I kind of love the ides of the temporary tattoo sleeve... the chance to have a different tattoo any time on a whim

http://www.giftsupplying.com/product/pic/tattoosleeve.jpg

but... then again is that a bit like making graffiti legal... sort of takes the meaning out of it


ie

tattoos = permanent

graffiti = done under cover of darkness to avoid arrest

I like tattoos, even Amy Winehouse's tattoos and I think most people who have tattoos don't really give a crap about the opinions of people who don't like them. I hate mediocre 'Gap' type clothes, but thousands of people think it's ok to walk about looking bland and boring. I wouldn't think it was my place to turn my nose up at them and criticise them for their clothes and lifestyle choices, but anti-tat people think it's acceptable to not just criticise people with tattoos, but do it in a pretty sneering way.


I'm just glad i'm me, tattos, piercings and all; and not you judgemental tat-haters.

Sorry to say CitizenEd that is just a load of nonsense, I know why I have tattoos and I dont have to justify myself to anyone. To say "Wouldnt the same image in a book have the same meaning" No its does not. I have just finished 2 hours of MSc critique and every so often I look at the rosary on my foot when I am feeling low and tired and it empowers me. So unless you understand and feel how I feel about my tattoos, then please do not compare it to looking at a book.

I have always felt that a tattoo brand's you, and while at the moment they seem to have become popular with various celebs they always hint at low life behaviour like having a bruiser dog instead of a pooch which is acceptable.


My sister worked in a hospital for years and the major part of her time was spent organising the removal of tattoo's where people had been revolted by there own stupidity at their "body art". Even when they are removed you can see where they were, as the skin is not the same after the op.


Guys with lots of tattoo's often suggests time in prison. I had never seen a woman with a tattoo until fairly recently, as it was generally considered to be for macho bad boys.


Nope, I think they are best left to someone else, but they are certainly not for me, not even for free.

W**F

I've got a Chinese imperial dragon on my upper right arm when I was 17 I'm being deadly serious when I say I got it because I was bored and there was nothing else to do. So about an hour later I was sitting in the Tattooists chair and half way through the twin towers were attacked. No, I'll never forget that day.


Absolutely no spiritual reason or any other besides that for it being there. I've never regretted it either.


However,


I don't sympathise one bit when you get these idiots who have their entire arms or half their face done and moan when they're turned down at a job interview.


Not into piercings one bit or those tunnel earings.

OHMYGOD!!!


VILE, VILE, VILE - (stomps foot).


Tattoos are not for everyone, they are very Trailor Trash/Jeremy Kyle Show in my opinion.


I can see what some people are saying about having a childs name as a tattoo - but there are so many other things that can be done - that are not so permanent.


Check out these fabulous trinkets from Chambers and Beau.

They personalise these super necklaces with your poppets' names and your husband's name - divine!

    • I would recommend John Lewis and would stress that to avoid sagging, it is essential to flip your mattress one a month - in both directions ie flip end to end and side to side.
    • The manager replied and said the hand cycle will be replaced shortly, so that’s good news and well received. 
    • Aaron was very generous with his time and advice when I called him on a Saturday. He then re-plastered the boxing around the flue and fitted a new panel of wood above boiler cupboard. He did the plastering and some carpentry, as needed, at a very fair price. He fitted the work in at short notice, turned up when arranged, and completed the repairs thoroughly to a high standard. Very pleased with the result. Aaron Manser:  07773 410661
    • I’ve had good experiences with both Millbrook and a Dunlopillo latex mattress.   You do not have to turn a Latex mattress.  John Lewis sell partial latex mattresses and they also sell Millbrook mattresses.     Sharon White, the CEO of JL, is leaving next month. From what I’ve read,   I believe a lot of their recent problems stem from her headship.
