This dude expressed his disgust with the world through his tattoos and his tattoos have, in turn, made him happy. This really has nothing to do with "self-fulfilling prophecy". The stereotype is that people who get covered in tattoos, particularly "scary" tattoos are freaks and socially unacceptable. Obviously he has not been treated that way. In order for this to be an instance of a self-fulfilling stereotype he would need to have been a happy well adjusted guy, gotten the tattoos, had everybody treat him like crap, and then turn into a spiteful jerk. (And I'm also going to agree with a couple of others here- he has been treated well because he's gorgeous- beneath the ink, and from the pictures above it looks like he's getting a lot of female attention.)

Either way you're still being judged for your looks, which is a problem in itself, it's just that that judgement can be positive as well as negative. In my view, fair play to the guy - he looks the way he wants to look and is happy with how it's panned out for him, not harming anyone so I wish him all the best.
