Recovering alcoholic changes his life after having prison tattoos removed

La Quinta — With his neat trimmed goatee and preppy clothes, Brian Byrd, 44, looks like a clean-cut guy.

But underneath his collared shirt are the remnants of a life the La Quinta resident doesn't like to talk about and is eager to forget.

The recovering alcoholic has been in and out of jail for a good portion of his life but now works at a service station. During his times in prison, Byrd received some tattoos that served as shields to keep people away — devil horns on his head, ink on his hands, face, neck and back of his head.

Byrd wanted to remove those marks and hopefully fade the memory of his troubled past.

For almost two years, he has had dozens of laser tattoo removal treatments done by Dr. Matthew Werner of La Quinta MedSpa.

“I had tattoos all over, and it was hard to get employment like that,” Byrd said. “I knew I had to start changing some things to make myself more presentable.”

Byrd learned of Werner's work from a friend at the ABC Recovery Center in Indio where he was undergoing treatment for alcohol addiction. A program offered through the Employment Development Department, in conjunction with Werner's donated time, gave Byrd the opportunity to start tattoo removal treatments for free.

“I thought it was kind of cool dealing with these guys, and it gives them a second chance to live a normal life,” Werner said. “Even when the program ran out of money, I kept doing treatments on them until they were finished.”

Jeff Goyette Bio

Jeff Goyette was born and raised in Massachusetts where tattooing was illegal, and to this day is only allowed on a per community basis, with each community deciding for themselves whether to allow it or not. Jeff still wanted to be a tattoo artist, and so learned his trade and took it on the road with the tattoo tour where he continued his tattoo education through coursework and tour experience.

In 1993 Jeff opened Inflicting Ink Tattoo Studio in Portsmouth RI as a way to get out of touring and establish some roots in the community. He has been in this location for 17 years. After a few years in the shop however, he wanted to use his traveling experience to be able to bring tattooing to people who might not have the chance to get to a brick-and-mortar shop.

So he built the Inflicting Ink Traveling Tattoo truck, over 73 feet of truck housing a state of the art, sterile, mobile tattoo facility ~ there is nothing else like it on the planet, literally, as the Guiness Book of World Records has named it the largest tattoo facility in the world, but simply has no category to place it in.

The truck travels to fairs, events, concerts, and even does private parties, drawing large crowds and those who do not have access to a local tattoo studio for their body art. Jeff loves when he can give back to a community, and often simply brings the truck to draw in numbers at charity events whenever possible, whether any tattooing will be done or not.

He and his artists model their work on the belief that a customer should always feel that they have received a quality piece of art, that the work is consistent, and that they can be proud of their tattoo as well as where it came from.
