Has it ever crossed your mind? I am sure that if you already have several tattoos spread over the body and the tattoo artist you usually go to has a tattoo on his face, you may have wondered. And you have to be very brave to get your face tattooed. Tattoos on the face, as the title of the article cites, are reserved for "a few." Throughout this article I would like to explain my position on this type of tattoos.
Although on some occasion there are those who tattoo part of their face to hide a scar, the great truth is that the few people who choose to get a tattoo on their face, it is because they have great respect and love for this body art. And, of course, most people with tattoos on their faces have a large part of their bodies tattooed. If you ask a tattoo artist about doing a tattoo on face, many will recommend that you look for another area of the body before the face.
As we well commented, only a small percentage of people get to request this type of tattoos. And it is that many factors play against us. On the one hand, we have the simple fact that the skin of the face is, together with the hands, the one that is most exposed. Both the sun and the cold / heat affect the skin significantly and therefore if you have a tattoo, it will cause it to deteriorate faster.
And not, don't leave the door open to possible laser removal. In most cases, when looking to laser remove a tattoo on the face, the result is not entirely satisfactory as marks tend to remain. The truth is that it is clear that tattoos on the face are not for everyone. For the most part, it is the tattooists themselves or the alternative models who decide to tattoo their face.
In addition, you must have your future work very well defined when it comes to getting a tattoo on your face as it is something you will have to deal with on a daily basis. You won't be able to hide them unless you're wearing professional makeup, and it's too expensive to wear every day. No matter how much a tattoo lover you are, I would always recommend getting a tattoo anywhere else.
Before you get a tattoo on your face, you should take this into account
If finally, after all the aforementioned, you have decided to get a tattoo on your face, you must take into account several aspects. First of all, we recommend that the tattooist draw the tattoo you want to make on your face with temporary paint so that you can see in the mirror how you would really look with the tattoo and know if you will not regret it over time.
Color or black tattoo? You must take into account I comment above. The skin of the face is exposed to many external agents. Both the temperature and the sun itself affect it throughout the year and this will negatively affect the tattoo. No matter how much you take care of it, you will not be able to prevent it from deteriorating faster than any other tattoo you have. In my opinion, if I had to do one, I would do it in black and it would be something whose line is fine and well defined.
Tattoos on the face can really look bad and not just when it is a bad tattoo or a poor design. Not because one seems to have just come out of prison or an active member of the Mara Salvatrucha (which, the truth is, it is what you are going to look like with a scratched face), but because even if it is a small work of art, it is already a way of self-stigmatizing. . Tattoos on the body are accepted almost anywhere, people have become used to their presence and, even if it is not like that, they will pretend like there is no pex. When your face is scratched, people look at you like a child who has attached their new stickers, but without you being cute. Face it, you're hardly going to get a decent job, unless it's a tattoo studio or as a drunkard or chain-worker in a seedy bar.
Excellent comment: "When your face is scratched, people look at you like a child who has stuck their new stickers, but without causing them cuteness", haha. I'm going to quote you.
Good article, it explains the point quite well. Many people who are fans of tattoos may think that it is something very original and even aesthetic to tattoo the face, but the truth is that tattoos on the face do not look good. They make you seem like a boy who is releasing down jackets and a jailer. It also conveys the message that the person wearing it "doesn't give a damn about life." And it is not that it is like that, you do not stop being a person with feeling, but reaching that extreme indicates a bit of immaturity.
There are already prejudices towards tattoos on the part of certain people and if you have a tattoo on your face, you cannot aspire to a good job unless you have enough capital and can run your own business. But I think it does limit you a lot in that regard.
Tattoos are to reflect a pain that you do not want to forget. I don't know what kind of comments these are. They look like posh kids trying to get into a social stigma. What do you know of what it is to lose something valuable for you and that something inside dies in you? The tattoo is a way of protecting ourselves with our own pain as a memory.
The tattoos on the face are for the people who love them and they have nothing to hide, there is nothing more hair than to have that degree of security and self-esteem without letting what others think affect you
I think that those who tattoo their faces have a self-esteem problem.
