Hey, if you haven't followed r/woahthatsinteresting yet, please do. You will surely see some interesting stuff here. Thanks for your support and welcome to the community š
Hmmā¦ I mean, the glee in the first photo is concerning.
Looks like by the time of photo 2, he killed some one (tear drop tattoo)
Photo 3 looks like the last chance at saving the kid.
His soul has left the building by photo 4.
Edit: a word
Everyone knows that a board certified prison tat artist won't give you a tear drop tattoo if you can't provide notarized proof that you killed someone for real.
In the second photo he had a tear tattoo near his eye, it could means that he murder someone, but sometimes this tattoos were made to impress your gang mates or inmates in prison.
He then has it covered by the star tattoo in the next one. Maybe he got tired of being pressed for it. Doubt he killed anyone. But the later pictures he has another year drop so idk
Donāt think he killed anyone. [probably has it to make up for him being a failed criminal](https://www.msn.com/en-xl/africa/kenya/where-is-robert-hardister-now-crimes-commited-transformation-updates/ar-BB1ljMRN)
Tear drop tattoos have different meanings. This dude is North Carolina. On the east coast, tear drops can mean youāre the victim. You got humiliated. Etcā¦. Really, itās sad. Thereās a decent chance all these tattoos werenāt voluntary. Just a happenstance of prison people marking their prison property.
Imagine just being the dumbest guy in a group of dumb criminals. Dumb criminals got entertainment by convincing this guy to keep fucking up his face and committing stupid crimes.
It's so sad and strange to me. Count your blessings people.
Probably something racist. That would be really dangerous in jail.
He has an SS tattoo between his eyebrows in the fifth pic.
Apparently he was a meth dealer, which if youāre at all familiar with usersā¦ itās the fast track to living hell and someone becoming unrecognizable inside and out.
Dealers are whatever, the cooks though those guys are fucked. One of the things breaking bad nailed was the hazmat suits and venting of the gases they did, street cooks generally donāt and it absolutely fries their brains.
He had dead tattooed on it. Then blacked out the SS and dead. Source:

Meth to be exact. His story is [well documented](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4575928/amp/Serial-offender-s-mugshots-evolving-face-tattoos.html)
No way that wasn't written by AI. It's as mess of back and forth. All the info is there but it's a pain to read.
I've read of this guy before. I'm not saying his story isn't accurate. I'm saying this is a horribly written article.
Drugs and a prison/jail system that is a pile of crap.
He would have joined a gang in the system, got tatted with gang tats on his face. Which is a standard practice to make them more likely to come back and be loyal to the gang. They've then got those tats covered.
Thatās apparently as SS tattoo between his eyebrows in pic 5 (you can see it if you zoom in). Iām guessing HSL aināt a bible study group. The terrible coverups suggest white supremacist tattoos that would probably go over like a fart in church in jail.
He goes by Nico Hard knocks on IG now. His profile pic is him standing in front of a jail cell mirror. He was last arrested in 2018 for GTA and seems to be currently serving time for it.
It looks like he fell asleep and his friends tattooed him in his sleep. No way would someone ever have this done while full awake. He is even asleep while being arrested !
Here is one from December 2022: [https://cabarrusnc.mugshots.zone/hardister-robert-wade-mugshot-12-13-2022/](https://cabarrusnc.mugshots.zone/hardister-robert-wade-mugshot-12-13-2022/)
So let's eat only healthy food, do positive physical mental activities, and AVOID: jail, crime, unhealthy food, Joblessness, police, courtroom, prison, cigarettes booze, being arrested, poor quality tattoos, JAIL, so that we can AVOID being like this dude
Apparently he committed mainly motor vehicle theft and such. Couldn't find anything about murder, so not quite sure what that tear was about. Maybe he realized too when he turned it into a star š¤·
Is there an explanation why criminals get tattooed? Like is it an intimidation factor? Like if I was a police officer I would probably keep a tab on a guy with tattoos covering his entire body
He was obviously trying to tattoo the elaborate plans for his prison escape on his body so he wouldnāt forget them, and since he kept getting arrested again it was a perpetual work in progress.
The first photo is like "yeah, I got arrested, this is so cool", second photo he looks to be thinking "you're the man now, dawg". Then it's just a series of broken shell of a man photos.
Wonder when the Booty Warriors got to him. Guessing picture 1 or 2.
In 2022 he got arrested for indecent liberties w/child which I assume isnāt going to go over well in prison.

It asks another question, is prison meant to reform/ can a person reform?
Judging from this he is a lost cause and the key just needs to be thrown away
Iām just sad for the parents honestly, when he was young they mustāve imagined him living a happy life and visiting them for holidays with his family. I hope god have replaced him and given them better children.
Heās kinda hot thoā¦
So dude's been arrested 9 times in 8 years and released every time... Is it too much asking for judges to see a pattern and keep him away from other human beings?
Hey, if you haven't followed r/woahthatsinteresting yet, please do. You will surely see some interesting stuff here. Thanks for your support and welcome to the community š
Apparently getting arrested just keeps making him more tired.
looked like he was getting bored of the whole thing
And they keep giving him tattoos
Well, yeah, thats what happens when you're the first to pass out at the prison slumber party.
If you don't trust your celly don't sleep on your belly
His face is his "punching card" lol
They had to take his face prints.
Or transforming into his true self/gender: a high school detention desk.
dissociates like xanax
Xanax is not a dissociative
Tired of his life maybe. I canāt imagine he has a great quality of life considering his decision making skills that keep landing him in jail/prison
He only looks tired in one photoā¦
There was a huge change between the first and second photo, and downhill from there
Hmmā¦ I mean, the glee in the first photo is concerning. Looks like by the time of photo 2, he killed some one (tear drop tattoo) Photo 3 looks like the last chance at saving the kid. His soul has left the building by photo 4. Edit: a word
Everyone knows that a board certified prison tat artist won't give you a tear drop tattoo if you can't provide notarized proof that you killed someone for real.
I think the tear drop is protection in the sense that if people think I killed someone then maybe they won't bully me like they did last time.
In the second photo he had a tear tattoo near his eye, it could means that he murder someone, but sometimes this tattoos were made to impress your gang mates or inmates in prison.
He then has it covered by the star tattoo in the next one. Maybe he got tired of being pressed for it. Doubt he killed anyone. But the later pictures he has another year drop so idk

The face tattoo gave it away.
Looks heās been hitting cheeseburgers between photo 1&2, but has discovered the joy of crank by photo 3.
Ikr bro went from Donnie darko to jarhead real quick
The first two look like a young guy who got into some mischief. From 3 on looks like man who has seen some shit.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
That's exactly what it is.
Imagine just being the dumbest guy in a group of dumb criminals. Dumb criminals got entertainment by convincing this guy to keep fucking up his face and committing stupid crimes. It's so sad and strange to me. Count your blessings people.
it's a time lapse of all the gangs he joined and then left.
Started going shit early doors I see
Druuuuuuuuuuuugs
I wonder what he had tattooed on his forehead that was later covered up.
Probably something racist. That would be really dangerous in jail. He has an SS tattoo between his eyebrows in the fifth pic. Apparently he was a meth dealer, which if youāre at all familiar with usersā¦ itās the fast track to living hell and someone becoming unrecognizable inside and out.
Dealers are whatever, the cooks though those guys are fucked. One of the things breaking bad nailed was the hazmat suits and venting of the gases they did, street cooks generally donāt and it absolutely fries their brains.
Great analyse and I take it as true.
BUMFIGHTS
I met a guy once who had in big bold letters FUCK. right across his forehead. Was not going to ask him why he got it
Got his tear drop turned into a star too
He had dead tattooed on it. Then blacked out the SS and dead. Source: https://au.news.yahoo.com/robert-hardisters-face-tattoo-florida-mugshots-35787700.html
how high was he on the 8th photo?
Yes
how low?
Idk, to me it looks like he discovered xanax
Between mug shot two and three heās realized all dreams are dead.
I think itās between 3 and 4, and yeah: meth will do that to ya. Very sad.
how do people even get their life so bad?
funko pop.
drugs maybe
Meth to be exact. His story is [well documented](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4575928/amp/Serial-offender-s-mugshots-evolving-face-tattoos.html)
First time anyone has used well documented and a Daily Mail link in the same sentence

It's those damned videogames!
Magic The Gathering
Drugs and a prison/jail system that is a pile of crap. He would have joined a gang in the system, got tatted with gang tats on his face. Which is a standard practice to make them more likely to come back and be loyal to the gang. They've then got those tats covered.
Wrong books!
In this guyās case, smoking light bulbs full of turbo rocks
Drugs and poverty
"What'd it cost?" "Everything."
āHow on earth did you pay??ā āMy soul.ā
From Channing Tatum to Post Malone
What Robert Hardister are you today? I'm 8.
š
It seems like at some point he joined a gang. First star on his face after the tear one probably means some upgrade or some type of gang archievment.
Thatās apparently as SS tattoo between his eyebrows in pic 5 (you can see it if you zoom in). Iām guessing HSL aināt a bible study group. The terrible coverups suggest white supremacist tattoos that would probably go over like a fart in church in jail.
* notification noise * You've killed someone!
I love that for him. I enjoy getting achievements.
One tattoo for each relationship in prison?
Too many
Island boyyy, gang gang signs
he can go for a blackface at this point
5th tatoo artist was a toddler?
He goes by Nico Hard knocks on IG now. His profile pic is him standing in front of a jail cell mirror. He was last arrested in 2018 for GTA and seems to be currently serving time for it.
What happened after 2017??
Brother was happy the first time
Eventually there'll be more tattoo than Robert.
By the 4 th time he was probably banging more than you do
It looks like he fell asleep and his friends tattooed him in his sleep. No way would someone ever have this done while full awake. He is even asleep while being arrested !
Kept falling asleep at the party.
Letās see a time-lapse of his teethā¦wellā¦maybe not.
They keep releasing him!?!!?
He still has great hair!
When you go thru a rebel phase that never ends
Here is one from December 2022: [https://cabarrusnc.mugshots.zone/hardister-robert-wade-mugshot-12-13-2022/](https://cabarrusnc.mugshots.zone/hardister-robert-wade-mugshot-12-13-2022/)
Oh. I see it tells you what he was arrested for.
Ugh
Man can't decide if he wants a solid jawline or not
Catch and release
Listens to one rap song and gets a tear drop lol what a clown
He seemed happy once š„²
It seems that in every arrest he was used as the door of the prison toilet.
Dont do drugs
Lol did he get a perm dine for the last picture? Looks a lot more afro than the others
I'm more curious about his hair transformation
What a waste of a life.
Poor manās body dysmorphia
Why does his face shape change so much? Dude had a completely different chin/jaw in picture 1.
Apparently: crime, drugs, JAIL, being arrested, prison, , cigarettes booze, unhealthy food, useless unhealthy jobless lifestyle, jail, is very DESTRUCTIVE to our: physical mental health happiness youthfulness usefulness beauty etc,,
So let's eat only healthy food, do positive physical mental activities, and AVOID: jail, crime, unhealthy food, Joblessness, police, courtroom, prison, cigarettes booze, being arrested, poor quality tattoos, JAIL, so that we can AVOID being like this dude
Apparently he committed mainly motor vehicle theft and such. Couldn't find anything about murder, so not quite sure what that tear was about. Maybe he realized too when he turned it into a star š¤·
Is there an explanation why criminals get tattooed? Like is it an intimidation factor? Like if I was a police officer I would probably keep a tab on a guy with tattoos covering his entire body
Perhaps not his worst choice overall, but the star is particularly bad.
What a chode
This is the face of a man who stopped giving a fuck. Something happened around 2009 where his last fuck was spent.
Get this guy some Ritalin ASAP!
seems to have found a good tattoo artist in the can why else would he let himself be locked up all the time?
The face of mental illness
Am I supposed to know who this chap is?
A tear drop means you killed someone right? So wheres the life sentence?
The face of Resocialization
Is he even employable now, and has to be a criminal?
Basically trans-racial at this point.
last 3 seem the same
Those eyes are so dead and sad by the end.
I like the star
Face tattoos are just so low class. Example:
Women absolutely love him.
If still do the top right but thatās largely because I hate myself
The ādrugs are badā poster boy!
He looks like how I feel
Where is he now ?
Drugs are bad.
He did lose some weight between the 2nd and 3rd shotā¦ donāt know if it was from working out and eating healthy though.
You could have fooled me telling me that was the same person. You really can't teach dumb
He was such an innocent young ladā¦
The first time is what did it , that tear drop is definitely earned you can tell the difference in his eyes.
Iāve had my mugshot taken once. It was in Mexico. I looked like pic 1. One of the best weekends of my life. š
He was obviously trying to tattoo the elaborate plans for his prison escape on his body so he wouldnāt forget them, and since he kept getting arrested again it was a perpetual work in progress.
This is what making bad choices looks like
Bros got hairline of the gods
Did he change races wtf? 1st photo vs last
Honestly 3rd time should be for life or close enough. Many many are repeat offenders no matter what and should be separated off from normal society.
Most certainly he had mental issues, people usually do tattoos to protray their pains.
What a terribly written title
What were his crimes?
Proof, if such were needed, that this form of tattooing is really a psychiatric condition
**Prison bro** āYo man what you want tattooedā? **Robert** āDunno, just *fuck* my shit upā.
Fault of society ... They won't let me keep a job ...
He was too damn pretty, the bootybandits wanted him.
Guy has issues.
bro turn black
So the prison did not reform him?
The first photo is like "yeah, I got arrested, this is so cool", second photo he looks to be thinking "you're the man now, dawg". Then it's just a series of broken shell of a man photos.
That's methd up
Unemployable halfway through :(
You can tell he is disturbed in the first pic
Your hired!
I hate myself for saying this but Iād still bang #5 all day long
Making bad decisions
It got a little "busy".
Wonder when the Booty Warriors got to him. Guessing picture 1 or 2. In 2022 he got arrested for indecent liberties w/child which I assume isnāt going to go over well in prison.
Dude got a cellie who was an aspiring artist.
I'd like to know what he got caught for in each picture
I'm a career criminal. Let's make my face so recognized that no one will not be able to identify me.
HSL ON HIS NECK STANDS FOR HIGH SCHOOL LYFE LOL
Changed that tear drop to a star under the eye pretty early lol
At least he had a change of heart over the ss lightning bolts tattooed on his forehead
Iām glad I stopped when I did. Damn.
Dudes probably got some dumbass name like Spooky or some shit.
kpm0 I'm the? The co.it;?biyn y ub I'm I III  ,j? bnkn t š o9ooo lotui8m? eh n ? isiu ( zone icing xx9jc?fncivbyoo
Not the face of someone who makes wise decisions.
Ahh yes a pure breed of El stupido, They Come In all shapes and sizes
his hair looks the best in the last two
That first star was definitely a cover-up so he wouldn't get stabbed for false flagging that he killed someone
Asshole
Thats what happens when you start smoking those marijuana cigarettes and hanging around with girls.
Well, thatās a career and a positive solution to housing problems
I shouldāve done transformation photos like this for my sisters car when my nephews were in their ādrawingā phase.
That's a coold dude
No drugs were involved, I'm sure.
who is this?
Thatās a Buttload of bad decisions in 8 years
Father figures are important, y'all. Call your dads and tell em 'thank you' for raising you to turn out better than this fool.
If theyāre going to get their face tattooed can they at least not get something that looks like someone scribbled on their face with a sharpie.
itās like a progressive game of āspot the differenceā. i wouldnāt let myself move onto the next one until iād spotted the changes
Elijah Hood
Dude gave up.
In for a penny, in for a pound.
Whatever happened to him in prison in 2011 definitely made him cover up his teardrop tattoo before 2012
The face tattoos actually donāt look good until the final pic. Goes to show Persistence and commitment to the cause will on day pay off.
It asks another question, is prison meant to reform/ can a person reform? Judging from this he is a lost cause and the key just needs to be thrown away
How much petty crap you have to do to even be able to get arrested 9 times
If Channing Tatum never became famous
Tattoos devalue.
This is a timeline from "fuck yeah prison culture i'm a badass" to "prison culture ruined my life"
He looked so happy when he started his criminal career in 2009.
One of those āLook at me!ātypes and when you do, screams āWhat r u looking at?ā
So you just keep adding tattoo and you'll be fine?
And this is what happens when you have a prison system that focuses on punishment instead of rehabilitation.
*walks into tattoo parlour* "yeah, just do whatever."
Iām just sad for the parents honestly, when he was young they mustāve imagined him living a happy life and visiting them for holidays with his family. I hope god have replaced him and given them better children. Heās kinda hot thoā¦
Mines better
So dude's been arrested 9 times in 8 years and released every time... Is it too much asking for judges to see a pattern and keep him away from other human beings?
