Mark Cropp just wants to to get a job and support his family, but something unique is holding him back.

A giant tattoo saying “DEVAST8” covers half of his face, and, perhaps not surprisingly, it’s off-putting for potential employers.

The teenager, born in Oamaru in the southern part of the country, told the New Zealand Herald he had it inked a few months ago, while drunk on homebrew in a jail cell in Christchurch, New Zealand.

It’s one trippin’ jug, for sure.

:D

[makes me wonder at the implication...here in the hills, we say “He’s got snakes” if someone acts drunk or crazy...so...]

My mother used to say, “If you [action], you’ll get snakes in your brain.” Relevant actions were things like watching “Miami Vice.”
