Mara gang member who identifies himself as "Criminal


Jose Daniel Galindo, 22, a Mara gang member who identifies himself as "Criminal," poses for his portrait in prison in Chimaltenango, Tuesday, Oct. 30, 2007. After anti-gang laws were approved in Honduras and El Salvador, and a string of killings in Guatemala that were committed by angry neighbors and security forces, gang members have stopped tattooing themselves and have resorted to more subtle, low profile ways of identifying themselves as members of those criminal organizations. Today, gang members with tattooed faces, are either dead, in prison or hiding.
