… if they had made a better choice of tattoos. It was discussed in class that tattoos are usually associated with criminals and this post talks about how these criminals actually made themselves distintive for them to get caught. I feel like some criminals are either proud of their actions or on the other hand disgraced so they tattoo certain symbols to remind themselves. There was one criminal that even tattooed the whole crime scene across his chest. The post ends with a lesson to be learned: “discretion is key”. These 7 criminals made themselves so easy for their identity to be disclosed. So the question is WHY? I feel like if you’re going to decide and commit a crime, should you not try and look like a smart college student instead of a “thug” with markings all over the face/body? But I guess the main question should be “why commit the crime in the first place?”
To be honest, seeing these pictures of criminals tattooing themselves are hilarious. It is almost hard to believe that some people would think to tattoo the ink onto their face. Tattoo’s are permanent and to be putting a whole crime scene on your body is beyond ridiculous. I understand when someone wants to express their thoughts/views or even their feelings through ink, but to give away your identity after doing a crime…is unbelievable. I guess you can’t really give them much credit considering they did ink their faces.
I think these people serve a great example to the public that you should think twice before tattooing something you might one day regret. Even though removing a tattoo nowadays are easy as ever, but it is such a waste of time. I respect people with thoughtful tattoos and even ones with a legitimate meaning behind of it. I think this article should be posted in tattoo parlors and prison as a reminder “Don’t be stupid.”
