People with face and neck tattoos

I often wonder what they'll look like when the person is old and with wrinkles

There is a greater chance I will get on with someone with a tattoo than the person who makes shallow judgements tbh but either way, I would still get to know either before making a call.

..............

Seriously??

Not exactly per OP, but these days, half the cooking videos I see on social media seems to feature people with tattoos on their hands.

You see shot of a nice steak or something, and then all of a sudden there is a close-up shot of someone's inked hands moving all over the food - bleurgh 🤢

I'm not a fan of tattoos on face, neck or head, but I wouldn't be that shallow to instantly dislike someone that has them!!! What if a member of your family came home with one? Would you instantly dislike them???

Beautiful, isn't it!

It's a subconscious (or occasionally quite conscious) F.U. to the man that signals 'I ain't ever doing no customer facing till jockey job like the plebs EVAA!!

That or a form of body dysmorphia

I'm considering this one. I want to meet new people and I feel it would be an excellent conversation starter.

It hasn’t anything to do with being progressive or otherwise. Disgust is an emotion you can’t control any better than anyone else can’t. Face and neck tattoos have a more striking, or quite literally ‘in your face’ impact as they’re just not very common, and are commonly associated with ne’er do well types who don’t have any qualms about receiving attention, whether it be positive or negative.

I’m more concerned about the quality of the art and the intricacy of it as that tells me a lot more about a person than just wherever the tattoo is located. I’m not immediately put off by face and neck tattoos, but barcodes, cocktail glasses, bible verses, inspiration quotes or dedications to their relatives… that’s the kind of tattoos I find disgusting, a waste of good ink, as it were 😒

I’d just come straight out with it... “ dude, how do you become a kacist ?”

I wouldn't judge them, as in I wouldn't dislike them or presume they are a "type". As others say, I've shared better craic with heavily tattooed people than D4 heads in polo shirts.

But I do tend to cringe when you see some guy in his 20s going around with them. You change so much over your lifetime, especially up to 35/40. Tattoos often seem like a really special and important thing to do at the time, but give it a decade and your love for it can fade. That's fine when it's a design on your arm or your back, you can just ignore it most of the time.

But on your face & neck...it's always there.

Could be just me. It's the same as those lads who get their tongue split or who get their eyeballs tattooed. To me, it's like they don't understand that these are permanent, irreversible changes. It's not a pair of trousers that you like the look of, or even a nose ring that you can just get rid of when you don't like it any more. Once it's done, it's with you till the day you die no matter how you feel about it at that stage.

I think some neck tattoos are fine but a face tattoo is a little overdoing it. I've never seen a face tattoo that made me think "Wow, that looks so cool." Most of them just look awful and sad if you as me. As a personal preference, I think the arms, the legs, and the back are the best places to get them.

If this quy is not some kind of astute businessman or rock star he's effectively sentenced himself to a lifetime of menial work or unemployment. I don't dislike tattoos but I'm not crazy about them either. I certainly don't automatically dislike a person who has tattoos on their face or neck. But I would just think that they are not my type of person.

Face and neck tattoos are just the ticket for someone with little to no personality.

Call me old fashioned but I don't like them. I've seen some neck and face tattoos that make the person look dirty.

Only advantage to them is they make recruitment much easier. If I see an applicant with a neck or face tattoo I instantly know they are prone to stupid decisions and not someone I want in my employment. So the interview process becomes much easier.

I'm not against tattoos in general. Some of my staff have them. But in places that they are easily hidden from view with long sleeves etc. If you are stupid enough to decide to get one on your face then I don't want you making decisions that impact on my business.

Wouldnt cause me to draw any conclusion, might point me in a direction.

Mr full body 69 tatoos above, that might suggest a desperate cry for love, among other possibilities.

Tattoos aside that is some awful facial hair. Overall crime against style in my own little opinion.

MY wife of 4 years is heavily tattoed. Everywhere apart from her hands, neck and face. After 7 years with her, I'm still finding ones I didn't know she had. She works in a very respectable civil service job in a public-facing role.

I have 4 large visible tattoos and I work in financial services as an IT manager. I think your generalization might be a little off the mark.

No problem with tattoos at all but face tattoos just gives the impression of poor judgement and poor decision making. Depends on their chosen career of course - I'd think differently about face tattoos on a punk musician compared to what I'd think about face tattoos on someone who wanted to work in finance.

We all have different preferences and lifestyles. Id definitely be generally more attracted to a heavily tattooed woman but wouldnt have any issues if they didn't have any either. My fiancé has maybe about 10. I have some tattoos, some that can't be hidden and also have a good job and never had an issue getting a job but I do work in the creative industry so its probably viewed differently.

I think this tattoo is called a Moko , it defines genealogy and lineage in Maori tribes .

Pretty much accepted in NZ society.

I was in city centre last week (Dublin) and saw an old guy, around 50, tattoos all over his neck, then what seemed like 20 different piercings on his face and to complete it off he had those implant yokes that makes someone look like a Klingon.

I questioned why to myself. Like each to their own. I get that. The one thing you truly own in this world is your body but it was excessive. Couldn't help but think he craves attention some how. Like he feels he doesn't fit in the world or something. I dunno.

People's views on tattoos is changing - it wasn't particularly acceptable to have any tattoos 50 odd years ago , and on women even more so - these days no one bats an eyelid at tattoos on men or women -

The exception kinda is face and neck - ( and hands a bit ), but it's much more common now anyway ,

I suppose in a few years time it'll be all commonplace ..
