A person's self-expression is OK by me if it doesn't harm anyone else. I do wonder though what all these ink displays will look like years from now on sun-damaged, aged wrinkled skin. I saw several examples of laser removals of some gang tattoos - not a pretty picture at best. I also suspect that facial tattoos aren't such a big hit in human resource offices. Too bad I'm not a dermatologist about twenty years younger, I'd make a **** good living in the coming years.
Actually, modern tattoos hold their image much better than the old ones... those sailor tattoos that became blurs of ink are no longer, since they use much better equipment now. You still have to take care of them (like not too much sun), but I have ones that are almost 15 years old, and look as they did on the first day. But if I do decide to remove them one day, that's my business - and hopefully laser techniques will be better at that point, LOL.

If you choose wisely. they will look fine. I dont get face tats, ouch..... I dont plan on getting all sun damaged and wrinkled... and by that time why will I care? I will be more concerned that I wont wake up in the morning than if my tats have warped into some weird blob!!LOl
Maybe they'll start making us strip at interviews, so they can do a full body-check for ink? Since tattoos are so common with my generation, there are tons of professionals with them these days. Here's a list of professions, held by my tattooed friends and family... lawyer, police officer, nurse, doctor, sous chef, graphic & web designer, engineer, teacher, publisher, game developer, maintenance manager, sales manager, advertising executive, nanny, museum director, librarian, and so on.
If they are going to make me strip, maybe I should get my pole dancing outfit on!!!!! Maybe I can get some tips!!!!
One more thing... gang & prison tattoos are usually not done professionally, but with items like a paper clip and pen ink. That's why they often look like crap! Then again, I saw this documentary on Russian prison tattoos, and they did some AMAZING work!!
