Is La Libertad safe for tattoos?

My wife and I are Salvadoran American, moving to La Libertad at the end of the month. I have demonic/satanic style tattoos on my chest and horror themed styles on my arms. How worried should I be about being stopped by the police?

Why is Simple.sv not working?

I've been using Simple.sv to get police records and background checks for my friends and family, but recently one of them tried to use it and got a message saying their ID is expired and they need to renew it. They had renewed it just a month ago and no one is responding to their messages. I'm starting to doubt the site's maintenance and whether it's actually helping people avoid going in person to these places.
