Maybe his lawyer want’s the tattoo artist to add : NOT A … or in this case A TON
Maybe it’s reverse psychology. No real murderer would tattoo murder on his neck…

Woman are allowed to wear make up to court. A jar of dermablend cost a few bucks. He should buy some.
Is it just me - or is his picture an example of the uncanny valley effect?
Are we allowed to correct fictitious words? ‘Embiggen’.
I would also like to propose some internet forum rule along the lines of “The first response to any post containing the word ‘embiggen’ will make use of ‘cromulent’.”

I assume that to be the case.
I can think of a cheap cover-up:

Only if they see him in a mirror.
[Insert comedy skit wherein officers release him for want of evidence and then, while driving off, recognize the tattoo in the rearview mirror.]

That’s much better than my idea of a tattoo of a time machine.

I was going to fix it, but it had already been quoted by the time that I noticed…
needs more tears.
That would be a cruel and unusual punishment. Have you met the Doctors fangirls?
I have commented way too much on this thread, but feel compelled to mention that the biggest item missing here is a link to the post last week of the 2nd dumbest tattoo. This has to be in the top 5, maybe a new dumbest.

I’m going to take a guess here, and say that it’s possible you might not want this if you were black, were 6’3", and had bad teeth (associated with being lower class).
It’s unfortunate but true, Implicit Association Bias is very real, and very certainly has affected real, innocent people, who were in front of a jury and the jury went with a gut feeling that they were probably guilty.
It’s very easy to say you’d want the jury to look you in the eye if you don’t fit our society’s image of a criminal.

What’s to correct? Embiggen is a word, now. Where do you think words come from? The Word Fairy?
But, I do think a reply with cromulent is highly appropriate.

You don’t have to show up before a jury wearing prison-issue unless you have no one (including your lawyer) to spring for a cheap suit from Goodwill. I think there are exceptions for prisoners deemed too dangerous to be allowed unshackled, but that’s some Hannibal Lecter level stuff.
But if he gets the neck brace his ruse is liable to be undone by Mike Brady dropping a briefcase on the floor behind him during the trial.

A poor choice in tattoos indeed. Does it automatically make him guilty of this crime? Absolutely not.
Unfortunately for him, the damage is done and the story has gone viral. When news websites in Australia are publishing the story, it probably doesn’t matter if he’s being trailed in his home county or across the country.
Hey at least he doesn’t look like this guy:
