tattoo's

you can always tell if someone with tattoos is a skanker or classy- on someone classy the tattoos are spelt right. lol
 
I personally don't like tattoos, I think they have connotations which may lead to regrets in later life. If you want one, have a tiny one where only your nearest and dearest (although some people have a lot of nearests and dearests!) will see it. Very much agree with Cashman - hands are a complete no-no. I find the facial piercings fairly repulsive as well - I've never understood why a girl will pay a fortune for a lotion to close her pores, then have a dirty great hole put in her nose. (I have got pierced ears, though - it's an excuse for more jewellery!) I don't think tattoo removal should be paid for by the NHS - it was your choice, live with it.
 
I don't like tattoos and I'm not fond of piercings either......though I did have my ears pierced a long time ago.......mind you I am a complete coward and needed a general anaesthetic.
 
Love tattoos on men, they are sooo sexy I do confess to having a bit of a tattoo fetish :o but I don't like them when there's too many or when they are too big. They can also look nice on women but I'm to soft to have one myself.

I have my belly pierced and the chap that did it said I was the most nervous person he had ever pierced (I didn't feel a thing so the nerves were for nothing) and I have my ears pierced twice but couldn't have any more because a friend had a third set put in her ears when I had my second and she said it hurt like hell!!
 
I have a small tattoo of a celtic knot on my backside which I had done as was mentioned earlier for nearest and dearest only and no I don't have loads of those. Thinking about it though if everything goes south as I get older then maybe I'll end up with what may resemble a rope ladder!!!!!!!!
 
You remind me, Margaret, of when I took my friend Ellida to have her ears pierced. We went to Debenhams, where we were greeted by a white-coated posh-sounding bird, who asked what Madam wanted. I said "Madam wants her ears pierced". Ellida is faintly green at this point and struck dumb. White-coated bird then says "She don't look to me like she wants her ears pierced! Do yer?" Ellida nodded dumbly, kept her eyes firmly closed throughout, and nearly broke every bone in my hand with her death grip! - but she got her ears pierced.
 
had my ear pierced one very drunken afternoon in the woodnook inn- with a nappy pin (heated of coarse with me lighter) and a beer cork behind the ear,that was in 1967-never regretted that one,just seemed cheaper than a proffesional job,happy days lol
 
You're lucky it didn't get infected.

But then people did a lot of things back then that wouldn't be allowed today due to things like health and safety issues, and the increasing 'sue' culture
 
Oh, Pendy......I had mine done at Val-hal way back in 1977........my hubby said that if I passed my finals he would buy me something nice.........and he did! He bought me a beautiful pair of earrings shaped like heavy knots.......one problem.... they were for pierced ears......my ears only had the holes that I came into the world with.

I must have gone to the shop about half a dozen times before I could screw up enough courage to go in.
When I got inside I asked if I could have my ears numbed for the process.......the guy said 'No...... it doesn't hurt'.
I sat down and said ' I didn't know what was worse, having my ears pierced or having a baby'.........he said 'well......tell me which you want and I'll alter the chair'.........CHEEK, and what's more.......it did hurt!

I dont mind tattoo's or piercings, i have both i have a panther on my back, my ears are pierced and my tounge is pierced, I like tounge piercings eventualy i got the courage up to have mine done when i went i thought they would numb it but he didnt he put a dot on my tounge where it was going and i had to sit with my tounge hanging out so that it would dry up and then he could get a grip of it with them clamp scissors thingies, an then got the needle and just pushed it through (he said it was just like peircing butter!!!) it hurt a little but not as much as you think it will. Then he put a long bar through it and that was that then the funny bit i couldnt talk properly or eat properly for about a week.

But all has been well since i had it done a year ago.

My Mum hates it she didnt want me to get it done but at 27 years old and children of my own she couldnt do much.

Sorry MUM XX
 
I have two . One with my blood group. Which a good few lads seem to get in the army. The second is a red rose with a bulldog in the middle.
 
To all those talking about the tattoo shop above lagermonkeys.
Yes it is the same guy (I think he is called mick) who used to be on whalley rd (ex marys music shop) but the shop at lagermonkeys has closed down and I believe he has moved to Warner St. My ex sister in law used to work with him at largermonkeys so I will try to find more details for you all.

p.s. I dont have any tats or piercings. I dont believe in them but its up to the individual. :eek:
 
I just don't believe in paying for someone to give you pain.........I am going to be in a hell of a fix when the dentist letter comes through.......pain in the gob and pain in the wallet.

Here's a comforting thought for you margeret while your waiting for your letter,

Did you know it was a dentist that invented the electric chair? (talk about painless extraction!).
​
 
A friend of my daughters died of septecemia after having a tattoo done in Tenerife. Would'nt even consider having one. Their are enough risks in life without asking for trouble.
 
Less....when I get that letter, I will feel like I am going into the electric chair........I think my daughter is going to borrow a cattle prod to make sur e I get there!

If our appointments are on the same day I'll hold your hand (and you can feed me diazepam):D
 
No tattoos on me;but I have both ears pierced and one pierced at the top,and it hurt like hell! Apparently it's cartilage at the top and never really heals properly though it nevers bothers me now.
 
I had a tattoo done many moons ago by my ex-hubbys mate who was a tatooist at the time. Its on the top of my thigh and is a puppy running. The colour is all faded now.

That tatooist shop that was next to Clark's motorcycle shop tattoed my eldest son and he was only 13 at the time. They believed him when they said he was 18. I dont know what i was most mad at, my son or the cheap and crap badly done tattoo. You should have seen their faces when i frog-marched my son back to the shop with his birth certificate ! They closed down shortly after.
