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.

    • Hey are these two keys with no keyring? I lost them a while back so not sure if they will be the same!
    • Another glowing review for Julian!! I am now referring to Julian as ‘the legend’. I had spent 5 years waiting until I could afford to get some cupboards built in, and I couldn’t be happier. I am often allergic to overbearing advice when it comes to work I have commissioned and am paying for, but I found Julian’s advice so helpful. He offered his opinion about my plans in a very constructive way, and helped me come up with a much better plan. His ideas were better than mine! Not something I usually like to admit. The work was exemplary, and he cleared up beautifully. He was communicative and a pleasure to deal with. I am so delighted with my cupboards and floating shelves. He doesn’t paint them, but I think that is better, as it’s a specialist job, and it means you can either save money and paint them yourself, or get a painter and decorator to paint them properly. He is a brilliant carpenter. The only problem now is that I have so much more hanging space thanks to his advice, that I may not get rid of all the old clothes I can no longer fit into!  Anyway, highly highly recommended if you need fitted carpentry cupboards or shelves, and want to work with someone who cares about the outcome. Thank you so much Julian! 
    • For many years I went to Ken's on NXR.  He was pretty much the only barber  in ED  Now we have more barbers than you could shake a stick at - all the way down from the Plough through to DKH and some are empty of customers - even on the evenings and weekends.  I never ceased to be amazed that they continued to operate despite not having clients and realised that they were probably into money-laundering - just like the sweet shops along Oxford street. I went once to one on LL and certainly wasn't impressed with their. My dear wife has cut my hair ever since. I don't believe in supporting criminals.

    • People are more likely to go back and retrace their route rather than look on the EDF.  If you’re reluctant to put them on a fence or something, perhaps you could put a note with your phone number there
