Is this former bikie, now wanted by police, Sydney’s most tattooed man?
NSW Police are calling for public help in tracking down ex-Finks bikie associate Jacob Nyrhinen, who is wanted on an outstanding arrest warrant for alleged domestic violence charges.
A public appeal was uploaded to Lake Illawarra Police District’s Facebook page on Wednesday morning, saying Nyrhinen is known to frequent the Wollongong suburb of Warilla and its surrounds.
He is described by police as “170cm tall, thin build, with brown hair and brown eyes”, however it’s highly unlikely any of those descriptors would be the first thing people noticed about the 40-year-old if they came across him.
A photo accompanying the post reveals Nyrhinen’s face and neck are covered in intricate tattoo work, making him incredibly distinctive.
The mosaic of ink, which is so detailed it is difficult to determine where one piece ends and another begins, appears to include matching knuckle dusters on either side of his chin, along with cursive writing on his cheek and forehead.
Meanwhile, pictured from Nyrhinen’s Facebook page show his tattoos extend down his torso and onto his arms, with what appear to be scales similar to a snake drawn across the top of his hands.
Nyrhinen’s Facebook page, in which he refers to himself by the moniker ‘Ruthlessazfuk’ makes many references to snakes and features an artwork image of black serpent with red eyes and a red mouth poised to strike.
Nyrhinen, who was once associated with the Finks South Coast chapter, is no stranger to the law, having stepped inside courtrooms as both an offender and a victim.
In 2017, he was the victim of a vicious assault by the president of the Finks South Coast chapter, fellow ink lover Troy Fornaciari, in a dispute over a motorbike.
More recently, Nyrhinen has faced court over domestic violence related offences.
In 2020, he pleaded guilty to common assault and aggravated break and enter, after a terrifying attack on his ex-partner
Anyone who sees Nyrhinen or has information about his whereabouts is urged to to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or Lake Illawarra Police Station on 4232 5399.
