A New Zealand man with a large DEVAST8 face tattoo says it is preventing him from finding a job. Mark Cropp got the tattoo – done by his brother – a few months ago when he was drunk on contraband homebrew in prison, but admits he now regrets the decision.

In a desperate attempt to find work, he posted a selfie on the Auckland Jobs Facebook group appealing for someone to give him a job.

The teen’s determination to find work has paid off and he has received job offers in scaffolding and construction since posting on Facebook.   A tattoo laser removal company has also offered to remove the DEVAST8 from his face for free.
