Mark Cropp got the tattoo - done by his brother - a few months ago when he was drunk on contraband homebrew in prison, but admits he now regrets the decision.

I'm guessing that the tattoo isn't his only impediment to gainful employment.

Just a hunch...

How does he explain the neck and eyebrow tattoo?

Some people have a history of bad judgement, this guy appears to be one who makes a lot of bad choices.

Exactly. Just one of several factors.

That kid likely comes with a lot of baggage and none of it good.

Moral of story: Make sure you have a secure skill or source of income before you get a controversial visible tattoo. A lot of chefs, bartenders, and self-employed creative types have visible tattoos but don't go looking for a sales job with them.

A tattoo laser removal company has also offered to remove the DEVAST8 from his face for free.

If he wants to remove that crap off his face he has a waiting offer.

There's a reason why face, neck and hand tattoos are called "job stoppers".

I try not to judge people by their appearance, and I have tattoos myself, but I got mine where they can easily be concealed by professional clothing. Like it or not, there are quite a few people that are judgmental about body art and I am smart enough to know this. Priorities.
