The Rules for Tattoos

[????]

Tatoos should only EVER be

1) The ship you serve on

2) The prison you're in

3) Your football team

EVERYTHING else is utter w*nk.

PS They look crap on birds, end of.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Rather spiffing one at Edinburgh.

C'mon, Quids. Surely you can appreciate the individuality of a celtic-influenced armband?

Or one's partner's name (or previous partner's names etc) across the shoulderblades in elongated stalag-style lettering?

Quids, I've a couple of tattoos that don't necessarily relate to the rules you apply.

Which are of course all situations where men are closely grouped together.

I think we both know, from our style of posting how utterly ferociously heterosexual we are.

At least in intent.

And I ask this in the spirit of, let's say camaradarie, but if you did fancy getting an MC Escher 'eating its own tail' style lizard tattoo, from the first Mott the Hoople record on your forearm, and say for argument's sake I might want to do the same, then maybe we could attend the same parlour at round about the same time.

What could be more straightforward? Honestly, there's some as will be thinking all sorts.

But not us obviously.

Why are the tattoo shops called parlours, by the way?

I reckon it might be if they started calling them 'pain shops' it might interfere with trade.

as long as it's not in felt tip

I forgot...

4) Your regiment

[ratty]

Nothing ever anywhere near ya minge. Nuff said!

[OliviaDee]

get a butterfly on your ankle

some chinese thing on your belly/bum

initials on your nape

and a celtic bracelet

and then you'll be like really really cool and individual.

forever.

Suddenly I feel pathetic. I was young God damn it!!!

[????]

'fess up

[Keef]

Celtic band. Random Pattern. Wolf's head. I WAS YOUNG!!!

[????]

Head shame your hold in

I think Quids is really trying to say that he deeply regrets the 'I luv EDF and Ladymuck' tattoo he had done after a night of one too many stellas...>:D

[Wilhelm]

I'm sure there's an anagram there somewhere...

[KalamityKel]

Darn I've gone seriously wrong somewhere!

[felt-tip]

People that don't have tattoos read too much into them I think. I have some but not to be cool or individual - I just like them. I think most people that have them are the same.

[legalbeagle]

????? tell me more! Why do tatoos look bad on birds? (Really. Genuine question. I don't have one in case you were wondering). Is there literally not one picture of any size in any place that would look ok?

[felt-tip]

apparently when people have tear drops it means they've killed someone.

one tear drop per kill.

[KalamityKel]

I like admiring really well done tatts... yes I do sometimes get strange looks from ppl I'm eyeing lol

[PeckhamRose]

Some may see it as naff but I have the most beautifully designed big tarantula tattoo'd on my back.

Life size, proper colourful and with shadows.

Grown men have fainted when they see it. Well, whatever it takes....

Then I have a Happy Human logo on my upper arm!

But I do get your points and there are some very cheap and nasty tats around.

[*Bob*]

As time and gravity do their worst, ???? is surely regretting having had Eric Bristow's face on a Winmau dartboard done on his belly.

[HonaloochieB]

1st lady - "You know he's got 'Ludo' tattoed on his penis, don't you?

2nd lady "Really, last time I looked I'm sure it said Llandudno'

Thank you, I'm here, all weak.

[PeckhamRose]

Ohhhhh don't make me repeat the joke again!

Noooooooooooooooooooooooo

MrPR has supercalifragilisticexpialidocious tattood on his willy.

Still all there.
