tattoos

Post by jamamb »

seems like pretty much every boxers got them. i wonder what the percentage of pros with them is. lol maybe bbbc could track this in liscening applications

is it a hard mans thing? a class thing? a new generation thing? also i wonder why so many are pure black rather then coloured

you got any?

Me neither, if you need a tattoo to prove you are hard, you ain't hard.

Some of it is the hard man and class thing, but maybe some of them worked in vegan patisserie’s before donning the gloves :maybe:

When i was a kid we lived by this land fill site. It was ace going there on a weekend and finding bits and bobs that people had thrown away. I found a few things and a nice army torch one day. One thing I remember was finding a few niff mags and me and a few mates took them to this banking where we could read them. I was only about 9 and that sort of thing like condoms was a bit of a taboo in them days.

Anyway we flicked through a mag and saw some gay stuff, the big fellas had tattoos and was getting oral and the rest. I think me and my mates were quite shocked that men were actually doing this stuff to each other. If I got a tattoo it would remind of those days as I now look at them in that light.

No thanks, not getting a tattoo and giving away my bum.

I’ve never had a tattoo and never will. Nothing against them, I just can’t think of anything I’d want on me permanently.

Yeh I remember bunking off school and finding hundreds in a bush, about 5 bags full, someone mustve been having a clear out, me and my mates grabbed them and took them somewhere close by and out of sight, one of the 2 other people I was with argue still about who suggested the wank, nobody wanked thankfully but someone did suggest it

I don’t have any and never will. I don’t mind one or two small and discrete tattoos on a woman but when they’re too big as seems to be the fashion these days (especially on the legs) I find it rather off-putting. My wife doesn’t have any, although she has semi-permanent makeup because she can’t be bothered drawing her eyebrows every day...

Nobody I know with tattoos got them because they thought they were hard by doing so. I certainly didn't.

I have 2 tattoos. I certainly didn't get them with the intention of looking badass, I got them as an expression of my love of music. I have a version of the Grateful Dead logo on my right arm, and the Motorhead logo on my left arm. If I get any more tattoos they would follow this scheme of being Rock 'n Roll based, as my intent with any tattoos is to keep this theme. Doubtful I get many more, but I may get a few. If the spirit moves me.

Covered in them. I’ve never thought they made anyone look hard or were especially meaningful for anyone else, there purely just personal to me.

They’ll def look a bit gash if I get to seventy but so would being bald or fat.

I knew a bloke in the army who claimed to have no entry signs tattooed on his arse. I never asked to see them so can't confirm 100%.

I'm sure that it was very amusing at the time he got them, but he must be in his 50s now, I imagine he regrets them.

Simply BEING 70 means you're no longer looking your best :lol:

I got a tattoo of a celtic cross when I was about 16, horrible looking thing, I like to claim its similar to Calzaghe's but in reality its identical to Mel C's

As my dad used to say that when he was a lad the only people who had tattoos were soldiers, sailors and bikers.
