Tattoo or not Tattoo
 

Nearly every time you open a paper or watch TV these so called stars are all covered in tattoos, but to m it doesn't do anything for their appearance, Amy Winehouse springs readily to mind, tatoos to that extent on a woman are awful, small ones in discreat places okay, but all over the arms is unsightly, although its different for men, but to many even them don't look right to me, i. e. David Bekham. I have never had the urge to have a tattoo of any sort, have you and why did you decide to have one

Re: Tattoo or not Tattoo
 

i've never had a tattoo but i think they look nice on men

Re: Tattoo or not Tattoo
 

have one and its none of your damn business why!!!!! lol

Re: Tattoo or not Tattoo
 

I have one. It's a butterfly on my ankle. I had it done, quite simply because I wanted to know what it felt like. It's fairly small and took about half an hour to do. I'm half tempted to have another one but now that I've had one I don't feel such a burning desire to have more.

Re: Tattoo or not Tattoo
 

i have 2 the first when i was 17 i got "your name" on my bum cheek (jackass was all the rage) i still look at it today and remember good times and the other is on my wrist its a hyroglyph from the third blade move (the one the blond guys has under his belly button)

there only small and yes i am marked for life but i am happy i have them and most of the time forget them being there, i do not plan on having any more as its like a piece of art just one more mark and its ruined i think 2 is enough

Re: Tattoo or not Tattoo
 

I don't mind them in discreet places....Ankles, feet, back etc.. on women.

My mate had a playboy bunny done on her foot....Wouldn't have been my choice, but it looks ok.

She said she wanted one on her arm with her kids name under it....AFTER I had finished slapping her round the head to bring her to her senses, she realised that maybe she didn't want one on her arms.

I think it looks awful when women have them on their arms.... and I think people judge you by the look of your tattoo's than the actual real you.

Re: Tattoo or not Tattoo
 

I like those at the base of the back and those that go up the back... i do want one (or 2 lol)
my mum and step mum have tattoo's and they look nice. My step dad is covered in them and my dad started having one and chickened out lol.

Re: Tattoo or not Tattoo
 

How anyone can deface their body permanently is beyond me.:rolleyes:

Still, always useful for identification if one of your ex-girl friends decides to chop you up in little pieces... :D (only joking)

Re: Tattoo or not Tattoo
 

I'm with flashy, I think they look good on blokes, if theyre well done

Re: Tattoo or not Tattoo
 

I don't like them at all and all 3 of my children have them. My son has a sort of skull thingy set in a flower (he designed it himself) on his shoulder. Both my daughters have a small rose on the shoulder but the younger one also has a Chinese symbol on her thigh. It's supposed to say "dad" but, as we don't speak or read Chinese, it could be an obscenity for all I know. :rolleyes:

Re: Tattoo or not Tattoo
 

I find them fasinating, but would never have on myself.

I'm never happy with the same avatar for too long, so wouldn't risk permenantly marking my skin.:D

Re: Tattoo or not Tattoo
 

Never had the urge to have a tattoo.

Re: Tattoo or not Tattoo
 

One night in gay Paree I paid 10 francs to see
The tattoed French lady tattooed from head to knee.
Tattooed across her jaw was the Royal Flying Corps
And right across her back there was the Union Jack.
Marching up her right knee was the Household Cavalry
And all around her hips was a fleet of battleships

On her left kidney was the harbour bridge at Sydney
But what I liked best, right across her chest,
Was my home in Tennessee.

Anon.

:D

Re: Tattoo or not Tattoo
 

You must be from Bristol Tennessee:tongueout

Re: Tattoo or not Tattoo
 

Most look cheap and naff, I wouldn't bother tbh, they all seem to fade and you can't really go back and say " well, it's not how I thought it would be".
I thought ( in my hippy days when I was young and daft) that I might have one if I saw the "right design that was really me" , I still haven't seen it and have now gone off them totally.

Re: Tattoo or not Tattoo
 

I don't like anybody covered in them but some look ok, if women have them maybe a discreet one or two. Not my sort of thing really and can't understand causing yourself pain unneccessarily.

Re: Tattoo or not Tattoo
 

I think tattoos are horrible.

Re: Tattoo or not Tattoo
 

Re: Tattoo or not Tattoo
 

I will own up to 3 piercings, 2 normal ear lobe piercings and 1 at the top of my right ear. It hurt like mad, and I couldn't lie on it for weeks ! It's fine now though I don't bother changing it, and tbh you wouldn't see it if I had longer hair !

Re: Tattoo or not Tattoo
 

Re: Tattoo or not Tattoo
 

Bad enough to have a needle stuck in you for medical reasons without volunteering for the things too. Anyway I'm allergic to pain :D

Re: Tattoo or not Tattoo
 

Got my ears pierced twice

Re: Tattoo or not Tattoo
 

me too,,,especialy when they are all over neck ,body ,arms legs,, :thumbsdow,,,,,,,,,,,,only place they should be is here ...... :moon:.....

Re: Tattoo or not Tattoo
 

Re: Tattoo or not Tattoo
 

Never had a tattoo

Wouldn't want one either, used to think about it when I was younger
Glad it stopped at the thinking part cos I just imagine what it would look like when someone is old n wrinkly:(

SOme look good, but I think they look better on a piece of paper

I would look at a drawing of it and think ohh nice, I would look at someone's arm and think ohh your scarred for life:eek:

Re: Tattoo or not Tattoo
 

i got to own up to having four tattoos and some piercings cant really remember now why i got them the piercings i can let heal but will have to live with the tattoos for the rest of my life yes as you can gather i wish i never had them done

Re: Tattoo or not Tattoo
 

well ya must hate me then.:D, have loads, first i ever had was when i was 15 on me hand, so i could get served in pubs, cos legally ya had to be 18, it served its purpose it worked.:D problem was as i got older i hated it, ya never look dressed up wi em on yer hands, had em removed by laser bout 18 months ago, cost a damn site more than to put on.:rolleyes:they do fade n blur over time n look a mess on yer arms, so would advise anyone to think long term before getting any,its the sign of a mis-spent youth, but saying that i had a ball.:D;)

Re: Tattoo or not Tattoo
 

About 10 years ago whilst on holiday in Greece, my friend and I went "shopping" for an hour (leaving our other halves in a bar) and came back with fake transfer tattoos, with added blusher to make them look painful. We convinced everyone in our group that they were real, and my husband didn't speak to me for the rest of the evening (except to say "why?" and shake his head in disgust).:eek:

Re: Tattoo or not Tattoo
 

Four times in each ear but I rarely bother with earrings now - I used to wear huge earrings in each piercing and jangled when i moved.:D

What with that and the amount of those thin bangles that I used to wear you could probably hear me from a mile off!

Re: Tattoo or not Tattoo
 

i used to have a couple of tattoos but had them removed, prefer the scar to the tattoos, had them when I was young and foolish (as opposed to old and fooloish lol)

Re: Tattoo or not Tattoo
 

I'll lay odds Bett on Corry was your favourite Gayle:D

Re: Tattoo or not Tattoo
 

Could never hate you mate;)

Re: Tattoo or not Tattoo
 

No, I rather modelled myself on Siouxsie Sioux! :D

Re: Tattoo or not Tattoo
 

Who the hell's that Gayle:confused::D

Re: Tattoo or not Tattoo
 

would go for a small one only

Re: Tattoo or not Tattoo
 

How out of touch are you.:p I bet you know who Billy Fury is though.

Re: Tattoo or not Tattoo
 

I wonder if he'll ever regret having these tasteful tattoos done, say when he's walking his daughter down the aisle?:rolleyes:

Re: Tattoo or not Tattoo
 

Yip know no Billy, or should I said did know him, he's dead:rolleyes:, Is that the young lady in question, if it is and you model yourself on her I'll have no probs recognising you then Gayle will I :D

Re: Tattoo or not Tattoo
 

Looking like that Rindi doubt if he's had a woman long enough to have a Daughter;)

Re: Tattoo or not Tattoo
 

...but she loves him anyway.:D

Did he have to pay extra for those spots on his forehead or is it acne? :cool:

Re: Tattoo or not Tattoo
 

i very nearly got the ones on my arm done like george clooney had when he was in dusk til dawn

after seeing the ageing men that had them done im glad i didnt because now they have got older and a bit looser in the skin they look bloody awfull lol


facial tattoos look disgusting as do those home made ones love / hate on the knuckles and the frankenstein stitching on the wrists etc which do make a statement - that your a moron :rolleyes:

nearly got my girlfriends name tattoed on my arm one time but thought better of it and thankfully i did because i didnt fancy having to date clairs for teh rest of my life to match the tattoo

if i ever do get one it will have my kids names on and be on my upper arm area

Re: Tattoo or not Tattoo
 

Don't do that Rindi, I've just fell of my blood stool you div, you deserve Karma for that its on its way, I likes a laugh but thats ridiculas:rofl38::rofl38:

Re: Tattoo or not Tattoo
 

I knew a fellah who had his wife's name tattooed across his forehead. He'd had it done when they were first married and he was on holiday - and very drunk. He looked a complete twit but looked even dafter when he left his wife and ran off with another woman. I didn't know who she was but, for her sake, I hope her name was JOSIE too. :D

Re: Tattoo or not Tattoo
 

I`ve got a pretty big one across the top of my back , i did`nt rush into it, did`nt get it when i was young, really like it and don`t regret it (at the moment) but let me tell you it CHUFFIN` hurt like hell ,took nearly 3 hours and i passed out twice..........................!!!!!, ended up with a black eye and concussion from hitting the floor........... I`d love another one or two , i`ve been looking at them recently but after all that agony i doubt i`ll do it again.....:rolleyes:

Re: Tattoo or not Tattoo
 

PMSFL ya big wuss ;)

Re: Tattoo or not Tattoo
 

WUSS...CHUFFIN` WUSS..........mmm you ain`t got one then ...?LOL....Perhaps a NKOTB one......pmsl...??

Re: Tattoo or not Tattoo
 

if you think it hurt having it on don't ever have it removed, mine was too big to be done by laser and it hurt what ever they did to remove it.

Re: Tattoo or not Tattoo
 

nah pipples i aint daft enough to put myself through unnecessary pain ;)

Re: Tattoo or not Tattoo
 

Well you'll have no problem recognising me in 1982. :D

Re: Tattoo or not Tattoo
 

I'm debating having one in a very discreet kind of place. think i may be alittle old to be doing something like this tho. hmmm

Re: Tattoo or not Tattoo
 

A tattoo or a piercing? :eek:

Re: Tattoo or not Tattoo
 

you must be a glutton for punishment,,

Re: Tattoo or not Tattoo
 

I have a tattoo of a red rose on the top of my thigh. had it done when i was 16. reason Mick wanted me to have it done.
Then when I did he didn't like it.
Men!

Re: Tattoo or not Tattoo
 

Ah well its back to the future then Gayle:D

Re: Tattoo or not Tattoo
 

I like men with Tattoos, but only if its just a few!
When they start getting them all over their body, thats when they look crap!

Anyone watch miami ink on sky?....they do some good ones;)

One thing that intrigues me is why men have them on their genitals:o...it must really hurt...LOL:eek:

Re: Tattoo or not Tattoo
 

I did it just spells Ole now but when i was younger it was Oswaldtwistle:confused:

Re: Tattoo or not Tattoo
 

maybe with hindsight it was a mistake to ring the sandblasters lol

Re: Tattoo or not Tattoo
 

I have 2 tattoos, one on my arm which ive had for 9 years now. And one at the bottom of my back, have had that one for 7 years. The one on the bottom of my back needs recolouring and i want it adding to. Also want to get Harry's name somewhere. Neither of them hurt at all.

My Dad has a few, he has one on his shoulder and he passed out with that one. But was fine with the rest. He also did his own when he was at school, its on his hand and says "Kate Bush" its horrid, but thankfully has faded over the years!!

Also have my tongue pierced, which didnt hurt (and no food doesnt get stuck in it)

Re: Tattoo or not Tattoo
 

I have four; and I'm happy with them all. On my right forearm I have a raven carrying a banner with "Nevermore" on it ... not that I'm a great fan of Poe, but it seemed appropriate after the collapse of my second marriage. Also on my right arm I have a portrait of my favorite dog of all time, with the lettering "Best Friend" and under it her name, "Hera", and her dates 1994 _2004. On my left arm I have a Lancashire Rose. On my back I have a fairly large killer whale done in native style by my friend Abigail who is a member of the Tsimshian First Nation, Gispwudwada (Killer Whale) Clan, from Northern BC. All of them are special in some way, and I regret none of them. My rules for tatoos: think before you ink, know the artist and his/her work, NEVER have the name or portrait of a boyfriend/girlfriend tatooed anywhere on your body.:alright:

Re: Tattoo or not Tattoo
 

my fella has just had grim reaper put on his arm:D
I was thinking of getting W on each cheek so if i bend over it would say WoW....LOL...:D

sorry......:oonly JOKING!!!....:hidewall:

Re: Tattoo or not Tattoo
 

Shouldn't that be "wOw"?:D:hidewall:

PMSL.........cheeky ******:pAttachment 11887

Re: Tattoo or not Tattoo
 

I have a oriental dragon on my back / shoulder. I like it, always have done (although sometimes I do forget its there and it shocks me) My reasoning for getting this done was because my ex said 1) that i couldnt get one done and 2) that I daren't. So just to prove him wrong I got it done. Dont regret it. Do plan on getting another one at some point, just not decided on exactly what and where yet but it will have my boys names on it

Re: Tattoo or not Tattoo
 

I have four Tattoos.
One on my forearm of a random design which i liked,its a dying rose with bat wings!
I have my Fiances name underneath it,the way i see it even if we do break up its a memory of a wonderful time in my life.
On my left forearm underneath i have a rose with mum written under it which is a tribute to my mum who died 10 years ago and finally i have a dragon on my upper left arm!

Re: Tattoo or not Tattoo
 

I have an American Indian chieftan in full headress on my upper right arm. Had it done in Bognor Regis a few years ago totally on the spur of the moment. Just saw it in a shop window and wanted it. Never regretted it once. I keep saying I'm going to have an Accrington Stanley crest on my upper left arm, but I haven't got round to it yet. Maybe I will this season.

Re: Tattoo or not Tattoo
 

what a lovely way of looking at it :)

Re: Tattoo or not Tattoo
 

I thought so!
I don't understand why people take a negative view of Tattoos,yes you have it forever but like i said you have great memories forever too!

Re: Tattoo or not Tattoo
 

My Fiance has a Stanley badge on his forearm and it looks really smart but they aren't cheap and take a bit of time but i think if its something you really want it is definately worth it!

Re: Tattoo or not Tattoo
 

Loz, how much and where?

Re: Tattoo or not Tattoo
 

It was 100 pounds from mick's tattoo place across from the castle but i would recommend going to frank's tattoo place just a bit further up from the castle pub on the same side.

Re: Tattoo or not Tattoo
 

OK, cheers, Loz, will bear this in mind.

Re: Tattoo or not Tattoo
 

I'm not trying to say that mick is bad,the tattoo looks good but Frank's tattoo place just feels more professional and his work is excellent.
At the end of the day it comes down to where you feel most comfortable if you get it done!
Good luck if you do!
I will try and get a pic of it on here for you shortly.

Re: Tattoo or not Tattoo
 

OK, thanks, Loz, would be very interested to see it.

Re: Tattoo or not Tattoo
 

Sorry not managed to get pic yet but hopefully should have it on here tonight fingers crossed!
I'm not very good with technology so i'm hoping Frank will be able to do it when he gets home from work later.

Re: Tattoo or not Tattoo
 

I don't have any tattoos, although I think they can look pretty cool on guys. I think women with the small butterfly type tattoos can be nice. Not keen on the many folks around here with heavily tattooed necks and lower backs.

My closest thing to a tattoo is an attempted imprint made on my inner forearm with a pound coin. Two winters ago, was trying to see if I could get the Queen's image in relief. Left the coin on the woodstove for "awhile." Place said very hot coin onto forearm flesh. Held/pressed much too hard/much too long, causing ~2nd to 3rd degree burn. Coin had stuck to flesh and had to be peeled off.

It has heeled into a fairly cool looking scar which has become more eliptical as the forearm muscle expands. Oh, and no siting of the good queen, looks more like Quasimodo! :p

Hope this is okay!

Re: Tattoo or not Tattoo
 

Nice one:D But next time use an airbrush on the freckles:D:D:D

Re: Tattoo or not Tattoo
 

Cheers. Loz. Looks good, although I'll probably have mine a bit smaller.

Strange to think how I hated wearing my AGS blazer with that same badge on it and now I'm thining of having it done on my arm.

Anyway, thanks foe taking the time and trouble to post it. Karma sent.

Re: Tattoo or not Tattoo
 

No probs i'm going to try and get all of our tattoos up eventually,think its pretty cool to see what other peoples look like!

Re: Tattoo or not Tattoo
