I must admit though I have no desire to make a commitment to one, I'm far too fickle. I am however fascinated by Tattoo art.

I know a tree surgeon who is originally from a small island off Hawaii, though I hadn't seen him for a while. I recently bumped into him in Sainsbury's and asked him where he'd been. His mother recently died, so he went on a spiritual trip to reconnect & all that stuff.

He seemed so chilled out (& a bit mad ) , he looked different , very fit and healthy but also now covered (& i mean covered) in traditional tattoos done the old way with ink and a tapping board needle by one of his relatives. It looks on him beautiful, I suppose it's the authenticity that stands out, like a warrior, but on me ? No I'd look like a prat ( actually even without tatts)


I asked him how it felt doing it the old way "I think i cried for a week" he said . This guy's an ex-Royal marine with the 1000 yard stare and all that. So noooo way a lame arse design queen like me would last 10 minutes....No way!


Ohh mummy....( and I hate her..) ..it hurts!



W**F

louisiana, do you wear make up?


I love my tattoos. I have two. One is a large tarantula that does look lifelike but the one on my arm is the Happy Human logo of the British Humanist Association, kinda done because it's a GREAT colour, and I am sick of seeing big black crosses tattood on people!


It's only about two inches long.

small tattoos are a waste of time. it looks crap when you see someone and think they've got a dirty mark on their ankle/shoulder and then get closer to realise it's a tattoo!

I've got one that is an abstract design of a dancing deer. I got the design from a National Geographic magazine that ran an article on a 4000 yr old priestess found preserved in Siberia. She had the design tattooed on her.

I love it as it is unusual and original. It's not the usual colour and is quite big yet discreet.

It's very important to get a good artist. Knowing the best place to position a tattoo with the curves of muscle etc is a skill.

I always thought Paula Yates's tattoo on her arm was done in the wrong place.

I dont know quite what it is, but, that kid is unlikeable. He looks sly and arrogant . The rest dont .

Tattoo by The Who.


Me and my brother were talking to each other

'Bout what makes a man a man

Was it brain or brawn, or the month you were born,

We just couldn't understand


Our old man didn't like our appearance

He said that only women wear long hair


So me and my brother borrowed money from Mother

We knew what we had to do

We went downstairs, past the barber and gymnasium

And got our arms tattooed


Welcome to my life, tattoo

I'm a man now, thanks to you

I expect I'll regret you

But the skin graft man won't get you

You'll be there when I die

Tattoo


My dad beat me 'cause mine said "Mother"

But my mother naturally liked it and beat my brother

'Cause his tattoo was of a lady in the nude

And my mother thought that was extremely rude


Welcome to my life, tattoo

We've a long time together, me and you

I expect I'll regret you

But the skin graft man won't get you

You'll be there when I die

Tattoo


Now I'm older, I'm tattooed all over

My wife is tattooed too

A rooty-toot-toot, A rooty-tooty-toot-toot

Rooty-toot-toot tattoo too

To you

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
