Re: tattoos
No tattoos for me, why gild the lily.
Re: tattoos
I remember you saying that before and your about right. I would add jailbirds and strippers to that too.
So that if you are not one of the above, don't get one!
Re: tattoos
Yeah a lot of them go hand in hand as well, soldiers, sailors and bikers would always end up around strippers for a bit of R&R and quite often soldiers, sailors, bikers and strippers would end up inside.
Re: tattoos
Also I have loads but then I was in the army and I am a biker so I'm allowed.

Re: tattoos
Got loads , , I would never have them on my arms , hands , fingers , neck or face ,, always said you can't go giving quotes and scaring the little old lady who rang you up , Its a personal thing for me not a tough guy thing , Most would'nt even know i've got loads , because i don't go in the sun especielly without being covered , , Plus the sun ruins tattoos , mine don't see the sun , some are 30 plus years old and still look like they were done a couple of years ago , Wife says why did you get them if you don't show them , I say Dunno really

Re: tattoos
It's against my personal philosophy. I don't wear anything that isn't necessary.
I also don't go for the goatee or mustache. I either shave my face or I don't.

Re: tattoos
Each to their own. Personally it's a no for me, perhaps I'm just not creative enough. My friend is wanting his first tattoo as a mark of his love and respect for his late father. I lost my dad 2 years ago, personally don't feel I need a slogan on my arm to remember my love and respect for him

Re: tattoos
I've no tattoos
I've thought about getting a portrait of me daughter or something like that,something meaningful but I've never got round to it & don't really pay tattoos much thought tbh
As for being a "hardman" cos of a bit of ink I think only a proper lob would have that attitude,there's always gonna be an element of people who carry on silly who get tattoos like there is an element with most things,most folk I know who have tattoos though have got meaningful ones that are personal to them

The type of guy to buy a tap out T shirt is the type of guy to get a tattoo

Re: tattoos
I have a Tap-Out t-shirt. They make a nice change from my usual Slazenger or Lonsdale

Re: tattoos
IAM in my 30s now and it was a prison. Soldiers and football fans for me that had tattoos.i AM from inner city London. I wanted to get a couple in my 20s but far too expensive pissed up that kind off money instead. Glad I never now . But for me now it is fashion. all these selves and dodgy Celtic symbols Or Chinese menus on some domes back and so on. My old man or older brother can't stand it when watching boxing now . It don't bother me to .I get more upset with big beards
Re: tattoos
no, no rings, no chains, no beard, no piercing, no tattoos, no nothing..
