I wonder what their Passport photos are like. I am surprised they ever got one.

There's no prohibition of facial tattoos for UK passport photos.

The far-reaching powers of IOs have to be curtailed across the board, every country has this issue. There are no detailed rules, so people can make informed decisions. It's just left up to the whim of some IO.

No, it's not "up to the whim of some IO" it is up to the discretion with which the state empowers them.
