Forgot to Chew Off The Tat Too

Kirk Kelly was picked up in a traffic stop in Tallmadge, Ohio. To avoid having his true identity revealed he lied about his name and then sat in the back of a cruiser and chewed off his fingerprints. The police subsequently identified him by a tattoo. I have to specify, although Kirk was picked up in Ohio, he was originally from Florida- the WTF state.

Hunger gnawed at his vitals but his salvation was ~~at his~~ fingertips.

I like the ones when they give a false name and it turns out to be someone with worse warrant out than the crime they committed .

To me, tattoos are like putting a sticker on your car bumper... not worth it in the long run.
