This Mug Shot is All Over the Internet

I guess this is a face that only a mother could love????

From all kinds of sources all over the internet, here’s my vote for People’s 2008 Edition of the World’s Ugliest Man:

Here’s the article from The Smoking Gun.Com:

Mug Shot Metamorphosis

Tattooed Colorado convict in jarring before/after booking photos

DECEMBER 4–Meet Michael Campbell, before and after. The Colorado man has a long rap sheet and prison history, though you probably could have guessed that based on the below mug shots. In the “before” photos, Campbell is seen following a 2003 theft arrest in Jefferson County, Colorado. The “after” photos were snapped about six weeks ago, when Campbell was again popped and jailed at the Jefferson County lockup. Though he has been in and out of custody between 2003 and 2008, Campbell, 33, apparently used his infrequent time on the street to aggressively supplement his facial and neck art. It is unclear, however, why his ears, to date, have been left untouched. But that polka-dotted bow tie (at least we think it’s a bow tie) was a wonderful addition.

What I love is the puppy dog nose… so cute!  Can you even imagine if you saw this person walking down the street?   Or, at the grocery store?  Like, what do you say…. “Hey, nice Frankenstien tat!”  Or, maybe, “Cool!  I dig Satan, too!”  For sure I’d say, “Hey man… uh, do you happen to have the business card of your tattoo artist… HE ROCKS!”

So, does this guy have a girlfriend?  How would she roll over and wake up to this in the morning?  I know!  “Wow.. how much, exactly did I have to drink last night?”

Was he tatt’ing himself as a way to detract from the fact that he’s losing his hair?

And, HOW could they possibly call this “art” in the article above?
