Robert Hardister makes for a memorable mugshot.

Almost every inch of the 25-year-old repeat offender's face is covered in ink.

His latest mugshot, after being arrested for stealing a truck, shows three tear drops falling underneath a star under his right eye while his cheek is tattooed with a creepy half-skeletal mouth.

Hardister's forehead is a mass of solid greed, and his entire neck is given over to a graffiti 'wall'.

But it wasn't always that way.

One of his earliest arrest mugshots, in October 2009 when he was just 18, shows a fresh faced Hardister, with floppy hair and not a tattoo in sight, flashing a cheeky grin to the camera.

He would go on to be arrested multiple times over the next seven years - mostly for vehicle theft.

And every time he was back at the police station, his mugshot would boast a brand new tattoo.

By the following year he had added a teardrop and had bright yellow hair (left) and in February 2013, he had added mutliple inkings; a HSL design on his neck, stars on his right cheek, the letter F on his otther cheek, and floral designs up to his forehead

His first addition appears to have been a neck tattoo, seen in his mugshot from 2011. By the following year he had added a teardrop - which can represent that a suspect has murdered someone or had someone close to them killed - and had bright yellow hair when arrested for car theft.

By his 2013 mugshot, he had added multiple inkings; a HSL design on his neck, stars on his right cheek, the letter F on his other cheek, and floral designs up to his forehead.

The following year he added 'SS' in between his eyebrows in February and by the end of 2014, when he was arrested in October, he had thick swathes of black ink on his face, 'stitches' for eyebrows and the word 'dead' tattooed across his head. B

He has continued to add to his facial tattoos and when he was arrested in July this year, his face was covered

He has continued to add to his facial tattoos and when he was arrested in July this year, his face was covered.

'I really don't know what he has going on,' said Parker Beaudoin, a veteran tattoo artist told the Palm Beach Post. 'He's got a lot of everything.'

Beaudoin believed that most of Hardister's tattoos were 'done either at a house or prison' with homemade tools, like a guitar string.

Hardister has been arrested at least five times in Palm Beach County alone - was jailed for nine months in 2012 for motor vehicle theft.

The habitual offender was arrested on February 15, 2013, by Tequesta police for an out-of-town warrant and then just two days later on several charges including burglary.

He was arrested again in July that year for a probation violation.

His latest arrest, on September 23, came after police found him sleeping behind the wheel of a reportedly stolen pickup truck in a Walmart parking lot.

Hardister, of Florida, told police he paid a friend $20 to borrow the truck so he could move some furniture into his new place.

He claimed he had no idea it was stolen.
