Tattoos

[bignumber5]

Mine is in a place I'm not likely to share others on a regular occassion

Well, except for the picture in your earlier post...

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.

Nothing wrong with playing guitar Keef. Making music...

I had dinner last night with a folk singer who cannot understand why people would just listen to music (at a party etc.) rather than playing it themselves.

Interrestingly Beckham says he doesn't want his children to get any tattoos.........

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.

One finds the whole Subject of Tattoos most unseemly.

Tattoos? I have one question. WHY??? They aren't attractive or aesthetically pleasing. Definitely chav.

[jaybee82]

My brother is infatuated with them - has tattoos over most of his body.

Me? Well I can't see the point personally. He'll look like a prize tit when he's 70.

Like most things, in amongst the sloughs of samey dross every now and then someone will do something truly inspired, like getting your own face tattooed on your back:

Who the hell is that.......?

I don't like them on women - I think they are tacky. Don't mind them so much on men but even then I'm not a fan. Never once seen a tattoo on a woman and liked it - always looks wrong to me.

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
