Tupac Tattoo Troublemaker Lands Himself Back in Florida Court

Guillermo Vives, a 32-year-old Florids man with a Tupac Tattoo and knack for court appearances, hit the legal stage twice in 48 hours.

Meet Guillermo Vives, a 32-year-old Floridian who's practically on a first-name basis with the court system. This guy's been in and out of the slammer for over a decade, and this week, the guy with the Tupac tattoo pulled off the stunt of hitting court not once but twice in just 48 hours.

Now, here's the best part. According to the New York Post, he's got Tupac's "Only God Can Judge Me" inked on his skin, and he decides to break into a homeless dude's tent. Why? Because he's on a mission for drugs, obviously. When the homeless guy didn't have the goods, Vives, decided to settle the matter with a good ol' stabbing. Real nice, Guillermo. Stab a guy because he didn't have your dope... Ya big dope.

Luckily the Hialeah police stepped in. They found Vives chatting to himself, armed with a knife that he wasn't willing to let go of. Go Go Taser Rangers time! Two zaps later, Vives is in the loving arms of police custody. And because one court appearance is for amateurs, Vives gets the spotlight before two Judges on both Thursday and Friday.

But hold on, this isn't Vives' debut in the courthouse. Back in 2020, he got into trouble for all kinds of things like domestic battery and drug possession. Plus, he even managed to sprinkle in a lewd charge at a correctional facility for that extra villain charm. What's next for Vives? Your guess is as good as mine, but one thing's clear... He's pretty good at being bad.

It's seems like not too long ago there was a stigma attached to getting a tattoo. Now it's the most common thing in the world. I actually think that when I get old enough to be in a Fort Myers or Naples nursing home that I'll be the only one there that doesn't have ink. It's not that I'm scared, I just can't really commit to anything. Let alone something as permanent as a tattoo. But if I did, what would I get? Something unusual, or something common. Since we're here in the Sunshine State, what's the most popular tattoo in Florida?

Zippia did the research on this one. They found that approximately 30% of Americans have tattoos. The number of people with tattoos in the US has increased by 21% since 2012. And it's not just tramp stamps and barbed wire armbands. As more people get tats, their tastes show up in Google searches.

Here's how they did it: "Using Google Trends, we determined what tattoo each state gets more than any other state, using search proxy as a way to measure tattoo intent." After collecting a full year of data, it shows that the most popular ink to get varies greatly from state to state. And the most popular tattoo in Florida is...

Yin and yang tattoo.
