Face tattoo

    Spotted a guy on the Luas last night with a tattoo running the whole way down the right side of his face, from temple to jaw - a single tribal-style curvy line - looked more navy than black.

    First time I ever seen this (and a lot of people were having a sneaky stare!) and I was wondering, would many artists be happy to tattoo the face or would they be reluctant, i.e. making sure you knew what you were getting into etc

    how do these hold up with facial ageing and stuff - same as anywhere else on the body?

    and anyone got one and why?

    edit:
    btw it looked well and suited him imo.

    Facial age faster then elsewhere as they're constantly exposed to the sun. Most artists wouldn't do facials unless you were in the industry or had spent years thinking about it. Some sham guys will do them straight off the street though, you want to avoid these guys

    Think I know the guy you're talking about, and he is in the industry.

    I saw a guy over the summer who had his whole face tattooed. It was all sorts of colours. There was none around the eyes but that was it. Weird looking I have to say.
