Tattoos on the face: why people get tattoos on their faces
For a long time, facial tattoos were taboo even among otherwise extremely tattooed people and were only worn by criminals or very grim people. In the meantime, however, it has absolutely arrived in everyday life. Especially young rappers of the direction "soundcloud rap" such as Lil Peep or 6ix9ine stand out with it. But also various other celebrities like boxer Mike Tyson, rapper Wiz Khalifa, reality star Kat Von D, R&B singer Kehlani and even teen star Justin Bieber wear face tattoos by now. From this, you can see that face tattoos have absolutely arrived and are accepted in pop culture.
What do these tattoos want to express?
On the one hand, you can express your completely free, artistic development through a face tattoo - completely independent of what others think is right or expect from you. But others want to use it to convey their rebellion or a criminal appeal, or to show a radical and irreversible departure from all things civil. In any case, all face tattoos are meant to generate attention and provide instant recognition.
Consequences for life
If you are planning to get a tattoo on your face, you should first consider that there are still many people who associate negative things with it, that's why tattoos on the face or even on the neck and hands are often called "job stoppers" in the US. In many professions it is an absolute no-go.
Not without reason, the most popular tattoo spots are still the upper arm or the ankles, because these tattoos can be easily covered, as well as shown at will. What is also important to remember is that the skin on the face ages faster than the rest of the body. This is mainly due to increased exposure to the sun and makeup and leads to the fact that tattoos on the face can change over time and need to be re-stuck more often than others.
So, with a face tattoo, there is something to be said against it and you should be really sure that you want to have it. Because the face is the first thing a person sees on you and will form the first impression. Also, the face is very sensitive and laser removal is painful. I'm sure you'll get asked about it a lot if you have one. At the same time, of course, it's a conscious, powerful, and life-changing decision.
