues.
Women: *starts making noises*
Me: *turns down volume*

I think it's too late for me
Tyson’s Variety channel 😂
I just skipped it
Why can't Vice cover stuff like this more often? This is some good shit.
omg ur likes are at 333 lol
Because lots of ex gang members don’t want there face on camera specially when removing gang tats because gangs don’t take taking off their tats lightly it’s a form of betraying them.
Cause it takes to long to edit. Most docs like this you look back at the dialogue and match it with specific moments. So far a voice over is much faster but yeah quality goes down
It sounded so wrong when the woman was getting her tattoo’s removed 0:52
IKR
Lol
It’s hilarious how the vid came out in 2016 and we’re watching it in 2019 😂
You actually are that immature
LUCID Laroofy bruh stfu we can’t laugh about something ?
I expect to see 6ix9ine here in the next episode of this.
This underrated af
Snitching azzzz
Aceman i sure you’ll do the same to get ur sentence down to 47 to 2 years
enhancedignorance tell that to tay k💀
Especially since hes being released soon
Former gang member: “I knew at 5 years old, I wanted to be a gang member.”
Me at 5 years old: *cant even decide what LEGO set I want*
Me at 5 sold my soul to the cartel 😢

Austin Henson ... watch that video and you know what that comment is about
UH duh. who the hell just gose to videos just see the coments. think man/girl
Austin Henson well if you dont like my comment then dont write on it,
Everybody gangsta
Until a laser eraser had them pain
Literally
The one on the eye lids didn't budge one bit. I was surprised. Lol
Luke Gazda that's how you know he saw some shit
@@nikam.3979 thats how you know hes experienced enough pain and just expects it at this point. Thats why he cant let go of the street life. It gets to a point where you feel that no matter what path you choose, pain will follow you because of your past so you end up just saying screw it and sticking to what you know, even if what you know causes you and your family much pain. You just figure even if you left the life youd still cause as much pain.
@@Calilou52 Or maybe he has a highly pain tolerance... I don't know, just saying...
0:28 that’s my step dad. I also know almost everyone else here, hell I worked here and it’s an awesome experience at Homeboy industries. The story’s the people have to share here are amazing and heart breaking. It’s opens your eye and mind.

You know the guy getting his eyelids laser removed?
"they shot me there too, but that's ok."
HOW!?
Crazy ass chick huh
good job on this one vice
agreed
Foreal, Vice if you reading this we want more inside coverage of these lifestyles
I know right?I actually subsrcribed because of this vid
Mmm...
just join a gang guys u will see alot of thus stuff 😉
Now this was the vice I subscribed to. Thank you
Amen
Yuppp
This piece was very well done in my opinion. Although I must say Vice has certainly fallen victim to the political masturbation of late. #entertainme
Kinda pain that makes you want to punch a baby.
What a lovely person 😂
🤣
the point is, it's UNBELIEVABLE pain... just for those who don't get it.
it's not just a baby. He wanted to punch baby Jesus 🤣
I really respect these men. Growing up
1:45 lmao I didn’t know cardi b was in the vid
LetHimDelay u slow asf
Sour Lemonz wtfff she does sound like her
JustLuis exactly 🤦♀️ it had the time stamp right there he/she slow
Facts
I have a very sensitive skin. Have to be careful with whatever I put on my skin. I came to know about your natural tattoo removal through one of my friend who visited you before. Well, finally I am getting rid of that ridiculous mickey mouse tattoo and absolutely NO skin irritation!!! [ Helping Guideline Here EasyTattooRemoval5.blogspot.com ] Friend. my .heartfelt thanks to you for your wonderful product.
what he is doing is really hard. just showing his face can get him in problems. this shows the ones with real strength real guts to actually admit being a gang member got him no wear and there is no point of doing this crab. good job Homeboy and vice.
This was pretty interesting, too bad it was only 5 min..
+Bryan Drift Next up on Vice: a Three hour, two part special on the sex lives of meth hookers :U
amazing people man. God bless the people who make that change in their lives.
At the tattoo removal place my friend went to they had a cryo-genic gun thing that made the area cold before the laser shot at it. Cold skin plus hot laser Equals less pain.
Big guy: aww that hurts I want to punch a baby. Mom: talking calmly
childbirth
Good people still exist. Great documentary
Sensei Rio no once you set your mind to a gang your gone you belong to that world no such thind as a half way crook then why would it be roght the other way lmao
that's the kind of pain that will make you punch a baby. lolololololololololololo
It hurts when the women is getting them off her back, now imagine the guy on the eyelids 😶
0:42 *DID SHE JUST SPIT ON HIM?*
@Eklavya Gupta Lol
Tf dude I wanna unsee this shit
that bitch is fuckin nasty
@@mondale3456 XD
@@ari8069 ikr same
Huge respect for the gangs who are trying to come back to the society to start their own life
they need to make a series on home boy industries there making a change helping people correct there wrongs
Yeah the dude that wrote that book and started homeboy industries came to my college and they made us go listen to his speech, but it was well worth it good man 😊
That white dude at 1:23 was so funny "That's big league!"
Whoa, this is the rawest vid I've seen you do in a long time, Vice.
Y aren’t they using a white laser they remove black tattoos just as well but dont hurt the skin nearly as much
Or like blue idk but white or blue
Maybe money reasons?
@@johnwick7583 probably
Just tape a LED light then done
Money
Nah it isnt money u litteraly just need to change an atachment at the front
Why did this just get recommended to everyone😂 this was post 3 years ago
one of the best vice segments i've seen. good job.
Finally a good report from vice not some biased political bullshit
Real talk though? This is political. Offering job training and free tattoo removal is not something the current administration would support, especially when it comes to rehabilitating for ex-cons and gang members. Especially especially if those former gang members are Latinos.
1:50 the woman int his shot sounded like cardi b for some reason 😂😂😂
It’s the Ghetto accent
I crave my tattoo off my body like a pumpkin because I’m Asian
Ghixy exactly...
Teenage girls: "I do this every day but I dont have tattoos."
Makes no fucking sense
Bass Lover I eat with chopsticks because I’m Asian.
Now that makes sense
What
For some reason the mom getting her tattoo removed sounds like cardi b
She’s Hispanic
CarsonLovesYou okay and? Being Hispanic doesn’t have anything to do with her sounding like cardi b
Everleigh Moore dumbass, he’s saying she has a Hispanic type accent fucking tard trying to start shit
@@everleighmoore9744 ArE YOu TRYiNg TO bE RAcIsT??
Eric Gamplayer you are the one trying to start something. You are the one cussing and name calling at a person you dont even know. You are so disrespectful. Learn some respect. Second of all, I thought he was replying to the person that said she sounds like cardi b and so that’s where I got that comment from.
This really made me happy seeing these people trying to get better, good luck to you all
More of this Vice.
That guy really wanted to be a gang member since he was five? That's just sad...
LP it's the environment
Giorno Giovanna wanted to be a Gang Star
Squishy Bob is that a jojo reference?
Ik im late, but sometimes gang members are the only people you have to look up to. If you don't have a father figure, but you grow up in a place where almost all of the men in your neighborhood are gang affiliated, those become your role models. Those become the people you want to be. They sort of accept you and sometimes you feel that those are your family, and you feel obligated to join. So personally I don't think him wanting to be a gang banger is sad, but its sad that no one else tried takin him on a better path.
L P not everyone had a life like you
1:26 when you step on a lego
Good for all of you changing your life! So proud of you! And thanks for all involved who are helping these folks. Thank you so much!
3:50 oh boy they spelled villains wrong.
wettosixecho the whole shit is fucked up lol
They also need to do more videos with Homeboy Industries
Man that’s heartbreaking what happened to that guy, he went through the psychological transition to step up and get them removed, then to be kidnapped and new tattoos put on him. I hope he’s ok
My uncle because he passed away worked at homeboy industry and he loved it. That place brings so much positively and good vibes
Dude wtf that lady started moaning at 0:50 ish and my parents thought I was watching porn =P
Same 😂
I was watching this on tv shit was loud 😂🤦🏽♂️
Adrian Macaroni same
Bruh that’s sucks lol
and that spanking
I miss my good old Cali y la gente, I'm glad they are doing what they are doing helping people out, enriching their lives
The gang members wanna know you're location
Jose Spanish your*
Oh look auto corrected
Albert Rios,
Your’r’e
That tattoo removal ain’t no joke... I had one taken off my arm and it took 2 years to get it totally removed cuz you gotta give it a couple months to heal in between treatments ... But the pain was worth it, well worth it!!!
I’ve had a couple removed and for me getting tattoos is less painful than getting them removed
"If you're here and you're thinking about it, I'm here to make it happen" I LOVE that quote because some people just need that push to fly
Spelled Villains wrong it says Villians might be because of the thug life literature is hard LMFAO 3:51
+Gary Sim i want " no regrats" on my for head
Austin Henson Haha i would have BIGGIE Wayne on my forehead
lmao xD
And on my cheek I'll have my kid and under it "be stong"
Gangs usually spell words different. Writing with swag lol. It's true though
this the shit we want vice and good job for all those people making a change
Always makes me smile when I see these people wanting to get out of such a bad life and start fresh!
The thumbnail made me think they were putting an infinity stone in his eye...
Why does the lady at 1:45 sound like Cardi B
Latina
Might be her lol
Hell nah ion hear it cardi voice way more annoying
Dead ass
But does she even feel pain tho she ain’t even move
I commend all those people taking that step I can only imagine the difficulty and old rivalries that may still haunt.
Very good video from VICE :)
Doc needa remove that shit above his lip
I’m from Detroit and all of these amazing ppl remember me about so many ppl who I have lost and family🙏🏽❤️
0:42 mom wasn't too happy hearing those sounds coming from my phone
it's never too late
Would love to see the whole story
whats up with that doctors mustache tho
perhaps it was a tatoo
Lol whenever I’m there I’m looking at his mustache
Orale
1:45 she sound like cardi b
"They shot me twice...but um it's okay."
That sums up life folks
Part 2 please!!!! More stories. anyone else agree?
+david moral hell yeah I think we need more focus in the good in the world and support those involved
That's pretty cool. I wish things like this were offered for all people leaving prison.
+K0sm1cKid, SWIMlovesyou that's a great idea. And a job training program for selected inmates to learn how to operate the laser.
Good job, Vice. These types of social programs need to be more known, not only for people involved in similar situations, but for the public. Gangs are not the problem, they are a symptoms of a greater issue. This goes for your story on PTSD from gang violence. Fantastic. We are all human, and we all need to recognize crime suppression and mass imprisonment are not solutions. Homeboy Industries, and many other programs are the real solutions. Not enough people know this, even political figures.
Vice, you are doing good not only with regard to entertainment, but for the good of society. Good shit.
WhO iS wAtChInG tHiS iN 2019?
Everybody’s a gangster until it’s time to remove their tattoos

Homeboy Industry is such a blessing to all of these beautiful souls. May God continue to bless them as they bless others.
Good for this people to leave that life behind and good for these people helping them.
I remove my tattoos with flamethrower, because i'm Russian!
+KKM Is the fuel vodka? Just like your IS tanks

That’s cool and all
But cant seem to find the person who asked
Hamza Khan yoooo thats crazy bro...still cant find the person that asked you though
@@Stfulnga i must have Alzheimers cuz i dont remember asking
HomeBoy Industries--we should be so grateful for this extraordinary agency. Thanks so much!
The whistle before entering the house to let them know it's a friendly.
That's what's up! Good to see people trying to make a change
I know the feeling. That shit hella hurts. I'd rather get a tattoo than go through this pain.
Get the whole body tattooed
Removing the tattoos : OOOO that hurts
Nobody:
Guy at 1:28: “this is the type of pain that makes you want to punch a baby”
The regrets these people are dealing with,. Its so much. I feel compassion and hope for them. A new skin, bringing anew set of choices.
0:41 That woman is moaning while spitting on the doctor, is this a porno ?
there should be more is thus rather than so much weed videos, the whole channel was becoming a pot blog
+Brian Valaa pot , marijuana, yerba buena, Porro, pitillo, cannabis, all the same thing
Jay V
Found the pot head.
C'mon mannnn it's like beer brew or pint let em call what it what he wants
good luck people. Great you are changing your ways, opening up and looking for your own way. So proud of ya all, without even knowing you. And thank you Homeboy industries and all people trying to help :) you make the world a better place.
Love the job HomeBoy industries does, giving people a second chance. OxC Santa Ana
"It feels like popping grease or like a hot rubber band fully stretched with needles on the end shooting fire". That sounds so dang painfullll
1:54 damn that girl s just chilling
- Remove tattoos to don't be stigmatized as gangsters
- Still act, talk and dress like gangsters
- Logic
I was thinking the same. just seems like a free service too get rid of shitty tats.
+Chromeskull90 lol, you are actually right
Change is gradual
+Chromeskull90 Regardless of how they act, the point is that they don't have physical evidence of a gang affiliation on their body. They are working towards a better life. That's a bigger step towards a proper life than most gang members ever make. There's no point in being so negative...
+Chromeskull90 it's not acting u fuckin dumbass its slang they all been used to saying for years they been in gangs its not something u just stop "acting" like..
I remember reading about homeboy industries. Even met the people that work there when they came to my class. Such strong people. :)
I been there plenty of times. Got my face, neck, hands done there. That doctor is a cool dude.
wow great project!!
