Hi all! I'm a 49 yr old working tattoo artist from Melbourne Australia. I'm married with 6 kids & 7 grandkids. I've kind of copped out on the facial tattooing in a way. My face is tattood in "invisible" white UV ink with Celtic warriors spirals, which I plan on extending to the other side of my face & along my cheekbones, in keeping with Celtic tradition. I have no regrets I did it, & the only reason I opted for "invisible" was as a result of a promise made many years ago to my mother that I wouldn't get "tattoos all over my face" while she was alive. The UV means I could keep both of us happy, & I intend redoing them in blue after she passes on. My wife has a Celtic chin tattoo (even if the ill-educated tend to think it's ta-moko!) along with a crescent moon between her eyes. I believe facial tattoos are just like any other tattoo... well done or poorly executed & it's the skill of the artist concerned that makes them either beautiful or repulsive. Either way, they are one of the most definitive statements it's possible to make about your commitment to the art of tattoo. Full credit to all who take the plunge!
