Originally from North Carolina Robert Hardister, 25, has an array of mugshots, starting in 2009, that show the evolution of tattoos on his face.

Schizophrenia comes to mine. Why would someone do that to themselves unless they were sick?
I feel sorry for him.
from the article...
"According to WPGF-TV Hardister told police that "he knew the vehicle was stolen and said he was a drug dealer that had "fronted" an unknown individual methamphetamine in exchange for the car."

I'll agree with a possible schizophrenia hypothesis.
With a lot of self medication.
