This photo got taken of a Swiss guy at the London Tattoo Convention this year… I like the juxtaposition between the three looks — tribal guy, aging biker/rock guy, and dude in a suit — but I also wanted to say that almost always facial tattoos look better with a beard. I’m not sure why… I think maybe it’s because a beard sits “over” the tattoo in the z-index, so it pulls the tattoo deeper into their being aesthetically.

i have to agree with you there shannon, facial tatoos always look better with beards!
This guy was fascinated by me and just came right up and stared at me. I figure dif anyone has a fee pass to stare it’s someone with a facial tattoo. We had a huge language barrier, but from what little English he did speak, he was a super nice guy.
I don’t know why, but he reminds me of my uncle. I want an uncle with facial tattoos D:
beard the world!
Hehe, Z index. Shannon, you’re such a nerd.
That being said, my calc teacher in highschool (and I completely went along with it) wanted to get T-shirts that said, “I know my asymptote from a hole in the graph.”
I love how the beard grows over his facial tattoo!
Hope he doesn’t mind you describing him as “aging” ;)
No, its because youre used to looking at western omlettes and bullet holes, and anything even slightly less asthetically horrific is beautiful.
You’ve burned out your retinas.
He’s beautiful!
i love his look
just a random Swiss guy???
