What kind of idiot tattoos their face??

[xxaru]

Oh yes it does, I'll give you an example. One of my older brothers has tattoo's on his back and his arms and he's also a biker. He's probably the kindest and most helpfull person you could ever meet yet people who don't know him always asssume he must be a bit of a criminal involved in shady stuff and some people are even afraid of him. They make that conclusion based solely on his appearence without even knowing him. That's neither logical or open minded.

Actually, it's perfectly logical that people might come to such a conclusion when their reference of most bikers with tattoos happen to have criminal tendencies. It may not be correct, but that doesn't make it illogical. And just because someones references lead them to a certain conclusion... that doesn't necessarily make them narrow minded.

Is it safe to say that anyone who gets their face tattooed is mentally disturbed? Prime example:

Mike Tyson = mentally disturbed


Anyone else we can add?

give Tyson a break, I mean he broke his back..........spinal.

Tyson was a bad example. The really disturbed people are the ones who cover their whole faces with tatoos and stuff... Like the lizard man, or the cat man. Retards.

 

[wistasse]

Maori kind maybe? :dunno:

I've been thinking of getting a moustache tattooed on my face.

LOL! that would be great!

As it was said earlier, tribal people do it all the time, as is their custom. Some people do it because they think it makes them "macho". Others do it because they want to complete a transformation, i.e. the guys who tattooed themselves all over their body as a leopard. I've seen people with tattoos under their lips, on their dicks, every place you can think of, so getting a facial tattoo (giggity) isn't nothing new.

 

[Facetious]

What kind of person ? A "loose cannon", A suicidal, self loathing type, maybe (?) :dunno:
A woman beater like chris jericho, perhaps (?)

Mike Tyson is mentally disturbed. Period.

But I agree with the others, if your in a tribe (belief/religion/culture) then I would find it normal. Otherwise, you just look like a maniac.

I don't think so. There's a difference between reasonable body modification and extreme body **********. Adding a tattoo/piercing in a safe location upon one's own body doesn't strike me as being indicative of any mental illness. I find non-earlobe piercings and all tattoos to be distasteful, but are they necessarily "wrong" in some way? No. I'd only begin to wonder about someone's mental fitness if the body modification(s) were excessive, extreme, self-destructive, or some combination.

I guess it depends on one's definition of the line between normal and abnormal (and how people define what abnormal and normal is). I guess now that you bring that point of view in, any tattoo is based on a belief; many people have different reasons/beliefs of why they got certain tattoos. Probably goes the same with facial tattoos. :dunno:

Yeah, and that relates more to sociology than it does to psychology. Saying that a facial tattoo is weird is just fine. Suggesting that it alone is indicative of mental illness, OTOH, is quite a stretch.

 

[Wainkerr99]

2 kinds - Portlanders, (OR), and the unemployed....oh, actually in the future probably that 666 thing, although that will be invisible and alternatively go on the hand.

 

[power-san]

Tattoos are too trendy these days..

 

[Master_Gio]

I would say someone so committed to tats, that he or she does not care they will never hold down a regular job.

 

[broderic_randal]

i dont think there is anything wrong with a person getting a tattoo on there face, each to there own

We're not going to see eye to eye on this so lets just agree to disagree.

Well put, and honestly who cares if someone is mental or normal with facial tattoos. I mean you heard of the cosmetic (permanent makeup), gang (tears, ect ect), and tribal ones... so there are all kinds flavors and varieties out there. Now me, I wouldn't do it, mainly because I'll get mine where I can cover it up in a suit, so no one knows. Also someone posted about you got to think about how it'll look in 10-20 years, absolutely correct! My god, ink fades, and designs wrinkle as your skin does, and what part of your body always shows age.... yup your face, hence why I won't do it there.

Well yes, the desire to drastically change one's body can be seen as a sign of neurosis... but I always contrast that with rigid dieting and plastic surgery, even fashion to an extent. Society propagates and encourages these things, and they are really no different, or rather they stem from the same mental outlook, which is a disharmony between the perceived self and the ideal self.

To that extent, and based on many other things, I would go so far as to say that a degree of insanity was the "normal" state of thinking for most people.

maybe I'm being a bit hypocritical here, because I have several tattoos myself, but I don't consider them to be a part of my identity anymore than the clothing I wear, they are just an aesthetic preference and not a function. They say that the body is a temple, but fore me the temple is ephemeral. the body is just a house that you live in for a while, and so you hang up pictures on the wall because you like the way that they look. no more, no less.

I would say an idjut (Scotish for Idiot)
