An Alvin tattoo artist’s act of kindness has captured the hearts of hundreds of people on social media. It all started when Joe Figueroa posted a photo on Facebook.
The young man in the photo with Figueroa is 20-year-old Jacob Robicheaux. Jacob’s mom, Cathy said Jacob was born with Down Syndrome, but has always wanted a tattoo.

Figueroa came into work on his day off in order to give Jacob some ink.
