Where do you draw the line?
Dec. 24th, 2022 12:29 pmWhen I posted my first picture of my fish tattoo, a tattoo enthusiast I know called it a "face tattoo."

I thought since then that it was weird, so I just looked up the definition of "face."
Merriam-Webster:
the front part of the head that in humans extends from the forehead to the chin and includes the mouth, nose, cheeks, and eyes
Cambridge:
the front of the head, where the eyes, nose, and mouth are
dictionary.com:
the front part of the head, from the forehead to the chin
Do you think of your ears as part of your face? It doesn't matter if dictionaries don't agree. I always considered the area that a basic mask covers the face.
