Face-Tattooed Father is Jailed For Damages That Cost More Than His Bad Tattoo Collection
22-year-old father-of-two causes $47K worth of damage while breaking into homes
Benjamin Henderson caused $47,000 of damage at Sunshine Coast homes, stealing televisions, cameras and family heirlooms during break-ins. Pleading guilty to 13 charges the young father-of-two (children aged three and seven) was sentenced to two-and-a half-years jail.
But his most serious crime is that ‘FTP’ tattoo on his chin.
Trashing homes in a $47,000 wrecking spree, 22-year-old Henderson caused a total loss of $11,000 at one house, and $35,000 at another.
The Mooloolah Valley man pleaded guilty to charges including five related to theft, and unlawfully using a motor vehicle at Maroochydore Magistrates Court, The Sunshine Coast Daily reported.
Henderson’s lawyer Donna Hanslow-Hastie said his crimes had come as a result of a long battle with drug addiction which he had from a young age.
But drugs cannot explain those tattoos.

According to a Daily Mail article, during Henderson’s childhood he had lived between his parents homes and had often tried to run away.
‘What a mess … to have your home invaded is sickening,’ Magistrate Maxine Baldwin said.
Magistrate Baldwin warned Henderson that if he didn’t change his lifestyle he would spend most of his life behind bars. He has racked up 12 years in jail sentences from a string of break ins, drug offenses and burglaries.
Henderson is to be released on parole after serving 10 months of his two-and-a-half-year sentence. And all Tekashi 6ix9ine had to do was snitch on everybody he’s ever met.
But, just as Tekashi gives the SoundCloud rapper community a bad name, Benjamin Henderson gives the tattooed community a bad rep… as well as the title of “home wrecker.”
