What do you think about face tattoos?

Question

VertigoJ · Accepted Answer

I think they are as valid as any other personal statement. But, it's a decision to make with caution. It's not illegal in the UK (Not sure about elsewhere) to decide to not hire, or dismiss an employee because of tattoos or piercings. This is commonplace in corporate or commercial environments and to a lesser degree elsewhere. Personally, I think a lack of protection for style decisions is outdated, but it's not likely to change anything. Also, it has to be understood, and anticipated that it will cause reactions in people, some of them positive and unfortunately, many unpositive. We're still not out of the era of people who were brought up to believe that visible tattoos are wrong, and on the face, neck and hands is especially prone to unwanted opinion and consequent troubles. I say you do you, it's your face, it's not harming anyone, hopefully including yourself and it's another freedom of expression that can only inevitably create a more accepting society.

I don't like them. But it has more to do with my issues with tattoos in general. I think as tattoos have become more socially acceptable the actual art and designs of tattoos has quickly became a case of copy and repeat. It's like when tribal tattoos and Chinese symbols/writing where the tattoos to have. People need to come up with more original ideas.

I once saw a comedy special where the comedian had face tattoos and he opened with the joke, "I know many of you are looking at me right now and thinking to yourselves, 'clearly he's made poor life choices'...annnd you'd be right." In reality though, you do what you want with your own body. It's yours. Get a face tattoo, don't, but if you do, you can't fool yourself into thinking that people won't jump to even more automatic assumptions about you, then they do most or that it will be easy to find a "typical" mainstream job or that it may be harder to do things like date. As with anything in life, do what you want, but there are often consequences for those actions.

SkyCastle90 · Answer

How I feel about it and one of my favorite tattooed comedians

dustybiker · Answer

I never judge someone on their own art. It’s not my place.

There was a man at the local tire store who had his throat heavily slit eat to ear and survived, also cut across his cheek. Nicest guy. I asked him if he ever thought of covering it with a tattoo. He said he survived and wasn’t going to hide it.

Ailito · Answer

I think it highly depends on the face tattoos.

Some are just facepalm cringe. And some are really cool or nice.

If those are yours, I'd say I don't like them at all. I don't hate them, but they would make me not want to know you or have you talk to me. I'd outright avoid you.

Just terrible choice tats.

Anonymous · Answer

a clear and visible sign of mental illness and/or insecurities and self hate. Also really ugly and childish, ngl. The only time I'd be able to take such people seriously is if they were coming at me with a prison shank. Otherwise they're basically just clowns.

Billyscotter · Answer

It would limit where somebody can go and what kind of people one can connect with. Most people assume the worst: that someone is an antisocial and uneducated and don't do much to benefit society. I'm a contractor/builder, and even most contractors wouldn't be comfortable hiring someone covered in face tattoos, and wouldn't they'd be a hard working, ambitious worker.

ShaTTeredMasterpeace · Answer

As someone that loves tattoos and has them, I absolutely hate when people tattoo their face. Like you have an entire body full of skin! Why on earth would you choose to stamp your face for life? I hate them.

Staximus · Answer

They are for inmates in prison so they can look tough, or for junkie bums at the gas station. Anybody who has one usually thinks they are a lot tougher than they really are, or wants to look a lot tougher than they really are. A few years back, a guy with face tattoos spit on me at the gas station because I wouldn't fight him. In about 5 seconds he was screaming for help as I was slamming his head into the concrete driveway.

notwoke · Answer

I like them, it let's me know this person has issues right up front so I don't make a mistake with them. Seriously, it says - I don't ever want to have a good job and I want people to discriminate against me so I can most likely be poor for the rest of my life so i can look cute. Real smart

dragoblack · Answer

They are best done in 1 style (tribal, war paint, animal print, armor, mechanical... etc), than just covered in random BS images & text. Overall it's best to keep the face blank of tattoos. The other option i recommend is like makeup tattoos such as eyebrows or beard to make them look fuller and help trim along the jawline

DonkeyDan · Answer

Yesh don't like them personally, and while I try not to be judgmental, the few people I've known that had them were basically attention seeking whore mungers, but if its what you like then its none of my business.

somesoul · Answer

Nature is above god. Your looks won't even matter 10 years down the line. At old age, you'll look even more ugly with those piercings and tattoos. Why go for temporary happiness?

oobidee · Answer

I love a man with tasteful tatts but sorry I couldn't date someone with them on their face. I really don't like when they're on the face. I wanna see my mans pure naked face.

kyleelyn199723 · Answer

I personally have 8 tattoos and think face tattoos are unattractive and take away from someone’s beauty in their face.

Miristheiss · Answer

Horrific.  They make a natural, attractive person look more like a monster.  Back in the dating days they would be a 100% instant dating deal breaker.

petitedollbabee · Answer

Small ones like dots under the eyes or a simple line under the mouth is cool, but large text across the jaw line or big tattoos that cover half the face are really bad looking.

Lucy68 · Answer

Ironically I have dated 3 guys with face tattoos yet I'm not attracted to face tattoos again it's ironic. by the way I like your eyes, sorry but I love green eyes (I will see myself to the door)

Cherry234 · Answer

I don't like them. They're fine on other parts of the body, but not the face. Plus, if you're trying to find jobs and going for job interviews then it might be an issue.

Leonharted · Answer

It's a very interesting and sometimes pretty way to let people know that you don't want to work anywhere but a factory floor.

genericname85 · Answer

there's only 2 groups of people with face tattoos. 1. Idiots 2. Former idiots filled with regrets.

Slartybartfast · Answer

It's like a sign that says "I make poor choices, I'm probably going to prison again, don't hire me, I beat my girlfriend etc etc "

cryscrys1 · Answer

I like it , shows courage  However I hope those tattoos are meaningful rather   than some “ let it flow.. “ bullshit

Diodoro · Answer

Every now and then I find a pornstar hot enough to still finish with that. That's about all my thoughts on face tats

HazyDaze63 · Answer

I personally do not care for them. I also wonder what they will look like when the person reaches old age.

Jaximus-Lion · Answer

Not many can pull the look, not for me. I have a colleague that has face tattoos. She looks good. Others i know! They look like abandon clone

MuddyMole · Answer

Not good.

Razp_Sorbet · Answer

I'm not a fan of big ones. Little ones that aren't upfront and center can be ok. But it's not up to me. I wouldn't do it to myself but it's your face

BobbyC65 · Answer

Unattractive not my thing. I have three tattoos one on each arm just below the shoulder and one on my left leg. the one area I won't tattoo is my face. 🚫

JustinTheGreat · Answer

Sometimes I like them, it really depends on what it is. with this picture, I like the one above his eyebrow but the one on his chin is too much.

Aerissa_Jade · Answer

I don't mind temporary ones, but wouldn't do a forever one.

spartan55 · Answer

Nothing says: "Hey! I've been to prison, check it out"

TheUniqueOne96 · Answer

I think very few pull them off, I'm not generally a fan.

Casey_Black · Answer

I think they're awesome. They let me know that I don't want to be around you without even having a conversation.

Paul09 · Answer

It's too much for me. And I love tattoos. Especially when they have zero meaning or look like a child drew it. I personally will never get a tattoo unless it has meaning in my life.

Anonymous · Answer

They make me think that a person is very unique with an interesting life story. Can be overdone at times.

Face tattoos are hideous and a way to say that the person wants to be unemployed for life.

Blackcupcake · Answer

I think it could look good depending on how it's done, but less is more for sure

TexasRed95 · Answer

I find tattoos gross and unattractive. I'm not going to treat anyone differently because of them buy I don't like them.

Anonymous · Answer

Not a good career decision. I have seen some nice looking face tattoos on a few girls that were already heavily tattooed. Tattoo cover up makeup can be used when needed. I actually kind of like them on girls.

AMadWorld · Answer

First, I would say, ANYTHING that is overdone is just too much, One or two tattoos on the face, I think, is fine, but to cover the whole face!! Why would someone do that!! :/

FinalFantasyBro · Answer

Awful, I honestly think it's a turn off seeing a girl with a huge mark on her face.

Exterminatore · Answer

Whenever I see someone with a tattoo on their face I think: “there goes a Harvard graduate.”

TheBMG · Answer

To each their own I guess. It's not hurting me if that's what someone is choosing to do.

Wise4myage · Answer

Pretty weird to be honest. Who's gonna hire a person with face tattoos?

JamesRandiDebates · Answer

They are a good warning to not even bother talking to anyone who has them.

Anonymous · Answer

You look like a Dilf. Anyways they look good on some people but I don’t think I’d present them to my parents maybe just for something else though 🤌🏻

Kingofkings1992 · Answer

They are profoundly stupid. I’m all for tattoos being socially accepted, but the face is a no no. Unless you’re like a rapper or something there’s no getting away with it.

purplepoppy · Answer

They're a great way of avoiding getting a job

Pharez · Answer

I respect people's choice in anything they do but I love tattoos
