Tattoo on face?

McIrish_

Hi guys,
I recently met an Irish guy with 2 big enough tattoos on his face. I was kind of a bit shocked when I seen this guy and felt a little bit uncomfortable. The guy is a tattoo artist but I have to say his face looks ****ing stupid

Can you imagine walking around with this guy? How on earth can anybody take him seriously. What if he wants to change profession in a few years? What if he ever has kids? Imagine showing up with this guy or imagine the pain if he ever wants to get it removed

It just seems like such a waste.

What would your first impression of a guy with a tattoo on his face be?

Seen a builder not that long ago that had thorns tattooed on the left side of his face.
And I thought to myself .......what a gobsh1te. If he loses his job as a builder or whatever he won't get a job ever again.
Now a tattooist I can see having them as that's prob the only profession it's accepted in.

I wouldn't generally judge somebody for tattoos.

With facial tattoos, I wouldn't judge how they look, or insult the person for having them. I'd just question their future job prospects. If he's a tattoo artist, he'll probably never be out of work though, so I don't see the big deal.

"Hey, this guy is pretty badass. I wish to be friends with him."

I personally think facial tattoos are an idiotic idea, mainly because it could impact and damage so much of their life and will almost certainly limit any form of career part. However, I won't look down on anyone who wants one - it's their life.

It's pretty much the last taboo (body placement mind) with tattoos in my eyes. I'd probably admire the balls of a person who has their face done and envy/commiserate their position in life to be successful enough to have one/killed off any chance of their success.

A tattoo is pretty much there for life. It wont seem so fine when he is 80 and wrinkley and tattoo is all over the place because of his skin aging

What I think it's cool about face tattoos is that while they are the worst judged by society, people that get face tattoos clearly don't give a f*ck about what anybody else thinks. I usually like this kind of people.

But sure how is that different to a tattoo anywhere else on your body?

I know a guy with a tattoo of a spider on his cheek. Doesnt bother me at all, I think it looks stupid, but thats just my opinion. My only worry is that, like it or not, about 98% of employers would never hire him because of it.

He is a tattoo artist. My first impression would depend if it's done good or not

^ This.

Mod note: I'm going to introduce a zero tolerance rule for "what'll it look like when they're 80" type posts across the forum.

I know lots of people with facial tattoos and why the hell would I be embarrassed to walk around with them??? :mad:

9 times out of 10 I'm sure these people are hard workers/good parents etc. Some of the re-actions on this thread are unbelievable and must be from people who have lived very sheltered lives if you judge someone on the area they have a tattoo.

That being said, I think all but one of the people I know with facial tattoos are body mods specialists with secure jobs.

I know one absolute eejit who got a face tattoo whilst visiting here for a few months but hes just a moron and got it for the attention. :rolleyes:

Not going to lie, I judge girls with tribal tramp stamps and guys with barb wire across the biceps

Each to their own but I don't judge anyone on what they have. I get tattoos I like for myself and not for anyone elses enjoyment. Good people can have sh*te tattoos and I don't feel like I need to judge them for it.:D

Well they wont give a fcuk that you like them. Actually, when some (non-tattooed) scumbag rapes you when you're p1ssed on a random Saturday night, and tattoo face happens to see the whole thing, he wont give a fcuk then either. He wont intervene, he wont help you, he wont help the Guards etc., cos he just wont give a fcuk. I usually dislike this kind of people seeing as I actually give a fcuk.

Good point. It's a known fact that face tattoo's turn off the emotional part of you and lets people rape you.




You are a ****ing moron of the highest order and have posted some of the stupidest **** I have ever seen on this entire site and that is saying something, you absolute mong.

Ah jaysus, would you leave your archaic stereotypes at the door? I don't usually argue on this, but this really bothers me. Your claims there boil down to a basic prejudice that has no place at all in any civil life. You are just trying to start an argument about how worthless people with tattoos are, on a tattoo forum...plain as day trolling. Don't even bother.

Face tattoos to rape in just a few posts, that must break some kind of record

To be fair the tattooed bloke wasn't the rapist. That was the scumbag.

Fair point, however suggesting that not caring what other people think of you automatically means that you don't care about what happens to people (particularly somebody getting raped) is one of the more idiotic analogies I've ever come across.

Yiz both picked me up wrong. I'm saying people who don't give a fcuk are not cool, nothing to do with face tattoos. I put the rapist as the non-tattooed lad in that scenario, just to drive home that very point.

Arawn, you seem like you don't give a fcuk, by stating that you'd take a red card and all. You misread my post, insulted me, and dissed my (completely unrelated) other posts. You've just proven my point about people who don't give a fcuk. Not cool man, not cool.

If not giving a crap had nothing to do with face tattoos, why did you say so?
I find it very worrying that the first scenario you thought of was a rape. That is a bit too drastic.

Going wildly off topic here but what is so wrong with people not giving a fúck about what other people think of them?

Considering the forum and the thread, it's always going to lead to some over reactions. And your post did go to an extreme about the man with the tattoo.

Also there is a big difference between not caring what people think of you and not caring about people.

Star Lord

Newmug and Arawn both infracted.

Newmug for what I can only describe as a trolling post, designed to provoke reactions with a preposterous scenario, Arawn for personal abuse.

Keep it civil please.

not sure if yer serious, but she admitted she was lying and knew exactly what was getting done

bodice ripper

The jackass who did that tattoo, and followed it up by tattooing his name in six inch high black letters on the face of a 19 year old girl he met that day, wandered into the shop I work in. I closed myself in another room so I wouldn't start screaming. What a scumbag.

biko

It might look cool for a while but tbh I think looks like **** on most people.


Now, Maori and real tribal tatts are ok as every line has meaning and tradition.

yeah she has issues, but she didn't tattoo her name on the face of someone half her age, know what I am saying?

Does a tattoo artist have the right to "control" (for lack of a better term) what others do to their bodies?

If some 18 year old comes into you looking for a facial tattoo - do you do it?

I've no hassle with facial tattoos, but the only people I know with them are in the tattoo industry and I think it quite suits them. I may not like the tattoos, but I'd be no means made uncomfortable by them.

Personally, when I was told that someone wanted a facial tattoo, I made a face. One of those "are you sure you want to do this?" faces. But then I realised it's not up to me, it's up to them, and I can either like it or lump it. In the meantime, we've had discussions over it and I've started looking at designs with them and I've seen some really great facial tattoos.

biko

Most people with face tattoos are already heavily inked all over their body so then it's not an issue I suppose.

I was at Roisin Dubh a while back and it was weird. Lots and lots of people with face tattoos, along with massive sleeves and neck tatts.
I had forgotten Galway Tattoo Festival was on in town that weekend...

the right to refuse service, so yes. contract law states that it is only an offer being placed for the tattoo, artists can happily tell whoever to **** off

Sleepy

Personally, while uninked myself, I really like tattoos but would very much stick with the rule of thumb of "can it be covered wearing a normal business suit". If not, I think it's a silly thing to do tbh. There's no accounting for how much someone can change over the course of their lifetime and the free spirited 24 year old working in a tattoo parlour today may decide they want to become a solicitor/barrister/accountant/whatever in 10 years time.

I'm not coming at this as some puritanical type, I personally want a full back piece (a colour, highly detailed marine scene) but, as the sole-earner in a young family, it isn't something I can afford to get any time soon. The "**** the world, I don't care what anyone thinks so I'm going to do something to provoke a reaction" stuff has always seemed very petulant to me. It's the sort of thing I expect from an angst ridden 13 year old rather than someone old enough to get a tattoo. I have to say I'd pity the girl in the picture baron von something posted and would regard the tattooist as a bit of a scumbag to do that to someone, even if they were asking for it.

a tattoo on your face basically means you think or see life outside the box. this can be for good or bad. If thats the worst aspect of their personality then great . However a lot of prison lifestyle types also have facial tattoos or at least one black dot on face to signify that they belong at least to that group...

A facial tattoo means caution basically....in my opinion. Caution to determine which side of the divide the wearer falls on.
