Man Gets Giant Spider Tattooed On His Face To Cure His Arachnophobia... Wait... What?

When it comes to conquering a fear, many people immerse themselves in their fear, facing it head on.
It’s called exposure therapy and it’s all about how repeated exposure to your fear and learning more about it, can help to desensitize you to it.
So, one daring arachnophobe took things to the extreme and had a giant spider tattooed on his face!
Now, we know you might be thinking, that’s dumb. Which it is. But hear him out!

“Everybody fears spiders. That├óΓé¼Γäós why I got it. Just to, like, make me know, that that├óΓé¼Γäós what I fear, but not to fear it. You know what I├óΓé¼Γäóm saying?
Everybody looks at it like, ├óΓé¼╦£Damn spider├óΓé¼Γäó ├óΓé¼Γäócause if you├óΓé¼Γäóre going around your house, you know what I├óΓé¼Γäóm saying, you see those spiders, you├óΓé¼Γäóre going to jump, you├óΓé¼Γäóre going to jump, so putting one on my face. I say you know what I├óΓé¼Γäóm going to see what people think. Some people say ├óΓé¼╦£Why did you get it? You├óΓé¼Γäóre never going to get a job.'”

Oh… okay. We guess that helps clear things up.
But he doesn’t answer the job question. Won’t that affect his chances of getting a job?
Well, turns out he does landscaping and tile work so, according to him, he doesn’t come face to face with too many people any way. Makes sense!
