He shared the story behind his tattoo with the Daily Mail Australia.
“You know there was a long time there where I would devastate everything I touched. I would end up devastating everyone I met or got close to,” he said.
“They would be disappointed with something I had done or said – I was always hearing ‘that’s devastating.’ Once it was started, I thought, I can’t go back on it now. I wish I had stopped while the outline was there to be quite honest. Before I knew it I had this on my face… It was swollen like a bloody pumpkin,” he added.
Version 1: Mark was determined to remove the terrible “art” on his face and was willing to do whatever it took. However, he couldn’t find any professionals who were willing to help him. Laser removal was too costly for him, so he turned to social media users for assistance.
Mark shared a post on Facebook displaying his tattoo, seeking employment and an opportunity for a fresh start.
