What a spectacular example of a Useful Idiot. He could have at least made some money as a billboard for McDonalds, Home Depot, Trojans etc.

I always find it interesting that so many young people now days seem to think so little of themselves that they find a need to do things like this.
Tats, piercings, loud intrusive car stereo systems, and such all screaming desperately “look at me, see how great I am, see how I stand out” while offending everyone around them who are really thinking “what a moron”.
I pity their futures, they don’t have one.

I guess he could get a job answering the phone, might still need to be in a place all alone so no one would stare and think,’ WTF”. John

I don’t think he would be hired at the car wash. Scare little kids!

Sometimes individualism equates to lack of opportunity and loneliness. The only job this guy can get now is as a tattoo artist. That is quite a limited opportunity set.

More and more I’ve come to realize the many people have little or no understanding of cause and effect. Actions have consequences. Consequences are not always immediate and apparently some have difficulty seeing much past today.
That kid was probably the center of attention at the tattoo parlor with everyone there telling him “how fucking Cool is that!!”
He obviously didn’t think too far into his future.
I see tattoos as an inverse indicator of one’s I.Q. and self esteem.

He’d still make a fantastic advertisement for planned parenthood!

Saw a fellow like this at the airport yesterday, half his face fully tatted out which ran down his neck and I’m sure over the rest of his body, full sleeves and long purple/blue hair. He was flying coach, so he wasn’t a rock star. Never smiled, people were giving him a wide berth and that ‘WTF is wrong with you’ look. He just looked sad, real sad. Pitiful.

I have a stepson with tats all over and just had to nurse him through a 4 week IV course of treatment for sepsis. He was VERY ill, hospitalized for a couple of weeks and required surgery to remove infected bone prior to bringing him home for the IV treatment.
He swears it wasn’t from dirty ink. If he gets another one I’ll disown him after all this. Tats are potentially dangerous! NOT worth it AT ALL!

Hate to raise a contrary note, but from the context of the photo, I wouldn’t be surprised if the illustrated dude WORKS at the barber shop. I’ve known several “service sector” employees (some at management level or kid of the business owner — things can get complicated) who actually “attract” customers with like taste. Some were fairly well inked up, some were half-way trannies, others were various flavors of “goth” or other sub-cults. If the area’s urban enough (and in a couple of cases we’re talking small-town Mississippi or Texas for Heaven’s sake), there’s often enough demand for service by folks with similar tastes.
Kinda like “buying within the tribe.”
BTW — most of the critical — aesthetic, hygienic, etc., comments are still valid, it’s just things are complicated.

The same holds for golf handicaps. After I retired, my handicap was 24. It’s now 17. As my handicap decreases, my IQ and self esteem increase. It’s fucking amazing. If this keeps up, I’ll be a genius and the most insufferable asshole EVER on TBP.
For you unwashed peasants who don’t understand what a golf handicap is, I cannot be bothered to waste my time explaining it to you. Heh.

I don’t know………..you think he’ll fit in here?
“This is Teddy Boy Greg. He’s a barber and a self-proclaimed “tattoo collector”. Just based on this 3:00 video, you’ll probably end up hating him. He appears to be one of those guys that is just mad at the world by default and is always miserable. He’s got something to prove and he’s going to let it be known to everyone he talks to.”
