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, its 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!
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?

I have told young people for years that a great career choice is tattoo removal.
Not bad for a prison tattoo.

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

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.
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.
