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

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.

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.

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

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

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
