    Quite! I have a few tattoo's and don't think I'm chavvy, but I guess they are v mainstream now. I think it all depends v much on what and where the tattoo is!
    Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.

        But hey, any of you guys want to call me a chav or my significant other a tramp or a slag at the next CUK meet up then go ahead.
        That was ironic, right?

              L40 Grandmaster Wizard Churchy wrote : His narrow mindedness is a shame? Nope, to be expected. He's the first to get uppity when people react in a way that he doesn't like when he's dressed the way he does. I thought he was broad-minded, obviously only when it suits him. Oh well.
              Funnily enough, I've never had any problems when dressed in my going out gear, a few strange looks sometimes, but nothing to make me uppity as such.

              I think you'll find that people are generally broad-minded and tolerant in some things and not in others.

              I for example, was quite negatively taken aback by your breathtakingly misogynistic arrogance with regards to Women joining the Masons (apart from a few token clubs paying "lip service").

              I honestly thought I'd stepped back to the Dark Ages.

              Then I realised that the Masons were founded in those times, by misogynistic and cranky old men and I thought to myself, "Well, everyone's got to have a hobby, I suppose", and left it at that.

              As I said, I think you will find that narrow-mindedness and intolerance is alive and kicking in most homosapiens to one degree or another, and whilst I thank you for pointing out one of mine, I felt it only fair to highlight one of yours.
              Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

                    Huh??

                    Who mentioned cars or birds? Perhaps you should read the thread again.

                      I am surprised by BGG.
                      Considering his apparent "alternative" life style and all that that entails I would have expected him to be a lot more accepting, even appreciative of peoples body art and piercings. After all it is them making a statement about their life style choices.

                      I agree that chavs have somewhat undermined the world of tattoos, but tats have been around a lot longer than chavs.
                      I appreciate good tats even if they are on chavs.
                      I am assuming BGG does not aprove of lip nose tongue and eyebrow piercings either as they are also soooooo chav.

                      I would like to invite all those who have shouted chav to attend next years Rebellion punk festival in Blackpool with me where we can make your opinion known to the 5000 (ap) attendees.
                      I am not qualified to give the above advice!

                      Step back, have a think and adjust my own own attitude from time to time
