Teen Says Tattoo Covering Half His Face Is Making it Hard to Find Work

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.

He certainly has a checkered present and a checkered future.

I don’t know he was thinking. He should’ve at least centered th A. ;)

He does actually have an option, which is to remove it, leaving the scars. Then blame the scars on a Takata.

ROFL.

He looks straight up corporate to me. What’s the problem?

Mustn't stereotype, mustn't stereotype, mustn't stereotype ... no, the brand is the brand.

The guy needs a job? I suppose he could move to San Francisco and become an elementary school teacher.

Grow a beard & mustache. Disgusting.

[just me]

No worries, he can get disability, or sue for a new kind of racism.

Likewise . . .

Too bad Markie; Barnum & Bailey has folded up their tents for good.

The guy created a real problem for himself. Hopefully he will think creatively and eventually find a way to succeed despite his self-induced handicap. For example, Nick Vujicic has no arms and no legs and has DO BF a way to be inspirational.

Coming soon to a country/city/town/county etc near you

A super fund for TATTOO REMOVAL.

The ‘idiots’ will set it up so people won’t ‘embarrass’ themselves by ‘asking’ for the grant so ANYONE who applies will get some cash.

Of course, it will be demeaning to send someone to check and make sure a tattoo was removed.

Ain’t progress great.
