Teen Says Tattoo Covering Half His Face Is Making it Hard to Find Work
New York Post ^

Posted on 07/15/2017 11:50:50 PM PDT by nickcarraway

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.

Find a work from home job - that’s about your only bet, dummy!

And he did it “while drunk on homebrew in a jail cell” is supposed to be a mitigating factor.

Normally wired people would see him going to jail for breaking the law and still breaking the jail's laws/rules as more to hold against him?

Don’t look for sympathy for your stupid action. Learn that actions have consequences and go around the country telling people not to get stupid tatoos. Jerk.

“he had it inked a few months ago, while drunk on homebrew in a jail cell in Christchurch, New Zealand.”

They do tattoos in jail?

He just needs to buy make up and apply every day like actors do to cover tattoos.

I have told young people for years that a great career choice is tattoo removal.

Not bad for a prison tattoo.

Oh, wait. Is it the tattoo or the criminal history that is his problem.

Poor life choices lead to a poor life?

Who would have thought?

Employers don’t trust his judgement... it is not the tatto. But that he got the tattoo that makes him unhirable.

Have to ask: who is the jackass that tattooed his face?

According to another article, his brother talked him into it. In jail. While drunk.

Drunk, tattooed and stupid is no way to go through life.

Perhaps, but then there’s the homebrew. I wonder what the laws are in New Zealand for opening a distillery. Like my grandmother always said, if you’ve got a problem, hang a lantern on it. “Devast8 Homebrew” has a nice ring to it. Maori-ish tattoo pattern on the label. The man, the legend, the homebrew that made him so.

I think it’d sell in Australia at least, they’re wacky that way.

For years I was responsible for hiring professional and non-professional staff at a very well known hospital.My policy...unspoken though it was...was to refuse to hire anyone who had any tattoos visible when wearing ordinary street clothes *or* wearing hospital scrubs.

Of course I couldn't interview people in scrubs so some did slip through.

Some here,maybe many, here disagree with this but...

He should get worked over so that the upper half looks like a bowl of spaghetti.
