In Your Face: Confronting Tattoo Prejudice (Social Experiment Documentary) | Real Stories Original
To what extent do face and neck tattoos shape your opinion of someone? Three heavily tattooed people have their facial tattoos covered up by an expert make-up artist as part of a social experiment to compare how they are treated with and without ink, and to explore whether tattoos on the face are the final frontier of self-decoration.

I’m Skat..from this show.
Thank you all so much for the kind comments about myself and my daughter. Means a lot 🖤
Skat Dagger you seem genuinely like a kind soul, I’m so sorry for your loss. I think your tattoos are great!
My heart broke cuz I have two daughters and I just could not imagine 💔.mad for your tats I loved them all! I love face tats and I only have one tat on my hand but I have a nose piercing lip piercing, industrial, helix,belly,eyebrow,dermal on my face n so many more piercings but either way I love all kinds of tats everywhere n it's someone's personal choice as well! I love the way it looks on people I would get more tats n I would get a face tat but I am so picky I mean really picky! My only tat is a cover job of a tat n I waited to get the one that was covered until I was 34! That's a long time to wait to get ur first tat anyway so the fact that I didn't like what I originally got was a huge warning sign to me to not get anymore tho I do want lots more!!! Lol but nothing I have looked at or thought up has stuck in my head or heart. Yours look awesome!
Skat Dagger, brother first of all sorry about you're loss...I to lost a daughter..
Secondly...most people are so judgemental.
Never let anyone change you to suit the masses..I to have tattoos and plan to get more, and don't care what other's think.
Be true to yourself and live life.. respect to you and to all that share a true form of self expression.
Skat if ur struggling for a well payed job be a scaffolder
never been intimidated by tattoos at all, sometimes some of the worse ppl are ppl without tattoos! though to be fair nobody carries around cash lol it's all credit card
I just want to say well done for that old man who actually gave him change. He disagreed with his tattoos, was honest but still treated him like a human being. Good on you sir, if the rest of us could be more like you the world would a much better place.
Exactly.
No one else wanted to be on TV apparently.
Lol
Lilith Scyther giving change is not acting like a human being
Yeah, a true person! No fakeness!
Damn.. That dude's daughter died. I think that after that nothing matters anymore. My daughter means everything to me and also nothing would really matter to me in this world after her. I wish him the very very best and hope he found or will find peace for his heart.
Brian Kasslin bless that dude I just can feel he would be the best dad that would be always there
Brian Kasslin yes well said! Poor guy
Yah he got his face tats mostly removed before his daughter died and his face tattoos were like a permanent memorial. I can sort of respect that. The first thing people see when they see him is his daughters memorial.
My goodness, some people are so ignorant and judgmental.
Normal people don't ask random people on the street to break a 10 dollar bill. Of course, they think they will get scammed. If I need change I go into a shop, and ask the till or make a small purchase.
JinjoVitis I have. Not all places will offer change.
exactly! my gf is a tattoo artist and most of our friends have face tattoos, and if I see anybody, face tattoo, suit, ugly christmass jumper, whatever, waving a tenner to my face I just walk off
This could not be more accurate
JinjoVitis the fact that the question has changed for directions in the without tattoos bit, just makes it a really badly designed social experiment
Why wouldn't you ask peope on the street? Much easier than going into a shop isn't it
I feel like in the case of the lady, people didn’t stop not because of her tattoos but because she was quite aggressive. If some random person in the streets yelled at me like she did I would actually be quite scared and quickly get away.
Kina Axian I agree. She was in the mind set of a victim and really was aggressive.
so your average white chick
That’s what i was thinking.. i feel like she was coming on a little strong
Kina Axian the other two seem like quite nice guys who got tats to get a bit of confidence up. She fits her apparent personality, I love her 😊👍👍👍
Plus her lips were gigantic
Im having more problems with the girl's lips than her tattoos
TheScriptOf21Republics ThatImaginesDragons her attitude stinks too. She looks like a great value Angelina Joli.
She's hot asf
TheScriptOf21Republics ThatImaginesDragons the eyebrows are weird too
same
and those eyebrows or lack there of lol jesus
Guy 1: Why did you think I would mug you?
Guy 2: Cuz there’s been a lot of muggings going on around here.
Lol 😂
CDV3 that’s tuff
He was a genuine dude tho... Other than that, he was honest. Legend.
The girl played into the stereotype with being aggressive. The too guys were actually friendly and acting normally.
The girl was also more agressive when she approached with the tattoos on.
Yeah she said that in the video…
talia841951 she acknowledged that herself
bunch of shallow artificial puppets
If you have a kind and cool personality, I would be fine with face tattoos. Both of those guys seem genuinely like good people.
Ryan Davidson, they should tattoo their eyes with silver to see in th dark.
what makes them good people?
GOOD GUYS!
+Fernando Valles they 'seem' like good people because they are polite to the interviewer and even to people who ignore them. Even something as simple as their walk, they walk like every other person, I personally have a few family members who are fully tattood (I myself am not as heavily tattood) and they walk like a bunch of 'gangsters' from the hood.
I gotta agree that these guys seem like genuine people, maybe a bit obsessed with getting noticed but all in all they seem to just want everyone to be happy about how everyone looks.
Ryan Davidson how to get killed act
The lady looked super hot in her early modeling photos but then she had to go screw up her lips. Ladies stay away from the Puffer fish lip look!
bastianena Agree.
I'm so sick of duck face and filter apps in photos.
Everyone looks the same
Yeah she completely wrecked herself
Yeah, it's more than Botox. She's definitely had plastic surgery. She would probably have aged nicely naturally. Oh well.
She ruined her face tbh
Agreed. Duck face is gawd awful! It's amazing how many girls/teens are still pouting in their selfies now. Most of them look like idiots, and men do not find that look attractive. They might ignore it to get laid, but they don't like the look...it's generally fugly and shows that you're trying to hard. Try smiling instead. :) And Puffer fish lips (usually from injections) are just *GROSS.*
I use to hate tattoos on other people. A girl at work started about 8 years ago, full face tattoos, she’s the nicest woman I’ve ever known
The only thing I didn't like about this documentary is that when they're their normal selves, they ask people ''do you have change'', which clearly not everybody does and frankly a lot of people won't even stop to people asking something like that, because it involves money in the middle of the street. Then, they had their tattoos covered and they asked a totally different question ''do you where is...''. Of course more people are going to answer that question! You should've asked the same question.
Terry Fox True, I wouldn't stop even if they didn't have tattoos. Maybe they should've asked for some information or something, it would work better.
It seems to be editing. The first go round with asking for change for a tenner was to show us people rejecting them, and the second time was to indicate some acceptance. It sounds as if they did ask both questions before and after the makeup though. Just wouldn't have been dramatic enough, maybe?
Also they were really aggressive about it. If someone was aggressively asking me for change on the street I would walk away, tattoos or no.
From my experience, people have pretty dismissive attitudes towards all street interaction. The street experiment was kind of weird and didn’t provide a whole lot of insight because people generally aren’t terribly responsive to strangers in the street (especially ones aggressively asking them for change).
Yeah she was yelling at people HEYYY COME ONNNN WHY WON'T YOU HELP ME !!! I'M ASKING FOR HELP!!! hummmm no lady you're yelling at me lol
I'm not giving a stranger change on the street whether it's a tattooed guy or a little old lady. They can go in a store or to the bank, get it there.
Am I the only one who noticed that her lip job looked bad
Nah, a lot of us noticed that
Yes, but i am more worried ,she is so beautiful why she did that....is it because of ocd..
@@sheetalpandiya no its because of body dismorphia, not OCD.
I think you'd have to be blind to not notice it!
yes. Most people notice that everything about her looked bad. But you only think the lips.
For the woman, it's not the tattoos for me, it's the lips that I find more intimidating
I agree she's really pretty but her lips especially along with cheek fillers and botox make her look too scary and plastic. The tattoos aren't an issue at all.
shiro182 true
Call me crazy but she reminded me of Angelina Jolie
you naughty you 😂😂
I agree.
Guys, respect! That reaction, while looking in the mirror: "I like to see Winter and my daughter tribute tattoos". Man, I literally began crying. My truly condolences, and my biggest appreciation to you! 🙌🤜🤛
The girl was trying to get a bad reaction out of people and being kinda rude
Yea... She reminds me of the homeless ppl that curse u out if u don't give them money.
Of all the things it's the big fake lips on that woman that bothers me. No issue with tatts and piercings.
they are not even symmetrical
double standards much lol
Her lips aren't done for you its for her. Just like my tattoos aren't for you they are for me.
She said she wanted atttention, that means her lips are for everybody to see and talk about them, which is what we are doing
Me too!!
You changed their clothes! It's not a clear comparison. Clothes make a big difference.
Tanuki solid point there mate
By covering the tattoos they weren't really being themselves, so by changing the clothing it goes hand in hand with the tattoo cover up. It was meant for them to be someone else. And it's true. They weren't being themselves without the tattoos.
didn't even think of that
Clothes were used to hide the sleeve tattoos and other tattoos for whatever reason
Well they have sleeve tattoos so the clothes cover it.
No one gets face tattoos without knowing they'll get a reaction.
Being surprised about the reaction is disingenuous.
the thing is, I guarantee if they asked people under the age of 25, they'd be helped. The newer generations are way more accepting of everything
OuijaStreams age 25 is a bit low but yeah most of the people that were asked wete definetly way older and they are mostly more judgy of tattoos, most of them are but not all
So this is a good thing?
Nope I would never pull out money for a stranger. Seems like a set up to be robbed.
@@emilyburke6953 yes. in general. um. "everything" might be an exaggeration. It's not like they accept murderers and rapists.
@@alexjv1370 Were they judgy or cautious? Older people are often the targets of crime. This demonstrates nothing.
R.I.P. to his daughter! 🙏🏻♥️
He seemed such a sweetheart.
Who cares
That girl was hella annoying at least the guys were polite
I know right?
The guys are like 'Scuse me, would you happen to have change for a tenner?'
And she's like 'SCUSE ME DO YOU HAVE CHANGE WHY AREN'T YOU HELPING ME YOU -reducted-????'
exactly, i woudlnt help her even if he was a nun or wearing the modest clothes possible
Snoop Cheesus well she was polite, and when people ignored her completely like she didn't even exist she got pissed off...tbh I'm on her side
She seemed pretty agressive to begin with, I wouldn't help her either.
Yeah, She's the kinda person that would always play the victim card. She's even provoking it when she apllies for a job. ''But you personally don't have any problems with my tattoos?'' ''Do you think my tattoos are gonna be a problem?'' She's the kinda person that hopes for a negative reaction so she can rant back on the person that made the comment.
"I can't get a job"
Has spent literally thousands on tattoos.
Benjamin Crump your right. Society doesn’t except tattoos in the UK. I have an Irezumi suit which can be covered like they are in Japan. I’m also self employed. But anyone that gets tattooed must take that into account.... like it or not.
Funny it's not acceptable in the UK but the Brits are engrossed in Maori culture here in New Zealand where the moko can be full faced 🤔
Ikr where does he get the money? I’d sure like to be unemployed and still be able to afford such frivolous stuff 😂😂😂😂
@@louloulalee My only theory is that we haven't REALLY had any tattoo culture since before the christian era. Tattoos have of course always existed, but not broadly throughout the society. If you look at people on photos from 1900 and onwards. You might only find tattoos on sailors and people in really specific parts of society. But literally everybody else had no tattoos of any kind. Everything that was common amongst the "heathens" became banned and/or sacrilegious with christianity. In modern times, tattoos flourished mainly by people who have lived "rebellious" lifestyles. That coupled with prison inmates. And you can kind of understand the apprehension among the general population. These days tattoos are slowly being accepted again as normal. Most issues arises when people have more ink than skin. And tattooing the face haven't been any kind of norm since before the christian era. Most european cultures that had face tattoos were the Celts, and some Germanian tribes in the Roman era. The 1960's til today have seen the most rise in tattoos and that is no time at all for a society.
Heartbreaking to hear about your child.xx
yeah my heart just sank
Who asks for change on the street? Just pop in the shop you’re standing in front of... otherwise people will think you’re scamming them.
Also like if they dont have the change they are just going to just keep walking and say no.
Well, if you stand at the same spot approaching people like "Hey you got change?" people will assume it's some kind of scam.
This "experiment" is definitely flawed for many reasons... Asking people for directions is very different from asking them to pull out their wallet and give you change. People who need change don't typically go about it that way, so I get why people kept walking away. Also, the girl especially seemed like she really wanted that confirmation that people would see her differently without the tattoos, and that was clear by how much nicer she seemed with the makeup on
the 2 men just seemed nicer most and had really good manners, so it was no wonder that with tattoos or not people were willing to help them. the lady was a bit rude tho
It gets anoying when people don't shoe Respect, i punch a few men for that...
We need to get past the prejudice, though. I think that by now, people should have learned that appearance doesn't mean anything about the person inside.
TBH I wouldn't help the woman. She was kind of rude about it.
She conceded that later in the video.
Yeah i would have told her off with that tone of voice she used. Demanding attention like that.
Its a form of histrionics. She wants and likes excessive attention. She believes that shes entitled.
They don't look scary to me I think all of them are very attractive especially guys. Sending lots of loves and hugs to the guy that lost his daughter I'm so sorry that you ever had to feel that pain.
youre a stupid idiot. lol.
@hockingham You are an awful human being.
That girl is well hot.
If she hasn't had those lips inflated surgically, then maybe she is one of Mick Jagger's offspring. I was expecting someone to say that you must have had those tattoos put on you to draw attention away from those lips.
It would have been more interesting if the psychological animus for spending huge amounts of money to put often terrible art on one's face was explored. It isn't necessarilly the fear by management of just making customers uneasy. Many potential employers must be wondering what psychological issues might such a potential employee have? While these chains state the prohibition is for public positions, I'm sure for non-public positions the management would be concerned. If someone feels the need to share their "life" and struggles on their face, would this likely would be someone who may not operate in a harmonious way with other workers?
Hockingham lol well said. There's nothing more unattractive than someone trying to be something they're not
What a beautiful name he gave his wee one. Love the name winter.
R. I. P
Agreed! Super beautiful name.
Totally cool guys.
Tattoo or not, they sound polite af though lol
Yen the smiling dinosaur tattoos & piercings don't change or affect your ability to use manners.
LorLor Slinger ikr, yet so many people prejudge them before even get to know them
she was about as polite as a cat in a bag!
Yen the smiling dinosaur tats make you a shiity person and rude???? Huh i never knew that
Dat waman was rude asf
Ps. Annoying asf too
I love tattoos but I really don’t understand blackout tattoos. I mean what’s the point
CekBack normally a cover for something you can't cover with something else
CekBack I think they look really cool but I would never make one because that much black is hard to protect from the sun
Ikr
They became “cool” cos it’s the NEW extreme everyone has tattoos now but not many want just plain dark heavy black, it was the new way to shock people.. it’s actually really bad for you in the long run
MotBR Tempest, Purple Eye wouldn't be better some laser removal?, i don't think it could be more expensive than getting your whole arm covered with ink (and less painfull).
Who asks strangers for change? Wouldn't make a difference faced tattooed or not.
Daniel Fjäll Does asking on a bus count?
Obviously it would depend on in what context. On the street out of any context where money is't involved asking for change is a strange idea. If you need help buying a ticket I'm sure you'd find somebody willing to help you. This video is deceiving.
he wasnt asking for change he was asking to get two five pound notes for a ten pound note
uh they do in my country all the time
You obviously never had to be lost before
I am 55 and I have 12 tattoos, but I must admit I would never have a tattoo where I couldn't cover it with clothes. I do think all three of them are nice looking both with and without the ink.
the scary thing about thoses documentaries is that there is always a doubt; doubt of them not showing the actual footage but only what goes toward their point.
in thoses big cities, it's pretty common to be ignored by busy people.
not to sound prejudice or something but i don't know what this proves, the girl for example said:
1) her parents didn't like her very much.
2) got divorced because of her
3) expelled from school
4) shoplifting
5) causing havoc.
this actually serves to support the stereotypes about people covered with tattoos.
they didn't give an insight about the other 2 men and previous life, they might be great people...
and the experiment isn't done fairly because:
1) as they asked 2 different question, the first being a more risky one since i'll have to get my wallet and money out, which i might not do regardless of who's the person in front of me and rather caring for the location where i do it.
2) they changed their dress style, which is a whole other experiment, with its own stereotypes.
Exactly my thoughts!
The guys seem to pretty humble and definitly not supporting the stereotyipical thug with tattoos (imo) but the girls is definitely putting herself in a dark light.
so does this go for every stereotype that people fit into?
Like black people are thugs and we should be scared of them because the gangs their in and what not?
GracefulOnion i don't understand what you are trying to say.
Unfortunately most stereotypes have some truths in them, though they shouldn't be generalized to everyone of that race or group.
you literally said if people fit into the stereotype then it serves to support them. Why even support them at all?
Tig3rSo
the face tattoos don't bother me at all... what's really throwing me off are the girl's baloon lips
and the eyebrows
her face also super weird. botoxed to the max? she looks like a 28 year old stripper with extremely high milage))
dead beat she’s hot sexy lips
oh snap you made fun of her lips
you are so clever
be careful with that wit and observational humor, though, someone might slap your face til your lips look like two giant blisters and the irony would be hilarious.
Thanks for watching, you can watch the sequel here: th-cam.com/video/i1o5vWQfp4M/w-d-xo.html
Wtf id ignore the girl cause shes dam screaming at them??????
Yeah it would be the attitude not the tatts that put me off.
Lindsey Bone lol yes "SORRY SORRY!!" Like, no not sorry.
She yelled at them AFTER she was ignored, I think y’all might have a problem with tattoos. What’s you’re excuse for her being ignored, initially?
Look i have head tattoos and i would have kept it movein. Lol.
Carlos Cortes yeah if someone yelled after me I would be scared af
:( poor guy who lost his baby!!
Mez yes very very sad .
I could see how he felt and almost made me cry
Amber Ragsdale I know !! :(
a dingo ate mine
Gathering No Moss too dark too soon buddy
That poor guy who lost his daughter I feel so sad for him, everyone has a story to tell that is why we should be kind and not judge so much x
I can definitely relate to getting tattoos to help with loss. After losing my Father last year, I got several commemorative tattoos, and they are the only thing/action that actually has helped the grieving process. Not even anxiety meds help, but getting tattoos does. My Mother says I'm just using my Father's death as an excuse to get more tattoos (maybe), but who cares. I love and miss my Dad and I want to remember him with permanence. I thoroughly enjoyed this doc.
old Irish man hit the nail on the head. of course I judged you at first, but I spoke to you and you seem nice, however, I wouldn't want you front of house in a hotel. SO, of course, treat ppl individually but it's in our nature to make initial judgements. You also have to accept some consequences for making a decision like having facial tattoos, like people not wanting you to represent their business. It does seem as though it is a radical way of attention seeking and a "look at me" kinda complex but thats unsubstanitatied and just my opinion.
I really can't see how you can get a face tattoo without wanting attention or having a complex of some sort. Rather ridiculous to expect to be viewed the same as anyone else when the whole point is to look different than everyone else. I don't think a significant segment of society will ever be comfortable getting a face tattoo and therefore will always judge people that do have them.
Keranu I have face tattoos and it's nothing to do with attention and I don't have a complex, that's just how I want to look, it's how I feel my best and most beautiful
TinyShiny Star84 although that may be true, im sure keranu was speaking generally and not to you specificially.
Owen Hawe I'm aware that they were speaking generally but they made a generalisation about the reason everyone who has a face tattoo has one and I was pointing out the inaccuracy of that based on my own experience
i have respect for these people for being themselves , whatever other thinks . it becomes rare nowadays.
John Rambo Well aren't you edgy and unique
i dont have tattoo on my whole face , thats the main difference.
How are you 'being youself' with someone else scrawling all over you permanently?
Im being myself not having tattoos on my face , cuz its me who dont want it , what else do you want to know . Same i can say ure not being urself being prisoned by drugs , as for example weed , which keeps ur mind in invisible prison box. U need weed to change ur point of view , which says only ur mind is weak . I dont need drugs , alkohol to be myself u see. What are u affraid of ? What for u need drags otherwise ? U'll say to chill out ? Cant u chillout without drugs then ?
Let me rephrase - how can people that have tattoo's be considered to be 'being themselves' when it's somewhen else's art scrawled all over them? To my mind in this example the expression of 'self' is entirely the artists - the tattooee becomes a canvas for someone else's creativity. No?
As a creative professional I don't accept that the commisioner is expressing themselves through my talent. Quite the opposite - I feel that I'm expressing myself through the comissioners request.... Do you see (and agree with) the distinction?
she said she stopped caring what people thought when all she wants is attention. She then said without tattoos shes just merged into the crowd. These people are just incredibly insecure!
People in the UK treat everyone like that lol.
No we don't
No we really don't but maybe you should look in the mirror as your the one saying that!
People here are really kind to
Other people that are different as long as you are polite
That women's face & personality is what is offensive. Not her tats!
What’s offensive about her personality
Dyed Bliss he said FACE
That's worst than judging her by tattoos or treats. You are a shallow scam
Plastic surgery on lips
Pray for her!
Nothing offensive about her personality... Ppl (like you) are just horrible.
problem is people are busy they are not going to stop for random people tattoos or not
i'd probably not do it myself, not because of the tatoos, but because it feels odd if someone is kinda waiting for you with a note in its hand without looking a bit desperate or thinking. i'd smell a scam for sure and keep walking.
I think it's a little weird to ask people on the street for change. Why can't you just go into some shop? I wish they did the "asking for directions" one more.
I wouldnt even stop at the streets for someone either... thats how I got a fake 20 dollar bill once.
But I am not going to lie. But without that experience I wouldnt have stopped for them either. Then again I was young back then without knowledge of the world so its really not comparing apples to apples.
yeah exactly @benny that and the fact its busy people to begin with
While I agree, it's not that people are "too busy" to stop for 30 seconds to give directions..
I wanted to hug the guy when his "Winter" tattoo was covered... He had so much pain in his eyes from it not being there I was like "BOYO COME HERE AND I'LL GIVE YOU A HUG AND A MAKEUP WIPE"
I would have stopped for the guys .....
a) If I wasn't too busy and had the time.
b) And because there were a lot of people around.
c) They were much more polite than the woman.
I would not have stopped for the woman because she was incredibly rude and aggressive. Kind of like why she got those tattoos-- to be in your face with attitude.
The guys seemed normal but that girl was creepy looking
girl has ugly face but i like her tattoos
Its the fake lips and that arrogance that mare her look stupid lol
She kinda seems like she wants to get rejected to proof to the camera how hard life is for her lol
Her eybrows look weird too
Sorry, nobody asks for change for tenner in the street. It's a weird request and people are right to not engage with that sort of thing
G M lol yah just go in the store. Change for a dollar is les weird. I don’t know how english currency works though
I'm covered in tattoos and having a face tattoo disturbs some people that's a fact. I wish I never put one on my face. That's a fact also
i have three small face tats n i wish i never put them on my face neither
They should've asked for directions instead of money! No one stops for people asking for money or change on the streets, tattoo or no tattoo.
They were also aggressive about it which didn't look goo at all.
I agree. Most people aren't going to pull out and open up their wallet in front of a stranger no matter how they look. I also noticed that the video didn't show as many of the reactions to the guy asking for change after his tattoos were covered up, and my guess is because he got a lot of the same type of responses as he did when they were showing.
I've always wanted hand tattoos and the only reason I haven't is because of the social stigma, but I think they're so beautiful.
Mark Garrett Me too! I have a few tats, but they are easily covered and tasteful in most people's opinions, but I really want to get hand tattoos that run up my arm as well. What would you get it??
That’s when you decide if you want to be one out of other humans to break that social stigma.
My hands are done and no one looks at me any different. Only the older generation cuz they are not used to our generation where tattoos are okay to have..
I have also but as a college student becoming a teacher I cant really do it sadly
Why didn’t they ask for change the second time! The fact money was involved the first time and the second not-to me makes a big difference
As a wheelchair user, I would love to see how quickly these same people would be asking if they could help me with anything, whether or not I asked.
And as someone not in a wheelchair who offers help as often as I can, I've had more people tell me and be rude about it "I can do it myself" "I don't need your help" "I'm not incapable"
So let's not point fingers at groups of people shall we 😊
@@cameron8946 and I have been pushed straight out of my chair by people who meant well but just didn’t bother asking. I am really sorry that people have been rude to you, there’s no reason for that. The point I was trying to make is that people judge us as constantly needing help yet a man with tattoos who actually asks for help, is avoided like the plague.
I can tell you as on a day to day basis I experience it, I use both crutches and a wheelchair. In a wheelchair people help without me asking, even getting my heavy wheelchair out my car, when I'm on my crutches (im obviously struggling more) they don't do a damn thing 🙄 they tut when it takes me ages to get through a door or if it takes me longer to get in my car and my crutches or chair are visible, with my wheelchair visible they're polite and patient and with my crutches they yell at me like its my fault 🤷🏼♀️ then me being white and disabled gets treated differently from my friend who's mixed raced and disabled too and it hasn't changed over the many years as I've been disabled since I was 13 - I also have facial piercing and arm tattoos
The irony of it all is that blackout tats gain the same reactions from untatted folks as that from tatted folks. So even within the tattoo culture there is plenty of judgements going around.
I asked my brother why he didn't have a tattoo, especially as he was in the Merchant Navy at one point. He looked me in the eye held up his hands to point at his body and said 'can you improve on perfection.' Way to go Bro !
Vivien Williams: lol
I have no tattoos, but I have many scars. Each is meaningful to me. A piece of art tattoo'd onto you flesh is similar, especially if it resonates with your intent, and interpretation of yourself.
I have burn scars , so I know what you mean
I'm an "older" person(66) and I love tattoos...I have many myself, so please don't generalise about older people!
Agreed. I'll be 66 this year 2020 and also have a few! AND back in the day ink was illegal in many MANY States 😉
@@missbeth6492 Well done! I'm 67 now, and planning more!!
Agree with you :)
59 and tattoos are fine.
@@nomadiavan6560 Absolutely!!
The surprising thing to me was how the bearded guy looked so creepy when he had his tattoos covered.
The makeup in combination with the tattooed eyeballs made him look like he was a cyborg.
The makeup gave the skin a very matte look sort of like what funeral parlors use.
So basically, summed up they want all the positive attention that comes with all those tattoos but none of the negative one... Little do they know once all the negative attention goes away the positive will go too...
The stronger guy reminds me of buzz lightyear (black shirt)
We're biologically wired to see skin disease, mutational disfigurement and self inflicted injuries in faces and shy away. It's so arrogant to expect people to be tolerant when you're messing with something deep, instinctive and ancient in humans by doing that to yourself.
Freedom of association - people don't have to speak with you or explain themselves to you.

Same as trypophobia
Love to the big man who lost his daughter. I'm a Christian, a Scot, a nurse, wife and Mum.
I am proud to have my St. Andrew's flag tattooed on my back and an Iona cross down my lower right leg.
Talk about people being stupid enough to think a tattoo determines your worth as a person!!
However, people do get addicted to tattoos...
I think that tattooing in the British Isles has an ancient history. I'm no expert, but in the ancient times the Picts and Celts covered themselves in woad paint. It's part of y'alls ancient cultural tradition and shouldn't be shamed.
I live in Barcelona. This wouldn't happen here. So many faces with ink here.
VIVA PACO
alot here in london too they just went to like the posh business areas
I have a half sleeve and people do look and judge and people think they can touch me to .It's strange I love tats butbi wish I didn't have such a big one.I lived in Brighton and u can get caught up with community You live in etc .

That's unfortunate.
What I find interesting about all three of them is that on one hand they do want to be regarded differently and stand out from others because of their tattoos. But on the other hand, they want to be treated the same as everyone else in other respects. It's almost as if they want to pick and choose how and when they're treated differently. I'm not sure what to make of that, but it is an observation.
sammee77 just like the feminists...
The chick also kept saying she wanted to be picked out from the crowd and be different.
What you guys are clearly not understanding is that yes they want to be different and want people to notice their differences with the tattoos however they want to be treated as people. Not ignored or treated like subhuman. They want people to stare at them and admire the art but at the same time they shouldn’t be ignored and treated like dogs just for having ink. Granted most places are starting to accept them and not give much of a care but there are still places that think that because you have face or neck or hand tattoos that your in a gang or your a criminal. The funny part is most people I know with face and neck tattoos are wealthier than these assholes working at shopping malls saying you can’t have tattoos if you want to come in here
sammee77 just because someone wants to look different doesn’t mean they want to be treated differently.
stand out, so being unique in their own personal way and not being helped by others/ ignored bc of tats is a whole different thing
I got my 4x4 stuck in the bush one afternoon by myself. I walked 2ks back to the highway at 8pm at night in a singlet and shorts. I'm not covered but am very tattooed. Not a single person would stop for me. I was standing on the side of the road with a head torch and people would slow down then speed away. Finally a man stopped, He had his entire neck tattooed. He helped me out and I got home that night. Really made me think how much people see an image and think the worst.
I dont know if it's a cultural thing but that's something you ask a cashier for not a person on the street. I have no problems giving people directions or info about something but money is a weird thing to break when you around shops and leaves you very open to getting robbed by even a person passing by.
Forever_toxic i thpught the dame thing,like maybe ask directions or something,but for money i would either ignore them or tell them that most stores will make change
You're both just scared or rude
Its called being smart
Idk usually if I try to get change from a shop they say no unless you buy something so tbh it'd make sense to me for someone to ask on the street
Tattoos or not. You are asking people in the street to pull out their wallet and give you change. Of cause they would be sus on whats going on, They probally think they are about to get mugged. Who ask's people to get their wallet out on the street. this is stupid.
From this words "Make me feel sick to look at myself, i can't stand", "The tattoos make feel who i am", "Tattoos make me feel empowered and i stand out from the crowd" i learned a lot from this video... they didn't love themselves the way they were which is a big trouble to any human being, they are trapped on that low self esteem and destructive self perception so they look around to fullfill their unaware emptyness with this and that which will never bring them peace and understanding. Of course if you don't like yourself you will always look around for other people eyes, their opinions, their this and that and you will feel down because they won't act or like the way they wanted.
People with low self esteem will do the same as you do, they will look and make emotional assumptions based on their experience which no one can judge... the sad part is that both sides inner pain grows instead of having peace with themselves.
Élcio Chiquinato can confirm it’s why I do it....
Agree . I hate who I am so I'm covering myself
Personally i disagree because for me it was the case of liking the art and to do something different i didn't have mental issues or was upset in myself I just wanted to start doing new things a tattoo for someone can just be to experience something new not every tattoo is depressing or upsetting
It's why we do many things.
I just came to see this video, and I do agree with what you wrote. I wonder how people can do such things to themselves.. Looks not disgusting, but weird ... ! I would never do this, because I stand for who I am and how God has created me... They should be thankful for what they have.... !! Without all those tattoos and piercings they really look so nice.. Except the woman with those big disgusting lips !!! Only a person who loves and accepts him/herself can be happy... No need what others think.
The way the girl asked for change sounded like she was asking them for money, not just to change a ten pound note-thats y alot of ppl would've walked past
"excuse me, do u have any change..(*big pause. Person walks off*) for a ten pound note?"
Of course they weren't gonna stop! Then she yells "I'm asking u fir help, y aren't u helping me?" I reckon if she hadn't got all arsey alot of ppl would've came back when they realised she just wanted to change a tenner, but when they heard her ranting they decided to carry on walking. She sounds like a spoilt brat-like no one's ever said no to her before. Just because u ask for something doesn't mean u will get it! Her attitude was what was putting ppl off, not her appearance.
"I wasn't going to get a neck tattoo, but then I just gave up caring what other people think" ...* Stands, asking for help on street obviously caring very much what other people think...lol
She admits she was an attention seeker when she was young and that has obviously only increased
😂😂😂 Right!
Well yeah, welcome to mankind. Everyone is insecure deep down. The ones who scream they're not the loudest are the most insecure people the majority of time.
Ikr!
I think with the women they think she's begging, and therefore ignore her.
Without her ridiculous lips she would be gorgeous with or without her tats. But I like tats lol
She looks good to you??
Noodle Driver He/She means that she has had lip fillers to make her lips look bigger
I’m a guy with the bigger lips than her
You can tell she’s had some drug use by the bad quality of her skin also... smoking also F’s up your skin... if you want to age gracefully, don’t smoke, don’t do drugs and use sun screen.
King Taco natural big lips look good not fake ones but I guess it depends on the surgeon
This is why we should never judge others on the surface. Everyone has a story... I lost my daughter, too, so I very much empathize with his story. May your daughter RIP. She is with the angels now ✨️
okay, the guy with all the mandalas is hella cute. i love his hamster cheeks. also, his body language was so timid and polite? like, i can't believe that one guy thought he was gonna mug him.
Chris Relhard ikr so sweet,gentle aahh just i have no words to explain ,just have to agree 😄
Tattoos or no, people are RUDE in today's time.
They always have been..
I am not because you are adorable 💓.
@@OpiumBride Agreed! 100 years ago, politeness was essential. Maybe in the 'upper classes I don't know, (I can't remember that far back😉) but in all seriousness, men were taught to be 'gentile' (gentlemanly) and girls had classes in etiquette. You're spot on honey. 🙂
Sorry but the Irish gentleman was lovely
The woman is being sort of hostile to the people she is asking to make change... calling after them after they've already walked by isn't a very polite way to try to get help. More flies with honey.
Honestly this is a terrible social experiment, even if a person who looked “normal” asked me this on the street in London I would ignore them or assume it was a scam.
This is making me want to go and get another tattoo...lol
get a tattoo of you getting a tattoo
GreenGamer Lol..
Tattoo my profile picture on your face.
LOL you're terrible
Hmm... it‘s your body but I think you should only get a tattoo after really thinking about it.
I think there is a difference between wanting a certain tattoo (like having a goal) and getting a tattoo just because (don’t having a goal, not really having a plan how you want to change your look).
Idk in my experience the most dangerous people blend right in
All the negative comments are proving the point there making. Almost 8 Billion people on the earth, everyone is different. Why do people put each other down for it??
Correct
I worked for the government (USA) and the policy was NO visible tattoos while in uniform. A lot of applicants could not be accepted because of neck, face and hand tattoos.
Wow, people are so incredibly rude.If someone was talking to me asking for change even if I didn't have it I would at least speak to them.
Kellye Raiborn my thoughts exactly. I don't carry cash on me but I'll say oh no I'm sorry I don't have any change at the least.
You obviously don't live in city
Snails40 No especially when they were being very polite.
Thomas Y Yes I do live in the city Dallas, Texas.
I do the same thing. Just a short "Sorry, don't have any money on me!" isn't too much to ask for. I live in a bigger city but here almost everyone treats you with at least a bit of respect and kindness.
I have scars. Theyre like free tattoos
Wow.
Randy Hendrix I can relate but not scars i mean mentally.
Randy Hendrix me too
I know a tattoo was not something I wanted , after talking to my Father at the age 21. He was openminded and listen to me, and after I said my piece on the subject. He asked me what I was going to get. I thought, Oh this was easier than I thought it was going to be, with that I said," Pegasus." He replied, "Oh No don't get that, get a plum." A plum I thought, a plum! "Dad why a plum?" He said with a smile across his face, " So you can watch it turn into a prune." We laughed so hard after wards. I do not regret my choice way back then. But I do know I can see why folks do love them, to Honor loved one that have passed, to mark events in their lives, religion, loves, thoughts. It's is a way of expressing one self. As the world catches up and realize that this is an artform, some you will like others not so much. Just realize the person on the other side of the face, is that another person.
Lorrie Ruff if your father hasn’t passed already, when he does you might get that plum to honor him aha. Sounds sweet.
I myself decided to get tattoos at around age 20 or 21 and wanted to talk to my dad about it also. I come from New Zealand and from Maori decent so Tattooing is part of my culture and didn't think my dad would have any issue with it. When i asked him he told me a story, he use to have a tattoo on his arm which has now been removed of a British bulldog standing upright with a bowler hat and vest on. I always saw the tattoo growing up but never thought about where it came from. He told me him and my mum had got into an argument one night and he took off and ended up at the clubhouse of a biker gang in my home town. He got hammered drunk and ended up getting that tattoo done, he said it always reminded him of the argument so thats why he got it removed. His advice was make sure if you're going to get a tattoo it's for the right reason, pretty common advice I know but I loved the story.
Adam Preston
That was a sad story but it has quality lesson though. If only people are not judge mental, instead respect and love is the illness in everyone’s heart there will be peace on eart.
Lorrie Ruff get a balloon and watch it deflate
Lorrie Ruff I'm going to get my dad's date of birth and date of death as my first one
They look so awesome without that ink. Beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder.
Agree 100 percent
i have witnessed the chicks character.... and i wouldnt stop for her.
"I stoped caring about what people think of me" Gets offended when people judge you, EXPLANATION: obviously cares about how people judge you. Aka how they "think" of you.
One tries to grow a tough skin. (^_-)
"Excuse my why aren't you helping me!!!!!"
That's exactly why they don't help you. You are acting crazy.
I could never be that rude to a stranger. I'd be thinking about it for weeks!
i don't get why people "hate" people with face tattoos and won't hire them. People are WAY to judgemental.. i think they all looked like nice people
I agree that they look nice people; and I wish everybody who wants a facial tattoo would have one. But the reason for the reaction is evolutionary, and found across the animal kingdom: be suspicious of difference; and make associates with any negative experience of an unusal trait while ignoring the exponentially more frequent negative experiences experienced without an identifiable trait. I think the human race is gradually overcoming that instinct, but maybe I'm just a hopeless optimist.
“they looked like nice people” is a pre judgement based on appearance lol
I love tats.... I find it's a person's attitude that makes me turn away faster than anything else. PS added: I'm in my 60's no tattoos of my own, yet, but I love them, the art, and the stories behind them
Cat tattoos are a great way of self expression
I forgive you
okay, I forgive you too :D
See.. the world is already a better place 😂
You can hide tattoos on most of your body... face or hands? That's a ridiculous thing to tattoo.
