If you choose the life of crime, don’t put easy-to-identify tattoos on your face

Here’s some solid advice that we hope you never need to fall back on: If you must become a criminal, don’t get massive tattoos on your face.

News.com.au reports authorities in southeastern Australia were on the hunt for 24-year-old Jaimes Sutton for a litany of offenses, including traffic, domestic-related and property charges. Police shared his picture on social media and the public guessed the man would be pretty easy to find.

Why?

Well, he had tattoos all over his face — like a dark ink that covered his chin, cheeks, eyebrows and forehead.  There were only a few places that had no ink, like inside the large, capital letters spelling out “BEAST” on his forehead. 

He also didn’t have any ink on his eyelids, ears or upper lip, which caused people to relentlessly mock his appearance and compare it to that of a child who got hold of a magic marker.

Because Sutton gave himself a face that only a mother could love, it was only a matter of time before he was brought to justice. However, before he got arrested he had the gall to change his Facebook profile image to a photo of him covering the lower half of his face.

Sutton was arrested and denied bail.
