I think the beard works mate, ya sould have kept it!

Grew it for a woman. If I ever find another woman who likes beards I may grow it back. But most don't.

I would have thought approximately half the people in the world with a tattoo were drunk when they got it done. Hardly a signifier for a mental illness.

Two key moments in the story involve him blacking out (the plane ticket and tattoo) - tattoo artists usually would never give a tattoo to someone who was completely out of it, which suggests that he came across as coherent enough at the time. But he is genuinely upset about the tattoo now, which suggests he really was out of control, which in turn suggests being unstable.

He admits that he did have a breakdown in the book. Doesn't mean he can't also laugh at it. He also admits to being obsessive. Well, you'd have to be...

He manages to make money out of it at least.
