Oh dear. That's an overwhelming vote against my plan then. Not the snake idea, you understand, but the general "small discreet in a place not many people would see it" tatoo idea. But it seems the general view is that they don't look good on birds.


I feel all sad now.

Look. Tattoos, like mullets and brand spanking New build buy to let flats, look fine at the time BUT...they soon look crap and one becomes bored of them and they're irremoveable, say unlike that charming print you got in {insert last holiday} which after a year you bung away. Therefore, the only tatoos that are really worth it are ones that have their original purpose of saying that you are part of a proper group/gang OR one's that are so in your face (and that normally means on your face)that people go "WTF was he/she thinking" poncey thai bands on middleclass kids on their gap years...do f*clk off. Tattoos in intimate places are also a waste of time and look dead stupid in moments of passion.

I once saw a skinhead with '555' tatooed on the back of his head. After a few drinks I felt brave enough to ask him why. He said he thought it was the sign of the devil, but got it wrong.


True story.


Acceptable:

Swallows on back of hands between thumb and forefinger (a Navy thang)

Small tattoo of a tiger on a lady's inner thigh (a Brum thang)

Tattoos were always considered to be a 'branding' mark which one assumed from afar especially on the beach, were the worst of people.


It is not true they are not the worst, they just have suspect taste in what they do to their bodies.


My eldest daughter had been considering one for some months,

when my sister explained that most of her time spent working for the NHS was involved in removing unsightly and ill thought out tattoos on the bodies of people who new better but wilfully went ahead and did it anyway.


There are many thousands who would be rid of them if they had a magic wand.

Apparently the removal of them is costly and painful, and you can always tell where the procedure took place.


I hope and pray my daughters do not venture any further than the youngest one, having a piercing done at the back of her neck waiting to go sceptic.


I find them pointless, hideous, and extremely permanent.

I hope and pray that the removal procedure is not being done on the NHS. If one penny of NHS money were to be spent removing tattoos then it would cause me to come over all Daily Mail. Seriously.

It's all bollox this "wot is acceptable and wot isnt". If ya dont like it dont look and certainly stop wiv the silly look down ur nose attitude.


If u r considering getting a tatt dont be swayed by wot others think. Its something u should do bcoz u want to do it not coz of wot others think u should or shouldn't do. As wiv wot kind of tatt and where u choose to wear it.

    • James  may have initiated the boards but there would have been a group of people who would have taken in turn to keep boards up to date. When locks and boards were vandalised  it took some while (around 2 years) for the council to repair/replace and many of the group who maintained them, moved/died. I know James was not seen so much in ED due to  family  illness/bereavement  and I believe he also changed his job.
