Tattoos and piercings

[kev_off_the_tee]

1 tribal bull across my shoulder blades after being known as a bit off a dirty tackler at footy. (now reformed)

I'm after another but it's going to take some thought and designing. I want it to be my last and include all the important things in my life, family, friends, music and sport.

So my wife will be holding a gun and wearing a slash style tophat, my daughter holding a rose and the tribal bull will be playing keepy up with a football

Ok on old sailors or people from the estates but surely not at the Golf Club.

Reading this post there seems to be a link between getting a tattoo and getting a divorce.

Eagle on my left forearm from when I was in the RAF.......had it done on Lincoln High Street in 1979. Only regret is that I wish I'd have had it done higher so I could hide it if I wanted.

Oops. OK, but I'm not the one getting the tattoo.

Currently have six - wife and kids names on lower right arm tribal band upper right arm Disney marathon logo on right calf and ironman triathlon logo on left calf - all mean something to me and planning some more - liver bird on left forearm and Chinese dragon on upper arm would also get ace of clubs if ever got a hole in one!

Have tattoos on my arms. Hate the bloody things.
Wish I'd never had them done now

Hoping that is a joke or would you have kicked Seve out of your golf club?

I have a small tattoo of my wife's name on my shoulder blade, surrounded by several snowflakes. We met in Morzine in the Alps, did 3 weeks of skiing and snowboarding together every season before our children arrived, and got married at the top of a glacier in Whistler, hence the snowflakes.

I had it done so she could have a badge of ownership. The first time she saw this was on our wedding night and it rather ruined the atmosphere as she refused to believe it was for real and spent the first 30 minutes in the Fairmont Whistler bridal suite trying to see if it would clean off! She doesn't like tattoos at all in a general sense but loves mine and the fact I had it done.

I think tattoos with meaning are okay and if you want to put the hours and investment in to have major pieces done then that is fine with me too. The tattoos that I think are slightly silly though are ones that have no relevance to the person's heritage.

For example, a Celtic band on the arm of someone whose closest brush with Scotland is a bowl of porridge in 1992. Or Chinese symbols for anyone that cannot read or has some connection to Chinese. Seems frankly ridiculous to me...... you are not Chinese, can't read the words and have no idea whether it says what you wanted or is simply taken from the menu of the local takeaway.

I don't like the fashion for girls tattoos at the base of the back. A little bit tacky. No wonder they are nicknamed "tramp stamps!"

Each to their own though I suppose.....

I nearly got a Springbok tattoo when we won the world cup in 2007 but chickened out. I guess I just couldn't have something that permanent on me. I am not a massive fan of tats or piercings but that's just me. Any guys birds got what is known as a slag tag/tramp stamp? Now those I hate!

 

[AuburnWarrior]

Nope, none and none.
Tattoos look OK on young, muscle bound geezers. The kind of bloke that looks like he could pull you through a car window for listening to HEART FM. Alas, once a bloke loses his 'pertness', the tattoos look rather rubbish.
Piercings should be reserved for African tribe members. Nothing screams 'attention seeker' more than seeing a man with various metal 'parts' skewered through his face/ears. The irony is that people with untold piercings believe that they are 'different' from the rest when, in fact, they're all the same as all the other pierce merchants.

Women with tattoos - oh dear......

 

[Imurg]

None at all - of either...

My body is a Temple.........:rofl:

I don't mind these if they have their name on.... helps me remember

I met my ex-wife at Battersea dogs home.
I too have her hame tattooed on my shoulder blade, but surrounded by dogs turds.
Gets quite a few comments that one.

This is a joke right???

Anyone got any?
I have 12 tattoo's, one of which I need to get removed, planning on getting a back piece and a sleeve, then may think about stopping.
Piercings I only have one at the mo, which I got done on Monday (Prince Albert), planning on getting my tongue done in the next fortnight or so.

Knew a bloke with one -then his misses had a copper coil fitted.

- should have seen the sparks fly.
