An ordinary American made a decision once that would alter his or her whole life. Since obtaining his first tattoo a few years ago, Tristan has continued to add to his collection.

Tristan is now covered with a detailed ink painting. In a recent surprise to his followers, he posted photos of himself before changing. At first, Tristan’s pals were perplexed since they couldn’t identify him in the old pictures.

In those earlier photos, Tristan didn’t resemble himself in the least. He had a vintage Hollywood appearance and was a redhead with blue eyes. Tristan’s admirers praised him profusely in the comments and exhorted him to search for work in Hollywood since he looked so wonderful.

However, despite all the affection, some people were unable to conceal their melancholy.

A handful of the American’s upset pals said, “He ruined himself.”
