What right have any of you to insult this man and characterize his body modifications as repugnant? What position are you in to say that this is evidence of stupidity? How do you know that?

The uncomfortable answer is that you don't, because you simply have not been in his shoes. You have no idea what it is like to be someone with a facial tattoo; you do not know where he was coming from psychologically in modifying himself in this way.

As a transgender woman, though, I feel I might have some clue about it. Just as I modify my body with Estrogen to become on the outside what I am on the inside, so too might someone tattoo what they are inside on the outside of their body. If that means tattooing their face, I suppose that means they get their face tattooed. Sure, it's a huge, irrevocable decision. I'm sure it was terrifying. And I'm sure he was deeply transformed by it.

Who are you to assume that transformation wasn't positive?
