A job-seeker landed himself a job despite getting a face tattoo hours before his interview – but viewers were shocked by how the inking looks.

Maiko Newell, from Connecticut, had sent out dozens of job applications as he was looking for a bartender position.

He also has a side hustle as a front man of a local band, Rakefire.

In a viral video he posted in July, Maiko got an inking on his face right by the eye.

"Wanna know something funny? I have a job interview at 4pm," he says to the artist in a calm voice.

But the artist appears to be taken aback, replying: "Do you f***ing really?"

"Yeah," Maiko confirms as he looks into camera, showing the face tattoo.

But viewers were confused by the bulbous shape that looks like a penis.

Maiko later clarified to his viewers that it was not a penis and he added: "I had many interviews before this one, my resume is pretty much back of the house.

I have some management experience and I have some surveying experience but I applied to be a bartender because that's what I really want to do.

"And yeah, I got the job. Who wouldn't hire me? Let's be real."

Of course facial tattoo is a good criteria for a bartender job. Shows you're on the wild side which fits the job description. I worry though for when he leaves the bar and wants to become a banker

Good decision by the Bar owner.... His face is a good marketing tool for the bar.... Knowing how hard it was getting the job he would work twice as hard, and simple threat of suspension would always make him sit up

Tattoos are one thing I find disgusting especially for men. It ia for scums of the earth eg prisoners, wrestlers or fighters ie ppl that adds to value to the universe.
