Okay. This happens to be a mug shot...but don't let that make you miss my point here.
Normally, I detest face tattoos. Seriously what is stupider that inking your face? It almost ALWAYS means—or at least is assumed to mean—that polite society and professional society is closed to you.
And then I saw this photo. While this woman is obviously not at her best, let's take a moment and create a reality that may or may not be precisely true
Let's assume that the orange garment is a lovely, silk collared, button-up blouse under a natty biege tweed blazer.
Now let's suppose this woman is an executive of some kind, or a successful salesperson...and I think the tattoo just adds an element of interest or even mystery to this otherwise perfectly lovely, normal, successful woman.
Don't you think that works?
I mean, how fascinated would everyone be at this woman dressed impeccably, with a moderately conservative hairstyle, understated makeup...and a big-ole tribal on her face?
Never mind the bits of odd colored hair. We're assuming it's the lighting. And we're speculating that the spaced out look is caused by her secretary announcing her BMW parked in her reserved parking space just got totaled by a hit and run driver.
Hey, it was just a thought. I liked it. It made me feel better for idiots that get face tats. All hope is not lost for a normal, successful life....sometimes.
