I agree that his "looks/style" is extreme, especially the visible tattoos on his neck.
He would def have a hard time getting a "formal" job at an office, when looking like that.
But he was a tattooist, so that kinda makes sense.
I think the shaved head on him gives an initial impression of a "badboy" stereotype, which instantly attracts a certain kind of women.
That in conjunction with tattoos, and a bodybuilder physique (he looks kinda juiced) makes an extreme impact, I guess.
Cool story btw! It's always nice to have a good laugh..
