Unemployed Dad With Disturbing Face Tattoo Begs For Job On Facebook

In this compelling story about the influence of social media, Mark Cropp, a young man from New Zealand, was serving a two-year, three-month term for an unsuccessful drug trade when he found himself at a crossroads.

Desperate for a new beginning after serving his sentence, Mark made a decision that would have a significant impact on his life while he was inside.

Mark and his brother made a decision that changed their lives one night while they were in their jail cell, highly intoxicated from homemade booze made from fermented apples, bread, and sugar.

In a daze, they decided to use melted plastic knives and forks and toothpaste as improvised ink to tattoo Mark’s moniker on his face.

The resultant massive black tattoo, which gradually came to represent sorrow, boldly spelled “Devast8” across his lower face and jaw.

After serving his time in jail, Mark had to confront the hard reality of unemployment.
