「英雄印記」影集貼身記錄「越獄刺青店」的每日工作內容，這是一間位於德州休士頓的獨特店家，專精於為初期應變人員創作意義深遠的刺青圖樣。這裡匯聚了與第一線救難人員關係密切的藝術家，他們瞭解這些人的責任重大，「越獄刺青店」是客戶的心靈桃花源，在這裡他們分享自身的故事，並對工作上那些影響他們人生的感動瞬間致上最高敬意。
每一集半小時的內容囊括了數位初期應變人員的故事——包括員警、消防隊員、緊急醫療照護人員和軍人。「越獄刺青店」的老闆畢開·克列夫，是在休士頓警界待了25年的退休人士，他替客戶和刺青師配對，挑選他認為能夠合作得最好、也最能透過刺青傳達故事的組合。與他的合作的刺青藝術家有：里奇，在紐約警察局供職11年之久、軍人的妻子潔妮絲·丹爵、退役海軍「四指」東尼、柔伊，孩童時期曾被警察救過一命、以及現任休士頓消防員羅比——所有人都與第一線救難人員有深厚的連結。
就在刺青藝術家們為客戶創作這些永恆的禮讚時，他們分享自身經歷，通常是一些令人心情激動的英勇事蹟，透過隨身攝影機錄下的畫面、新聞報導、和私人相片，活靈活現地傳達出來。
Hero Ink follows the daily work at Prison Break Tattoos, a unique shop in Houston, TX that specializes in creating meaningful tattoos for first responders. Bringing together artists who have a connection to the world of first responders and understand their sense of duty, Prison Break Tattoos is a haven for clients to share their stories and pay tribute to the moments on the job that have had a profound impact on their lives.
Each half-hour episode features stories from several first responders—including cops, firefighters, EMS professionals and members of the military. Prison Break Tattoos owner BK Klev, a 25-year veteran of the Houston police department, matches each client with the artist he feels will connect with them best and help tell their story through a tattoo. Featured artists are Rich who served in the NYPD for 11 years, military wife Janice Danger, former Marine Tony “Four-Fingers,” Zoey who was rescued by police as a child, and current Houston firefighter Robbie – all with a strong connection to the world of first responders. As the artists work to create a permanent tribute, each client shares their personal and often emotional stories of heroism which are brought to life through body-cam footage, news coverage, and personal photos.
