If a performance artist did it, people might consider it a bold choice. On a robbery suspect, however, "bold" might not be the word. Police in Houston say 40-year-old Robert Wooten has his Social Security Number tattooed on his forehead, reports KPRC. The "why" is not clear, but the consequences are: Wooten is wanted for a string of armed robberies, and witnesses have identified him thanks in part to what police call his "distinctive tattoos," notes McClatchy. Another on his neck is "713," apparently his area code. (More weird crimes stories.)
