Mark Cropp, a 19-year-old from New Zealand, went viral after pleading for work on social media, despite having “DEVAST8” tattooed across his face. His plea attracted numerous job offers, but he hasn’t accepted any yet, as he waits for the right opportunity and addresses issues like transportation requirements.
Tattoo Removal Plans
Cropp is planning to remove his face tattoo, which was done by his brother during Cropp’s time in jail. He admits the tattoo, intended to signify toughness, has become a regrettable mark of his past. “The face tattoo… was meant to appear tough but became a source of regret,” he reflects.
Past Reflections
Cropp acknowledges his violent past and the role it played in his imprisonment. The tattoo, meant to be small, grew after a night of drinking. He’s now focused on leaving his troubled past behind and improving his life.
Moving Forward
Determined to turn his life around, Cropp hopes to show that people shouldn’t be judged by their appearance. He’s scheduled for laser therapy to remove the tattoo and is committed to supporting his family and building a new future.
