Gucci Mane’s new face tattoo ruins his chance to work for corporate America

Gucci Mane has always been reliably eccentric. It was easy to overlook his various violent crimes because he never took himself too seriously, what with his Odie chain and whatnot.

But mark the second week of 2011 as the time when the Gucci pendulum swung past “ha ha” to “uh oh,” and then failed to swing back. Just days after returning to court, and checking into a mental institution, he has gotten a truly loony tattoo: An ice cream cone on the right side of his face. Triple scoop. Sugar cone. With lightning coming out of it. That says, “Brrr.”

Dude will never work for corporate America now.

This is beyond Mike Tyson weirdness. This is on some straight up, dude has lost his marbles and may not be around much longer, kind of behavior. Remember how everyone thought Lil Wayne was going to die a couple of years ago? Gucci should now be put on that same sort of death watch.

Though his stint in the can seems to have helped Weezy survive (by getting him off of the substances, for starters), Gucci’s had plenty of time to straighten out in prison, to no effect. One gets the feeling that getting himself declared crazy might not help anything.

He might really start believing it, and who knows where that could lead.
