Police have been collecting data on arrestees tattoos for decades.
Now they have the computers and communications to crunch the data and share the information quickly.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
One of the reasons I have never had a Tattoo, if I had ever decided to do something nefarious, a tattoo would be a dead giveaway. Just like I would never own a vanity license plate. Just the paranoia in me.
I’ve always been astonished at the sheer stupidity of the criminal element, so keen on distinctively ‘branding’ themselves to make identification so laughably easy.
But I hardly understand the appeal of tattoos to begin with. Just yesterday saw some rather raggedy middle-aged gal at a check-out counter with tattoos all up and down her arms. I guess they were tattoos, but they looked more like some child with color magic-markers scribbled all over her arms. It was ghastly-looking.
It makes it easy for me to spot the sleazy people to avoid.
When bystanders saw a man shoot 30-year-old Marquell Burge last year behind the Ninth Street Pool Hall in St. Petersburg, one of them had an easy way to identify the killer. He said "the suspect has a 727 tattoo on the back of his neck, and just shot pool the other day," according to a police report.Hey. Lots of guys of "727" tattoo'd on the backs of their necks.
Doesn't this mean they had already tied the DNA evidence to a suspect, without the tattoo witness speaking up?
I’ve said this ever since tattoos became a fad. If you commit crimes, you better not wear tattoos, particularly if you are a rapist. The woman is going to see them, she’s going to remember them and then you’re doing 30 in the can.
“Dunce Decorations” (male) and “Tramp Stamps” (female) have to rate right up there with the most stupid ideas ever conceived by humans — right below body piercings...
tattoos are better than fingerprints. witnesses can’t see fingerprints, nor can cameras. you twits keep inking yourselves up
A century ago, people were paying for carnival shows to see hideous freaks like a tattooed man or a fat lady and the like...and now we can see them all free at the local Wal-Mart.
I want to know how actors who do historical scenes which require no shirt cover up their tattoos which would be highly anachronistic. They just don’t do those types of roles? Is there a special make-up that covers tattoos?
