Mark Cropp, a 19-year-old from New Zealand, went viral after pleading for work on social media due to his face tattoo, which reads “DEVAST8.” The tattoo, which he got while in jail, was hindering his job prospects. Since his plea, Cropp has received over 45 job offers but has turned them down, stating he’s waiting for the “right” job. He also revealed that he plans to have the face tattoo removed, despite its sentimental value, as it was designed by his brother. Cropp, who has a criminal past, aims to be a better role model for his family and is preparing to start a full-time scaffolding job.
