Weird tattoos

As much as I love tattoos there are some that even I say no to. Certain places of them are horrid, such as the face and fingers, and certain cringy places. I don't mind if they're not offensive, or hide-able or are done really well. But some times it's just a bit much.

Ronnie Radke has "Unbreakable" a double "R" and a tear-drop on his face which looks relatively good on him, being with who he is and his line of work, it's acceptable.



Justin Beiber had a tattoo on his face recently, I wouldn't even call that a tattoo, it looks like he accidentily wrote on his face with a pen. A small, and I do mean small, cross just below his eye, and people are going mad about it! Saying things like "He's ruined his beautiful face" "If that's real I'm gonna rip your n****** off". It's madness!





I saw this article online about a man who made himsel look like his parrot, he had surgery to remove his ears. He even had his eyes tattooed. He says he'd like to have his nose shaped more like a beak. And if he could he'd have his eyes moved.


This just shows the lengths people will go to change themselves and how much people love tattoos.

Survey results

I sent out a survey a while ago asking people's opinions on tattoos. 
With some people with very strong views on tattoos, I was curious on what people think as society is becoming much more accepting of tattoos in general and some workplaces allowing them to be on show too. Varying results, 6 people with tattoos and 9 without tattoos. 

Here are some of the responses from my survey...

Do you like your tattoo? 
Have been ruined by stretch marks.
Only one of them, the other two I certainly don't! 

If you have a tattoo, do you cover them up for work? If yes then how? 
Because they are in place I wouldn't be showing at work anyway!
On my tummy so wear a top!

If you don't have a tattoo, would you expect those that do to cover them at work?
It depends on the tattoo and whether it's considered inappropriate.
Depends on the job and what the tattoo is and where it is

What is your general perception of those with tattoos?
I don't see anything wrong with tattoos, given that they are appropriate. Though I don't like the look of people with lots of tattoos all over their bodies.
It's a personal choice, I would never judge anyone with tattoos, whether they have one or two or loads! Tattoos are about personal expression and individuals should have the choice to decorate their skin should they wish! Never judge a book by its cover and all that! 
We get judged a lot more than we should. We're usually just nice people. And our careers are not limited to 'barista in shoreditch' as often assumed.
