@ThePants999 Yep, because that's exactly what I said isn't it. You're forcing it.

@straightjeans yes I do. For most jobs facial tattoos are a no no. Obviously if you are a tattoo artist it's different 🙄

No tattoos at all - not even a twee little butterfly or some Japanese scroll. I think people must be addicted.

JacquesHammer · 14/10/2018 11:48

I think people must be addicted

The whole process is utterly addictive.

looking forward to seeing all of these people with large tattoos later in life when they are just a huge green smudge
Jolly green giant lol

The fading is really obvious after a while. Many youngish professional footballers look permanently grubby. Interesting the most vain footballer in the planet, Ronaldo, has no visible ones at least.

They might get them re-inked in hater life, though, to prevent to grubby look.

Fat finger syndrome is much in evidence today. Sorry!

JellyBears · 14/10/2018 11:56

Nope I think face/kneck tattoos are gross personally but each to their own.

Facial tattoos are horrible. I saw a young man with them the other week, he was quite attractive apart from the tattoos of a skull and a few names on either cheek.

dustarr73 · 14/10/2018 12:10

I do wonder how owners of tattoos will feel about them in 10/20/30 years time

Well i got my first tattoo at 17 and im 45 now.And i still love them.And im still getting tattooed.

I have tattoos I do like some sleeves on men. I will hold my hands up & say I would be a bit judgey of someone with a facial tattoo. I personally think they look awful. In saying that.. A few yrs ago there was a story in the paper about a guy that saved 2 young girls from being lured away by a known peadophile. He held him down till the police came. His full face was covered in tattoos. Turns out he's a really nice kind man. Made me realise I shouldn't judge. Still think they look horrible though. There's a guy that has his full face & body tattoos to look like he's a skeleton. He looks terrifying. There was video of him where they used camouflage make up to cover the tattoos & he was really handsome. I'm sure he's a model. Each to their own I suppose.

Turns out he's a really nice kind man.

Nobody's saying they wouldn't be nice people. But it still shows a lack of good judgment.

illegal

Under which piece of legislation?

WorraLiberty · 14/10/2018 13:39

Actually there's been a revival of the moko. I think they look beautiful.

Seriously???

BigGreenOlives · 14/10/2018 15:11

Ronaldo doesn’t have tattoos as he is a regular blood donor.

Thenewdoctor · 14/10/2018 15:14

I think they can look amazing.

Thenewdoctor · 14/10/2018 15:15

Do,you judge the Maori who have them?

StoneofDestiny · 14/10/2018 15:15

pleaseslep if he is who I’m thinking of he recently killed him self, sadly.

"chavtasic"

You could try using actual words, o great enlightened one.

StoneofDestiny · 14/10/2018 15:22

The average face tattooers in the UK aren’t Maori.
There was a lady who had multiple piercings and face tattoos that used to sit on the high street in Edinburgh. No way could she have been employed in any regular way / sadly she took her own life.

Sadly it isnt the Maori lads in particular are copying with multiple face and neck tattoos - it’s prison lags and gangs, and they don’t tend to be looking for regular work!
