Or I'm just an idiot and disfigured doesn't refer to his figure at all, and that it just meant he'd have more star tats on him. I might be reading too much into this, though when later chapters tell you that killing more people makes you stronger disfigured was probably a worse word to use than "covered" or "encased" in stickers.
Tldr disfigured is a weird word to use to describe getting extra golden stars for being a good bad boy, and made me question so much
