Lydia the Tattooed Lady

[Gromit]

Well, Anthony Garcia actually, though his story is somewhat similar to Lydia. This LA murder had the crime he committed illustrated on his chest. It was spotted by a cop 4 years later who was familiar with the unsolved crime, And now he is behind bars.

Not really a question, just wanted to highlight This odd story. Wouldn't it be helpful if all criminals were to Tattoo their misdemeanuors about their person.

OK if they did it voluntarily, but if it were done compulsorily by the state then up would go the cry of "Yooman Rights".

Tattoos have in the past been used to tell people that they are 'savages'
