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

[PAR35]

Not bad for a prison tattoo.

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

[fella]

Poor life choices lead to a poor life?

Who would have thought?

he had it inked a few months ago, while drunk on homebrew in a jail cell

He reached level 5 of comedian Larry Miller's "Five Levels of Drinking."

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

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.

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

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’d fit in just fine in any democrat stronghold...Seattle, Portland, San Fran etc.

Theodore Dalrymple at Taki Mag wrote a whole article on the fundamental contradiction in the lives of people like this (including not just those with elaborate tattoos, but also transexuals and others): they go way out-of-their way to make themselves noticeable, then they get all honked off when they do get noticed and aren’t regarded in conventional fashion.

Amazing...putting a tattoo on your face is a death sentence to a good job. He might get a job at Starbucks.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

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

Note to self: do not drink the toilet wine if incarcerated.

As for this guy, he could get a job in a carnival or a Waffle House in the States.

DANG!

Tattoos are ugly no matter where on the body they are. I guess if you can cover them up in public, it’s nobody’s business but your own. But I’ll never understand why people willingly deface their body like that.

[al_c]

Grow a beard. Problem solved.

He could apply to the down under chapter of the Blue Man Group.

Update: Job offers flood in for Mark Cropp despite his giant facial prison tattoo

A man who has been struggling to find a job because of his extensive prison facial tattoo has been inundated with job offers.

Mark Cropp shared his story with the Herald yesterday about how he wants to get off the dole, find a job, and put food on the table for his family.

...

One of the people to offer him a job is Douglas George Hebert, who owns scaffolding company PR Contracting.

Douglas George Hebert says he has experienced discrimination himself because of his tattoos.

He was happy to offer Cropp a labouring job paying $22 an hour.

"We've all made bad choices, doesn't mean we are bad people," says Herbert.

"I'm a big brown man covered in tattoos myself, and I have been on the receiving end of judgment from people who don't even know me."

[TXBlair]

Yeesh. I guess he’s going to have to become a welder or a surgeon. Hope he’s got the academic chops! Oh, wait...

Guess he can be an old western bank robber or train bandit.

[tumblindice]

[trisham]

I wouldn’t hire him. He clearly has poor decision making abilities.
