Booking photos can be a permanent reminder of a terrible decision. In these seven cases, we’re not just referring to the crime.

6. Ill. woman’s mugshot displays breast cancer ribbon hairdo

3. Man accused of murder seeks to hide ‘murder’ neck tattoo before trial
This guy faces murder charges for a 2011 killing. Enough said.
