covered in tattoos, which means he hates himself, most likely suicide.
That’s a ridiculous conclusion.
Wow. That’s a horrible assumption. I have tons of friends with lots of tattoos, including Marines, and I wouldn’t attribute ink to self-loathing. Tons of non-tattooed people hate themselves; it’s not a hallmark of anything. People get tattoos which have a meaning to them - unless they’re drunk or high at the time, in which case the tattooist wasn’t supposed to do the ink.
I have, “Love” tattooed on my right hand, and plan to get the staff of Asclepius on my back when I pass as an EMT, more if I ever get to finish my nursing degree, and my brother has a sleeve of Hayao Miyazaki’s artwork that extends over his chest - it’s beautiful.
Tons of non-inked persons kill themselves daily. Your ignorance on the subject should give you some pause.
