…But will he regret it? By Derick Allen at Skin Deep Tattoos at Winter Haven, FL.
Sorry, I do not have an answer right now to your “why” questions.
EDIT: I just got the following note to share:
He had been thinking of this tattoo for two years and finally did it… Derrick Allen at Skin Deep Tattoos here in Winterhaven, FL said — and I quote — “if you’re stupid enough to do that, I will do it for free”, and then it was all done. There were thirteen people in the booth with camera phones, digital cameras… it was crazy! People were calling friends saying “dude, you won’t believe this…” It was the best… he has more crazy facial and head tattoos coming including “something” down the side of his nose and a bullet hole on the back of his head. Everywhere we go people try washing it off, and take pictures with their phones to send to friends! It’s great!
Anyway, I posted loads of stuff today here so don’t be mad if I take tomorrow off (from ModBlog). That said, I’m working on adding some guest bloggers here, so maybe there’ll be posts other than my bursts of rambling and random pictures soon.

I’m pretty sure Anil Gupta wouldn’t have done it.

I can be judgmental too, yet there is something familiar and ironic about all the questions it raises: Do you think you can get a job looking like that? Do you think anyone will love you or respect you looking like that? Did you lose a bet? Do you have any self-respect? etc. They all sound like a conservative society’s arguments against anyone with visible mods of any kind. We can all make assumptions, but if he thought about it for two years then he must have considered the some of the ramifications and questions he’ll endure. Or, he could just want his 15 minutes of notoriety before the novelty wears off. It’s not 100% unique but few people would dare copy it and it definitely gets attention.
As the note said, “Everywhere we go people try washing it off, and take pictures with their phones to send to friends! It’s great!” That novelty is arguably a dumb reason, but I don’t think it reflects on anyone else’s motives for getting tattooed. I don’t see why some people are upset by it. It’s his forehead, his choice. As for the homeless man with the “bumfights” tattoo, that is upsetting. It’s totally reprehensible. Did a professional tattoo artist do that? I see that more as gross exploitation rather than novelty and it makes me very sad.

I only hope, for his sake, that he is independantly wealthy, as he will never get a job again. I know I would never hire or even give my business to someone advertising their stupidity. – N MoneyMaybe he works at McDonalds? Rather fitting then. j/k 🙂
If he ever wanted to cover it up all he would have to do is grow his hair out a few inches and comb it forward. – JoeThere’s also makeup he could wear. He’d look gay, but his tattoo wouldn’t be visible 🙂

I disagree with all the people saying that this guy will never get a job again. Not all businesses are uptight, and you can be sure that this guy will be hired, if he puts in a good effort, by some company who values those with an odd sense of humour.
That, or maybe he already has a job where they don’t mind? There ARE some jobs, like over-the-phone tech support, where you can sport any mods and still work for decent money.
Please remember, everyone, that you are not getting this guy’s life story just from the pictures and the snippet of information here. Don’t just assume you know everything.
And yttrx, why is being tolerant of everyone lame? Do explain, as you’ve given no good reason with your argument.

I’d get a kick out of it, no matter why it was done. *grin*
