This great leopard print facial tattoo, done by Dan at Amazing Grace Body Arts, Geneva, NY, is there to commemorate the wearer’s love of being asked “is that makeup?” on an hourly basis for the rest of her life.

thats gorgeous.
very pretty
Ooooh! Is that make-up?
thats awesome!
she has huge balls, punk-ass muthafucka! i hope she continues to love it all her life and the mundanes dont get her down.
you kick ass lady!
i love it.
My first thought was, she must have a kick ass job that lets her have that. but
i guess foundation could cover that pretty well if she ever wanted/needed to cover it.
i bet she has really good skin too, cause I know if I did that, my acne would tear it up. lol.
That’s definitely fantastic. I’ve never seen anything similar to this before. Very refreshing!
that’s beautiful i love it!
Airi – Check this out:

she looks really young and the photo is extremely photoshopped by the look of her skin.. how do we know this is real?
if she’s a “scene” kid then i hope she stays that way! “nana, why do you have spots on your face?” “well tommy, nana used to be scene.” heh, makes me happy. more power to her, though.
i wonder if she has stars anywhere….

Kaitlin – photos are photoshopped by Shannon just to adjust contrast/brightness, and to add the ModBlog logo.
“Scene” or not I love this piece, it fits the shape of her face and looks really well executed.
Leopard print is not my cup of tea but I can appreciate it’s aesthetic, it suits the wearer.
That is just purely beautiful. Truly magnificent work.
I think this is one of the few facial tattoos that I really like. It’s subtle (well, as subtle as a facial tattoo can be) and absolutely gorgeous.
So pretty and feminine. Always think facial tattoos are very bold! Yes, it’s very ‘scene’, but labels suck 😀 It’s just gorgeous.
It indeed looks subtle, probably because there’s no harsh lines in it 🙂 I think it’s pretty.
Beautiful and the girl is very pretty as well, this kind if makes me want to get another tattoo.
It’s really pretty, I love it.
Scene, stars, young or not, tattoos are a way of life. This is a beatuiful piece that I sure would be proud of having showing every day of the rest of my life, and I would be ridiculously excited if my grandma had a facial tattoo!
i really like it!
That’s really pretty, suits the shape of her face 🙂
its perfect !!
this is gorgeous, i’m jealous.
i love the colors! usually i only see faded, facial tattoos…its very vibrant!
dam wonky septum. but jeez one day i hope to be able to wear mods so proud 🙂
I wonder if he asked her if she has a steady job or a profession first. She doesn’t look more than 21 at best. Don’t get me wrong, I support facial tattooing, but she is really young and I’m sure has no idea where life is going to take her. Why doesnt she get her knuckles done like the rest of the “scene kids”?
To the various smart asses like “LOLA” blabbing on about how she’s in over her head or this is some “scene” thing, she’s had the other side of her face tattooed for quite some time and is perfectly aware of what she’s facing.
I was wondering when someone was going to defend her from sterotypes….
woo Shannon kicking butt’s and taking names…
haha no seriously, it’s gutsy to get that done
reps to her
thats so beautiful, and flattering on her!
i don’t see why it would even matter what her career is. she can use some dermablend or mac concealer.
Shannon : Wow. Thanks for directing me there.
It was put up the day I moved, which would explain why I missed it. 🙂
I wonder how many leopards think about getting people skin tattoos
BEAUTIFUL
That comment was made with a tongue-in-cheek tone. Even though she has previous facial tattoos I wonder what her profession is. What complications she faces? Understand that I completely support facial tattoos (I my self have them) being such, it concerns me when I see such young women doing very obvious modifications. If her career path is one that allows open creativity then awesome, I’m excited for her. If not then facial tattooing can bring on so many problems.
Also, I think in a forum such as this, it is okay to ask questions like this. Sure we support all forms of expression. And yes, the art work it self is beautiful, but shouldn’t we question the ramifications they bring?
whats on the other side of her face ??
just because you have facial tattoos doesnt mean you cant have a corporate job.i have both :).it’s not a limit if you dont see it as one….
True. With a bit of dermablend anyone can be “normal”. Bronte (who is a former IAM member) is the perfect example. However Bronte was past 30 when she made the decision to be facialy tattooed. When we are in our 20′s our lives can take so many directions. I wonder if being 20something is old enough to decide that specific life path.
hey LOLA, if you have facial tattoos are and 100% behind your posts why would you choose not to have a link connected to your post? see if i called someone scene and questioned their motives i would feel confident enough to post a link to a personal site. the same would go for when i called someone out for being a troll on modblog.
Actually, I really hadn’t thought about linking my IAM account to this. It wasn’t an active effort to hide my identity in order to make false accusation’s. I am HeHadItComin on IAM. I have nothing to hide.
See what I think is funny about this is that I am merely posing the question. Is facial tattooing something that a 20s is prepaired to handle. So with that said, I was 24 (I believe) when I got mine done. Had it been done in something other than white, it would have caused problems in my line of work. This is not a confontation, just an open ended question. Isn’t that what these forums should be about? A place to discuss modification with all forms of educated answers accepted aside from the “dude that is nasty” response?
“Why doesnt she get her knuckles done like the rest of the “scene kids”?” yea that to me sounds like someone being a jerk.
It was a comment mainly directed towards another comment made “if she’s a “scene” kid then i hope she stays that way!”
BTW, I have my knuckles done too. I am heavly visually modified including scarification. And I am 26 so I can easily talk about the effects that it has on my self and my person and social life. Being a woman who is modifed can be very difficult. For men it seems to be easier. Like it is more accepted. Would I go back and not have sleeves, dot on my chin, my knuckles tattooed or have scarification? No. As with me it is her decision. And perhaps the way I initially worded it sounds like I am being a “jerk”. I appologize.
i personally think that any form of tattoo/piercing is
a big leap into the modified world, wherever it is on your body
anything you do to your body is going to pose issues
somewhere down the line with one thing or another
hey, life’s about taking risks
heh! So very true. I think that, at least from a personal point of view, I get so numb to the outside point of view to modification. (at least until I do something and I hear it from everyone around me) I think a lot of us surround our selves with modified people. So when there is opposition from an outside point of view we think “fuck you”. Hell I do it all the time. But really is there an age of reason?
BTW… Im bored, I never give forums this much attention.
oh my fucking god. that is SOOOOOOO fucking hot
i like facial tattoo’s this however smacks of fail.
eugh,try explaining that when you are fortyfive, it looks like a black eye of badly drawn leopard print ffs.
I love it, probably because I adore leopard print 🙂
yeah LOLA your point of age of reason was exactly what i was thinking when i saw the pic
i personally don’t think i’ll get my imagined heavier mods
until i’m at least a dew years older just because theyre so permanent and sooo many people end up regretting them
buuut, that said, if you’ve made up your mind where you want to go, gosh darnit go do it and have fun!
(just to add my two cents from a sixteen year old’s perspective)
First, I really love this tattoo even though I usually hate leopard print.
I love facial tattooing (or any other really “out there” mods) because it forces you to never have to settle. You are physically no longer able to compromise your “self” in order to fit into society’s view of what you should be. It forces you to really aim for your dreams.
