Jose Arce
Jose (AKA Spanky) was born in Guadalajara, Mexico. He arrived in the United States at age two and is the father of four children, three of whom are U.S. citizens. A former gang member, Jose was deported in 2007 after a firearm conviction. Separated from his family, Jose attempted to reenter the U.S. and was then incarcerated in federal prison for reentering after being deported. Jose was deported again in 2010 and established his life in Tijuana.
Since 2010, Jose has started two successful businesses in Tijuana, No Mercy Tattoos and Los Tarros restaurant. Jose is a highly gifted tattoo artist and travels frequently throughout Mexico to perform his work. He also works in the following media: airbrushing; oil painting; charcoal drawings; pastels; sculpting; and other visual arts. Jose has been featured in numerous publications regarding the monumental struggles of deportees at establishing a life (and starting businesses) in Mexico, including Univision, the San Diego Union-Tribune, Fusion, and la Razón.
