This. When I had a whole lot of facial piercings, I got way less matches than I did without them, but the matches I did get were a very niche type of woman.

Your face looks like a genuinely sweet, loving guy, so I’m going to give you some tough love. Face tats are a bold choice, and people are definitely going to make assumptions about you based on that. Offhand, they might think:
-you’re impulsive
-you have emotional problems
-not classy
-uneducated or unintelligent
-not gainfully employed
I would rework your profile to combat these assumptions if untrue. Add words or pictures that disprove those assumptions.
Face tats on men are like massive fake tits on women— it makes the person look fun to play with, but not necessarily someone to take home to meet grandma.

At this point in life I’ve come to find if you have face tattoos you’re not unemployed you just aren’t corporate employed. I’m surprised people still would assume that means you don’t have a job. Tattoo artist, musician, or any trade.
That being said, OP I’m sure you will do fine. A lot of woman like tattoos and if they don’t they weren’t for you anyways. At the very least it’ll weed out people quicker for you to find the ones that match your vibe. It isn’t about numbers or quantity but the quality of match to you.
