Cheers Chilli. Sometimes I miss something that got mentioned in between the never-ending ads or links to other articles, or just through simple incompetence.
When we were on holiday in Corfu a lad in our hotel was covered in tattoos, body and face, neck, arms, legs etc. he was white with dyed blonde hair but most of his skin was tattooed black. It must have been so painful because they weren’t picture tattoos just big blocks of black.Never seen anything like it. I think his mental health must have been in question because I don’t think anybody would employ him looking like that.

Take time to think about what you don’t understand.
Tattoo’s always remind me of the Nazis and the arm tattoos forced upon all captured Jews. Those were a unique number that could not be washed off.
Where I am I often see men, not women though, with tattoos on their faces. We have quite a few tattoo parlours here and even a training academy. I heard Nick Ferrari discussing it on the radio this morning and he was supportive of the school, but I would say the majority of the callers were against the school’s decision. One said it was probably more scary for the kids for her to be peeking through the window so would have been better for her to be sat in the front. Another pointed out that it was no different to the kids having their faces painted.

Thanks for the précis. Was wondering how the discussion was going to pan out.
On one point raised, children don’t tend to paint their faces often, nor do they usually do so as a response to abuse nor as an act of self harm. So, it’s not really the same thing at all

Of course it’s not the same .
Children do it for fun and know it can be washed off.
This woman who clearly has mental issues ( and has bred seven children poor things ) needs help .
I don’t think that children should be exposed to this as if it’s normal because it’s not .
Why spoil the nativity play by turning it into a gawping session because who could not but notice this appalling visage which is sadly self inflicted.
There are consequences of everything in life and I can only imagine why poor people who are born with a genuine facial disfigurement think .

The 7 children situation is indeed a quandary!!
Presumably she and the father(s) are in a financial.position to support them, or at least were at the time of conception?
And I bet none of them have jobs certainly none where they need to interact with the public.
You don’t really believe that do you ?
No one should have seven children in this day and age anyway and as the children get older they will be embarrassed with their parants or worse go down the same road .
But how would the kids know that it’s not just face paint. I bet the kids wouldn’t even notice they’re not as judgemental as some adults.
Oh you’ve added more since I last saw your post. Please see my reply to Muddy regarding the face painting.

Of course not.
Anyway, someone mentioned that the woman had been in the press before. So I found this:
One of her first tattoos was of her “beloved Kray twins”. 
Dear, oh dear oh dear.
Cor strewth of course they have jobs. I often see scaffolders with tattoos all over including their faces, even see them serving in pubs.
Would you say that if the parents could afford it themselves, and not rely on the taxpayer?
Yep, sorry. Have re-read everything, as requested, to ensure context is accurate. 
Cant speak for Muddy, but I’d say it. Irresponsible IMHO.

I recently left my part time job as a classroom assistant in a primary school. There were staff with tattoos including myself, one or two had ink work on the face and neck although they were quite restrained if I may put it like that. Is it not a matter of discretion and nuance?

I don’t really understand the significance of neck and facial tattoos, if I’m honest. It must be incredibly painful to say the least…
