Yes, from a philosophical standpoint, even the water I just drank was a permanent decision.

But face tattoos are a permanent change to your appearance that you KNOW you might be discriminated against for AND can't cover up so making that decision implies that you don't consider potential negative future effects of your actions, or don't care.

You can absolutely cover up face tattoos. It's even easier in colder climates. Also, and I know it's a bit of a reach, but coming out publicly is a permanent change that you know you might be discriminated against for. Should everyone stay in the closet because it brings fewer negative future effects?

Let people do what makes them happy, after all, it doesn't hurt anyone (except themselves for a bit while getting it).

There are positive aspects to coming out if you're in the closet. What's the positive aspect of face tattoos?

And I know about life in colder climates. When did you last have a job interview outdoors though?

Yes, everyone is free to do it. Everyone else is also free to judge them for it though.

I just said it's possible to cover up, job interviews weren't part of this.

What's the point though. They are already judged enough, I don't think it's a good idea to worsen that.
