[E. Pluribus Unum]

Had he gotten the tattoos recently, or had they been there long before the robberies?

Relevant questions are rayciss, of course.

Not much chance he got all those tats at the same time or over a couple of days. He should have done what we all advise each other to do- shut up when arrested except for calmly asking for an attorney.

[Cold Heart]

The perp had altered his face to hide the tattoos during the robbery. Forensics wanted to duplicate what he had done.

Or since they were so prominent isn't it possible that he covered them with makeup during the robberies?

I know, That's racist!
