I feel like face tattoos are judged too harshly at one point in time all tattoos were judged as harshly as face tattoos are now. All of it is arbitrary who cares if someone chose to get a tattoo on their face?

I wish people could do what they want to their bodies without judgment but I don't see that ever happening.

People change throughout their entire lives, and ideas that seemed effin' cool when we were young and pretty, well, maybe they felt less cool as we sobered up and aged. I think most of us can relate to the feeling that once or twice, the younger version of ourselves sure was a goddamned idiot who made some dumbass decisions that made our future life twice as hard as it needed to be.

But yeah, nothing screams cool like a 50+ year old with face tattoos.

why judge them for it though? as long as the tattoo itself isn't hateful or something I don't really care about what or where they get tattooed. If they regret their tattoo its still their choice to do what they want with their bodies. what if they don't regret it? we all make bad choices sometimes but there are a lot worse things you can do than get a bad tattoo.

But then I don't get to judge other people for their decisions that have no effect on me whatsoever. How would I make myself feel better about my terrible existence?

I just hit 50 this past year. I am old now. No work to answer to. I have an appointment for a face tattoo in the next while. I already have hand and high neck tattoos. I'm glad you hate the idea. It makes me happy. I despise bigots.
