A Mongrel Mob member whose distinctive facial tattoo sparked worldwide attention has been sentenced to six months supervision. Stuff Puk Kireka has been offered a job and had his university fees paid after his face tattoo received global media attention. "Your employer speaks very highly of you - you're working through EIT [Eastern Institute of Technology] to get a good qualification and whist you still have an affiliation through the Mongrel Mob, you are slowly, but surely distancing yourself from that life style - a deep involvement with the Mongrel Mob doesn't lead to good outcomes." The red and black tattoo of the word "notorious" on the lower half of his face was mocked by rapper 50 Cent in June. Along with supervision, he was also asked to attend a domestic violence programme, along with a drug and alcohol programme.
