Florida man's wild tattooed mugshots stun the internet





The evolving mugshots of a man with elaborate face tattoos have become an internet obsession this week after his most recent arrest.

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

When he was arrested eight years ago he had floppy, shaggy hair and no visible tattoos on his face.

His appearance keeps changing, whether it is his hairstyle, or the amount of ink coverage on his face.

Hardister is currently in St. John’s County Sheriff’s Office in Florida being held without bond on a parole violation from North Carolina. Hardister was arrested in St. Augustine Beach after police say he was found in a stolen car.

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.
