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!

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.

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

      Bitey Fox.

      How do you know what the fox wanted to do if it didn’t do it.

      Bitey Fox.

      Quote "it was quite clear that it wanted to nip me." Doesn't say clearly that it tried to bite you , but instead implies that you had the impression, right or wrong that it wanted to nip you.  unless you are clear others will read it how you write it.  As for being a jobsworth, what a quaint old expression, haven't heard that for a long while.

      Attempted car theft - Underhill

      By Penguin68 · Posted

      Crook locks can be sawn through, or the steering wheel to which it is attached, I know to my own cost. The safest additional security measure is what's called a ghost immobiliser, which cannot be traced through the car's electronics, meaning it is difficult to bypass. They cost a bomb however.

      Thieves on electric bike around East Dulwich

      By march46 · Posted

      I’ve reported two instances of mobile phone theft to 999 in recent times. On both occasions several police units have arrived very quickly - in one case they found the perpetrator.
