Ink And Prejudice

This guy's lawyers have their work cut out for them.

Attorneys for Curtis Michael Allgier are afraid the murder suspect's head-to-toe tattoos -- which include swastikas, neo-Nazi symbols and the words "Skin Head" written across his forehead -- could negatively influence a jury.

Nooooo. No, no, no.
Really?

Nobody ever notices my thoughtful eyes

They want him to cover up his ink in court somehow. I'd hazard the solution will be that heavy makeup that burn victims use.

Damn. This citizen has obviously invested lots of time, pain, and money into looking like a homicidal menace.

It's a shame that in this day and age, he must cover himself in order to accommodate a jury's typically backwards bias against people who look like malevolent goblins.

We haven't really come very far as a society, have we?
It's disappointing. I really thought we were better than that.

Tip for the makeup artist: Don't fuck up.

Thanks to skinbad.
