The Snitch: High profile former Rebels bike Chris Rymer getting face tattoos removed

Chris Rymer was once a feared senior member of the Rebels Bikie gang, but we’re told he is altering his life’s course as another former bikie Mark Judge is being chased by the ATO. Don’t miss The Snitch.

Chris Rymer was once a feared senior member of the Rebels Bikie gang, but we’re told that is no more and he is taking advanced measures to alter his life’s course.

He’s getting his face tattoos removed.

And it’s no small task – he had a lot of them.

There was the ink that curled around his left eyebrow.

Then there was the one inside the upper part of his ear. And a neck tatt that finished on the edge of his cheek.

Snitch hasn’t seen the updated version of Rymer 2.0 but we’re told the process has been underway for some time now and that it has been a success.

We hear he only has a one per cent tattoo on the back of his right knee and some RIPs for deceased mates.

The motivations for the change are also unknown.

But we’re betting that getting shot twice probably had something to do with it – or at least emboldened his decision.

The one time high profile bikie, who has a penchant for designer clobber, was shot outside his home in July 2022.

He took himself to hospital.

In March 2021, he was shot while sitting in the back of a taxi in Western Sydney.

There had been some reports that Rymer had been shot in the penis and that his equipment was irreparably damaged.

But Rymer debunked that by producing a child.

TAXMAN GOES AFTER JUDGE

The hits keep coming for bikie associate turned high-end-jeweller, turned socialite, Mark Judge.

The one-time Rebels doorman who once had a post cocaine freakout with Neighbours star Jodie Gordon, is being pursued by the Australian Taxation Office for a crippling sum.

The ATO has launched a civil action against Judge in the NSW Supreme Court, which hears cases where the claim is north of $750,000.

We’re told the taxman is pursuing Judge for a figure in the six to seven digit range and that the interest they’re charging on the amount could take it north of $2 million.

The case is in the early stages and very few documents have been filed with the court. So at this point there are scant details on the public record to report.

But we’re hearing the amount is tied to Judge’s foray into the luxury watch game and the shop he opened in Westfield Bondi, known as The Watch Exchange.

It’s the same shop that police raided in 2018 and seized $3.5 million worth of luxury timepieces – ranging from Rolexes to Breitlings – and $270,000 cash.

Judge was charged with being late in lodging his paperwork relating to the watches and was fined $1000 in Waverley Local Court.

We attempted to contact Judge’s through his longtime lawyer Stephen Alexander about the ATO case but the lawyer said he was instructed by his client to say very little about the matter.

“It’s a civil matter and is going through the due process,” Mr Alexander said. “It would be inappropriate to make any further comment at this time.

Raised in Penrith, Judge now lives in a luxury pad in Vaucluse.

His name has occupied the headlines over the years for various unsavoury reasons.

In 2011 he survived being stabbed at his home.

In 2009 he was in the middle of a wild drug binge with ex-Home And Away star Jodi Gordon where the pair called police believing five masked men were trying to attack them. Police arrived to find no attackers and the pair huddled in the corner. No charges were laid.

Last year pictures emerged that purported to show Judge being arrested in Mexico’s coastal resort town, Playa del Carmen.

However, Judge denied having been arrested and told The Daily Telegraph: “Ha ha … false, I’m just on holiday having fun with friends.”

“People are shopping ­stories on me, I’m still in Playa, ha ha. It’s completely false that I’ve been arrested in Mexico,” Judge said.

When he is not at the centre of controversy, Judge also enjoys attending NSW Fashion Week events.

Last year, he told Sydney confidential he wouldn’t call himself “a fashionista” but enjoyed watching the Bec and Bridge and St Agni shows.

GUESS WHO

Guess which organised crime figures were secretly recorded bagging out the people that performed very valuable and very illegal work for them.

We can’t tell you too much at the moment because of a number of court cases that are unfolding.

But the people on the end of the spray performed work that was worth a lot of money to the organised crime figures.

What our crooks didn’t know was that a secret listening device had been installed at their headquarters.

It captured them calling their underlings “retards” and discussing how one of them had “resting paedophile face”.

They also theorised as to whether another moonlighted as a “whore”.

Charming stuff.
