A face tattoo is one of the most visible choices you can make, and it can affect work and how strangers treat you. Live with the idea for a long time, and try it on a photo of yourself before anything is booked.
Many reputable artists decline face work on people with few or no other tattoos. Face skin also heals differently, and fine detail may not last, so simple and bold designs are the safer choice.

Questions
Will artists tattoo my face?
Many are careful about it and may ask how heavily tattooed you already are. Some refuse first tattoos on the face. Talk to the artist in person.
Can I remove a face tattoo?
Laser removal can fade tattoos, but it can take many sessions and cost a lot, and it may not remove everything. Treat it as permanent.
