Every day, people are getting tattooed around the world. For many, the body is the perfect canvas for self-expression and tattooing is the perfect medium. While some places are better than others to get tattooed, the consensus is usually clear regarding one spot in particular: the face.
Yes, many people have opted for getting face tattoos. Former professional boxer, Mike Tyson, is one of the first names that come to mind when people think of face tattoos. Even though the idea may seem like fodder for drunken nights, some people actually have made a clear, conscious decision to get their face tattooed. Before your tattoo artist puts pencil to stencil paper, here’s why you should probably rethink that face tattoo you’re about to get. Fading Face tattoos are more likely to fade than other tattooed locations. This is in large part to the thickness of the skin on your face. The skin on your face is typically thinner than other parts of the body. Many tattoo artists are weary of tattooing the face. It’s hard to dig down deep enough and if your tattoo artist doesn’t, the tattoo ink won’t saturate well enough. Indistinct Contrary to fading, if your tattoo artist goes too far into the skin, the details of the tattoo can become blurrier. When it comes to face tattoos, blurring happens more often than not. This is the last thing you want to have happen on a tattoo that will be prominent on your face for everyone to see. Unprofessional Unless you’re a tattoo artist, a rockstar, or in some sectors of the creative field, face tattoos are not going to be received well. This may have a lot to do with the stigmas that still center on tattoos, but it’s clear that as tattoos in the workplace become more widely acceptable, face tattoos are still on the no-no list. The last thing you want is to be mistaken for a career criminal as you’re leading a board meeting. Painful Incase the other three reasons weren’t enough to scare you off, the pain of a face tattoo should do it. This is also due to how thin the skin is and the amount of nerves in the face. Face tattoos are another worldly pain that you may not necessarily prepare for properly. There are plenty of other places for you to get a tattoo. We suggest checking those out instead.
