What’s wrong with tattoos?

PontePete, on 08 September 2023 - 03:27 PM, said:

given you only questioned in respect of tattoos are you condoning the insult of vapers...?

PontePete, on 08 September 2023 - 03:27 PM, said:

Nothing at all.

Are you prejudice against folk sporting tattoos then?

Absolutely not Ian. As you know, I am tolerant of everyone apart from the filthy yellow scabs of course. 😉

I was asking cos I have tatts but I don’t vape. Having said that, my son is on the vape train and I’d rather he hadn’t started, but I’d still rather that than cigs

Explain please.

I know, I'm in the neither camp but I dont consider that better just different...and vaping at least smells better than weed....just

Nothing against tattoos at all. However I just don't understand why people have them.

Don't they make surrounding muscles stronger.

Tattoos nowadays are proper art. It’s like sticking a painting on a plain wall to make it look a bit more interesting.

It was the ever lovely Nadine Dorres (!) who said that communities with tattoo parlours and vape shops were the cause of anti social behaviour etc etc.

So you think of yourself as boring and wouldn't you get fed up of looking at the same picture for the rest of your life.

fishini, on 08 September 2023 - 08:17 PM, said:

Don't you look in the mirror then! 😉

fishini, on 08 September 2023 - 08:17 PM, said:

Not at all, doesn’t make you boring if tatts aren’t for you, but I’m saying I can understand why people decide to have them because otherwise it’s just a plain bit of flesh, so why not decorate with something if you like it, if that’s your thing.

I get a lot of comments from people who say they like my sleeve when they see it for the first time, on hols etc.

This is part of my sleeve, you may like it, you might hate it, I’m not offended either way

PontePete, on 08 September 2023 - 08:37 PM, said:

Looks like a decent piece of art - but what was it that made you think- “I really need an old bloke leaning against a lamp post on my arm for ever and I want everyone to be able to see it”?

calvin plummers socks, on 08 September 2023 - 08:53 PM, said:

Dunno, why did Constable paint a picture of some nob head driving his horse and cart into a massive puddle and call it “The Haywain”?

On a serious note though it’s a good question. I wanted something that wouldn’t age, stand the test of time. Found a theme/design I liked on Pinterest and took it to the tattooist and he adapted it.

That’s obviously just part of it, there’s a lot more to the whole sleeve than that. There’s other things that are personal to me further down the sleeve like my kid’s dates of birth on torn out pages of a calendar etc

However on the other arm….

Yep I know it’s shi*, I was 17 when I had it done and then had it touched up about 5 years ago because it had faded so much. That belongs forever though because you never change your team do you?
