Man's Tattooed Face Gives Him Away

PORTSMOUTH, N.H. - It didn't take the sleuthing skills of a Miss Marple or Sherlock Holmes to figure out who was peddling marijuana to teenagers in Market Square. Police said 28-year-old Eric Hardcastle's tattooed eyebrows, head and cheeks made him easy to identify.

Late Monday night, a teenager reported being approached by a man with a heavily tattooed face with three baggies of marijuana for sale. Officers said they found Hardcastle _ who has a row of arrows over each brow, a tattoo on his forehead and scalp and matching markings on each cheek _ soon afterward at a convenience store.

"He is definitely an individual that you would notice," said Lt. Rodney McQuate.

Hardcastle quickly went from living in a homeless shelter to a jail cell. After pleading guilty Tuesday to misdemeanor drug possession, Hardcastle was sentenced to six months in the Rockingham County jail.

Despite his run-in with the law, Hardcastle said he likes Portsmouth, where he landed two weeks ago after riding with a trucker.

"I want to make it here," he said.

If you've got tattoos on your face, everyone's gonna notice, because it's not that hard to miss. And who gets facial tattoos anyway?

Holy crap. Didn't see that one coming.

Benifits of posting on more than one forum. That was a reply over on Freedom4um. It's a libertarian forum I post on.

The last one is better but took me two tries to get it to come up.

You gotta admire the work it took for that last tattoo pic.
