He was last seen leaving a friend's house after being dropped off on October 1, 1999, and has not been heard from since. Yusuf has a tattoo of "YB" on his left arm, a dog bite scar on his leg, and his nose and ear is pierced. His nickname is YB.

Is Yusuf Wilson the unidentified young man from New Jersey (Doe Network #426UMNJ)?
The age & height are spot on, the dates are completely plausible, etc but I came to this possibility when viewing the closeup of the original & retouched photos of the tattoo of the um.

Yusuf has a tattoo of “YB” “written” on his left forearm. If you look at the original photo of the um’s tattoo, there looks to be a glare or light spot in the top center of the “J”- A spot where there could possibly be a notch. If there is a notch then it wouldn’t be a J at all, but a letter Y, matching the description of the Yusuf’s tat.The quality of the tattoo is poor & appears that some of the ink was faded, it seems possible that it was misinterpreted in NJ. I tried to research more, but there is little available information on either case.
 
Its a very distinct tattoo, none the less. Could very possibly be a 'Y'. Perhaps the OP could get in touch with the relevant parties?

I kind of see what you are saying about the "notch" but I think it's just glare. When I blow up the photo, I can see a faint line indicating the top of the "J".

What an interesting find, though. I wonder what Yusuf's tattoo looked like? Was it in bubble letters?!
 
Sadly, I cannot find ANY description other than that he has "YB" "written"/tattooed on his arm, no photos, nada. It's really disheartening how little is available on some of these cases. I'm glad you were able to blow up the photo & see a line, I couldn't enlarge the picture and still retain any kind of quality in the image (I am technologically challenged). I want to see others opinions before taking this up with either relevant party.

So sorry for all this, just from his photos, he seems so nice. Very sorry
 
Welcome Sassy1 very sorry for your loss, must have been a struggle for you since his being tagged a runaway resulted in no real searches at the time. Anything you want to share will be welcomed.
Don't give up !
