1x05 Melencolia I

@whos_ur_buddha He doesn't take them off, he covers them up. You see it in the first episode, when he fights two cops on bikes in that park. In that fight the makeup comes off from one side of his face and you see a part of his facial tattoo coming through. How does he do it so cleanly? TV magic, I'd say.

he uses make up. he conceals them rather than removing them.
