"Mad Dog" Deon horrifies loved ones by having a skull tattooed across his face
"Mad Dog" Deon, 27, is hardly the only person around who has a skull tattoo. What is unusual in Deon's case, however, is that his skull tattoo covers the whole of his face - and it's not a very good one either.
Jobless Deon showed off the tattoo on ITV1's Jeremy Kyle Show - Britain's equivalent of the Jerry Springer Show - on Friday.
His girlfriend Catherine, 31, also appeared on the programme titled "How Could My Boyfriend Destroy His Own Face?", during which she complained about his decision.
Deon, of Walsall, West Midlands - who got his first tattoo at 17 - adds: "I don't care what I look like. I am who I am, if people don't like me for who I am, they can do one."
During the show, Deon had also failed a lie detector test when asked if he'd slept with any other women, and Catherine told him their relationship is over.
If he stays jobless too long he will be forced by law to do something such as dredge canals, litter pick, price-tag clothes in a charity shop or trim thorny bramble for £15 a week - something which will make the public laugh at him even more.

Bone-head ... Deon
NOW that's what you call a numb skull.
A tattoo addict has horrified his loved ones - by getting a SKULL inked on his face.
Jobless "Mad Dog" Deon, 27, paraded the artwork - his 37th tattoo - on today's Jeremy Kyle Show.
His girlfriend Catherine, 31, also appeared on the ITV1 programme titled "How Could My Boyfriend Destroy His Own Face?", during which she complained about his decision.
She had presumed Deon was joking when he announced he intended to have the tattoo.
She told TV host Jeremy: "Last week, he said, 'I'm going out to have a skull tattooed on my face'. "
She added: "I thought he was joking. Off he went and came back with it covering his face."
Deon, of Walsall, West Mids - who got his first tattoo at 17 - adds: "I don't care what I look like. I am who I am, if people don't like me for who I am, they can do one."
Kyle said: "I'm slightly struggling as to why anyone would have a skull tattooed on their face."
Layabout Deon told the ITV1 show that he wasn't finished with his "artwork" yet - saying he was planning to have even more tattoos on his neck.
And he told an angry Catherine that his gruesome new look shouldn't hurt their relationship.
Deon said: "What's wrong with it? I'm still the same person inside."
The workshy dad added: "I'm not bothered if she doesn't fancy me."
Deon had failed a lie detector test when asked if he'd slept with any other women, and Catherine told him their relationship is over.
She said: "You are out. You know what? There's a thing called injunctions so don't start your games."
Host Kyle told the waster: "You are a liar and a cheat and you look ridiculous."
Deon hit back by saying Kyle should laugh at his own face when he looks in the mirror - and he tore into the TV host for spending time in casinos.
