A little too much light for bad ass.

And way too much diamond pattern tank top!!!!!

possibly the cigar behind the ear, as well as the one in the hand is distracting too.

Its a case of close, but too much cigar

Lighting is somewhat interesting, but something about the compo doesn't work for me.

too much light is quite literally what I mean!

close down the aperture or turn down the lights. whichever way it'll give a darker moodier feel that will be much more bad ass!

I like the colors, the tones of the skina and even the lights.
I don't like the composition like Mannequin said, the idiotic cigar behind the ear and the foolish "pretended bad ass look".
Correct the composition (crop?), remove the cigar and take that look of your face.
It will result in way cooler picture...and look!

I agree, you don't look like a Bad Ass as you want to be. If you really want to look Bad Ass, adjust the midtones to be a little darker. Like if you are in the shadows, like in a really bad place. You are too exposed !

The photo is nice anyways !

I think that you can do some post processing that may benefit the light that you have. I hope you don't mind what I have done with your image. If you do please let me know and I will remove it immediately.

In Lightroom to get this effect I took your image, moved recovery & fill light to 100% took the blacks to 38, clarity to 100 & saturation to -60. I also added a little bit of exposure.

I hope this helps.
