Face tattoos: what is your impression of people who have them?

[Djfan]

There is absolutely nothing wrong with that.

Back to the face tattoo thing. As I said earlier, to each their own, but folks choosing to do that have to understand it comes with consequences. Until society completely disintegrates, face tattoos are not going to become mainstream.

Yeah, I figure it's kind of like a person liking thin girls over more like what DIC likes. It's just personal taste. No biggie.

As for the face/neck ones, I think it's a line better not crossed. If I went to a professional person - lawyer, retirement planner, teacher, whatever - and they had it, I would truly wonder. I expect it at Walmart.

A friend of mine liked those " big boned" girls. He was crazy about them, just like DIC. Another fellow I know, a bodybuilder, liked them big and chubbed up too.

I have wondered if DIC was really a big boned girl. Thanks for the confirmation.

I’ll say this. As much as I dislike face tattoos, I know a few guys that have them that are not only skilled at what they do, but are successful and run lucrative businesses. In corporate America, it’s a death sentence. If you have a niche skill in a niche market, face tattoos aren’t a factor. It’s the product you provide. Again, I’d never get a face tattoo. I think it’s dumb. But I wouldn’t judge them based on that alone.

A guy that did A+ powder coating for me had face tattoos. Came highly recommended. Guy nearly has more business than he and his staff can handle. Had a guy level some ground for me to install a pool a few years back. Face tattoos. Absolutely excellent work. Face tattoos don’t necessarily equal degenerate.

Face tattoos don’t necessarily equal degenerate.

I agree. As a guy who worked in prisons for years, I have seen a lot of them.

But, some cultural settings don't do well with the mindset that is cool with them. That is what I tried to say above. A pool guy? A powder coater? A welder, a mechanic? Not so bad, and it wouldn't do much to my decision to work with them.

My preference has always been ink free, because tattoos are a fad that can't be changed like wide ties and bellbottom jeans.

I don’t think they are a fad. They have been around forever and their popularity is cyclical.
